My colleagues and I in the Office of Residential Life are very excited to welcome you to Colgate. To begin the housing assignment process for the 2024–25 academic year, please login to your Colgate Housing Portal to complete your housing preference form. You will use this portal throughout your time at Colgate, so you may want to bookmark the page. The deadline to submit your housing preference form is Saturday, June 15, 2024, at 11:55 p.m. EDT.
Accessing Your Housing Preference Form
- Use your Colgate email address and password to log in to the housing portal at colgate.edu/housingportal. It is important that you use your username and password and not your applicant ID when logging in; your applicant ID will not grant you access to your account.
- On the homepage of your portal, a new option should now be available towards the top of the screen, Housing Application, click this to navigate to the application page.
- On the Housing application page, you will be able to access the Academic Year 2024-2025 application. Click Apply to begin the application process.
- Follow the step-by-step instructions.
- Click Save & Continue on the Housing Agreement page so that residential life staff members will receive your information. We will only review the submitted forms.
You will learn your Residential Commons and receive your housing and roommate(s) information toward the end of July. Because first-year students’ housing assignments are connected to their First-Year Seminar, this information will be available following the course assignments made by the Registrar’s Office.
Accessible Housing Adjustment
Students who may require a disability-related housing accommodation/adjustment should complete the Accessible Housing Adjustment/Accommodation Application 2024–25. The application can be found on the homepage on your new student checklist. More information about the accessible housing adjustment process and commonly asked questions are available on the Office of Student Disability Services website.
The accessible housing adjustment application is also due by Saturday, June 15, 2024, at 11:55 p.m. EDT.
The Office of Student Disability Services will review submissions and determine the status of each submitted request. All relevant documentation should be included in your application. Questions about the housing accommodations/adjustment application process should be directed to Evelyn Lester, PhD, director of disability services, at elester@colgate.edu.
Again, we are excited to welcome you as the newest members of the Colgate community. Please feel free to reach out to us this summer if we can answer a question. You can contact our office at reslife@colgate.edu or 315-228-7367. Our office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. We look forward to assisting you with this important step in your transition to Colgate.
Sincerely,
Mo Muckinhaupt, Director of Residential Life
Gwynne Lim, Associate Director for Residential Operations and Assignments
