<p>Hi everyone. So i just turned in my SIR for Columbia! :) How should I apply for housing now? I went to the welcome page and got directed to this link <a href="https://housing.columbia.edu/StarPortalFirstYear/Default.aspx?Params=TC2K1DAiqK2VC6x8NAwawyQrB1jPheWw%5B/url%5D"&gt;https://housing.columbia.edu/StarPortalFirstYear/Default.aspx?Params=TC2K1DAiqK2VC6x8NAwawyQrB1jPheWw&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>The instructions say: If you are an incoming New Student who has not previously applied for housing, please login under Account Login using your PID (C123456789) and Date of Birth (mm/dd/yyyy). </p>

<p>So where should I find my PID? and there's no place to log in using date of birth.....</p>

<p>Help!!</p>

<p>using your PID (C123456789) and Date of Birth (yyyy/mm/dd).
not Date of Birth (mm/dd/yyyy).</p>

3

<p>So date of birth IS the password? And I’m assuming there’s no slashes (/)…</p>

<p>but WHERE/WHAT is the PID? It’s not the columbia student ID number righT? because it doesn’t start with C00…</p>

4

<p>Yes, you do put the slashes in the password. You should have been given your “C00…” number again in your acceptance email, confirmation of enrollment, etc.</p>

5

<p>And it is date of birth mm/dd/yyyy with the slashes.</p>

6

<p>Okay I got it all figured out. Thanks everyone :D</p>

<p>You should delete your student number. That is private.</p>

<p>I’m guessing it’s not really C123456789, so he should be good. I was going to say that at first too though!</p>
