How to apply for housing for incoming 1st years...?

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 https://housing.columbia.edu/StarPor...wawyQrB1jPheWw

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).

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

Help!!

So date of birth IS the password? And I'm assuming there's no slashes (/).....

but WHERE/WHAT is the PID? It's not the columbia student ID number righT? because it doesn't start with C00.....

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.

You should delete your student number. That is private.

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