Cottage Housing
Cottage Housing is an option only available to 4th-year students who have met the college's three-year residential requirement (have lived on campus for at least 6 semesters). These college managed properties include studio, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and 3-bedroom apartments, as well as 4-person, 5-person, and 6-person houses. Cottages are designed to combine some of the best aspects of living on-campus with the responsibilities that come with more independent living. Residents sign a lease for an unfurnished cottage, may have a pet (with a $300 nonrefundable pet deposit), and are not required to purchase a meal plan. Amenities include a full-time Residential Life Coordinator and on-call maintenance staff. Utilities, trash removal, and Wi-Fi are included in the rental cost. Free street parking is available on Weber Street.

Cottage Selection Overview
The 2021-22 Cottage Selection schedule is listed in the below steps.
Step One: Attend an Off Campus WorkshopThese sessions are not mandatory but highly recommended for seniors applying for cottage housing. |
Step Two: Complete the 2021-22 Cottage ApplicationThe online Cottage Housing Application can be accessed here. The application opens on Monday, April 12 and will close at 5 p.m. MDT on Friday, April 23. Due Date: April 23, 2021 |
Step Three: Conduct VerificationIf 50% or more of the applicants in a group have significant conduct history (College housing restriction or greater sanctions) or have been involved in multiple incidents together, the group application will be ineligible. If you are uncertain whether or not your group qualifies to apply for a cottage together, we suggest that you email Molly Hayden at mhayden@coloradocollege.edu prior to the application due date. We will check the conduct history of your group and advise you of your eligibility so that you have time to reconfigure your group if the current configuration is not eligible to apply together. |

FAQ
Am I eligible?
To be eligible to apply for a cottage, students must have been admitted to CC with an expected graduation date of May 2022. Transfer students should contact Housing to determine their eligibility to apply for cottage housing.
Can I apply to more than one cottage configuration?
Yes. A student can apply for more than one cottage configuration, however, a student can only be listed on one application per cottage configuration. For example, a student can submit an application for two types of cottage configurations (i.e., a 1-person and a 5-person cottage group), but cannot be part of multiple applications for the same configuration (i.e., a student cannot be a part of two 5-person cottage applications). Each application receives a different lottery number.
If I apply for multiple configurations, can I put one offer on hold to see if I am able to get another offer?
(i.e., Can I hold an offer for a 2-person to see if I am offered a 4-person cottage?)
No. During the selection process, you will have to accept or decline an email offer within a prescribed period of time. Once you have accepted an offer, any other group application you are on becomes void because the application is invalid when a member drops out of the group application. The individuals on the group application would not be eligible for a cottage unless they are listed on another application that is still in the selection process.
Does the entire group have to be present for selection?
No. Cottage housing offers will be made via student CC email for 2021-22. Decisions made by the group representative will be binding for the entire group (this includes bedroom selection).
I will be away from campus during the cottage selection process. Can I still apply?
Yes. You may still participate in the selection process by appointing a proxy to submit an application and act on your behalf during the selection process. Please email housing@coloradocollege.edu with the name of your proxy. Please choose your proxy carefully, as you will be entrusting this person with the responsibility of handling the application process and/or selection for you.
Are the cottages all-gender?
Yes. Students are allowed to name any roommate, regardless of gender identity.
What are the move in/move out dates?
Move-in is August 23, 2021. Move-out is May 23, 2022.
During the year, how will roommates be replaced if they leave?
If a student vacates at any time, the remaining roommates will have the opportunity to name a new roommate (must have completed 6 semesters on campus). If you are not able to name a roommate, Housing may work with you to find a roommate utilizing the waitlist.
