The policies on dissertation fellowships vary from department to department. The Graduate School expects departments to require that the dissertation prospectus be approved and that students have applied for outside funding before approving the award of a departmental dissertation fellowship. This may delay the dissertation fellowship, even if it is part of a multi-year fellowship award.

Several awards, such as the Fulbright-Hays, ACLS, and Newcombe, require, as a condition of the award, that Columbia provide tuition and health fees. In such cases, GSAS makes an exception to the seven-year rule and provides tuition and health fees even if the student is beyond the seventh year
