The Graduate School is a member of the Inter-University Doctoral Consortium (IUDC), which provides for cross-registration among member institutions. Participating schools are CUNY Graduate Center, Fordham University, New School for Social Research, New York University (including the Institute of Fine Arts), Princeton University, Rutgers University, and Stony Brook University. Teachers College (TC) is also a member of the IUDC, but Columbia students interested in TC classes should cross-register within Columbia rather than use the IUDC. M.A. students are not eligible for this program.

Ph.D. Students in years 2 through 6 register at Columbia for the course(s) they plan to take at the visiting institution by using an IUDC form (see below). It is possible that the host institution will also require students to register there. Tuition is paid to the Graduate School. Classes may be taken for a grade or for audit and will appear on the Columbia transcript. Students will receive a letter or ID card allowing them library reading privileges at the host institution. Columbia students going to New York University may use their CUID card. Students must register between August 29 and September 28 for fall and between January 8 and February 14 for Spring.

Information and application forms are available in 301 Philosophy Hall. Questions may be directed to Craig Knobles at 212-854-2861 or email: jck2@columbia.edu
