On rare occasions, students who are matriculated doctoral
candidates at other institutions (usually international schools or universities)
and who wish to do research at the Graduate School, but who do not wish to
enroll in a degree program, may be permitted to register as non-degree special
students. Admission to this standing is made by the Office of the Dean in
consultation with the faculty in a department relevant to the student’s research
interests. Special student status is limited to a maximum of two terms. Requests
for consideration for special student status should clearly specify whether or
not the research requires enrollment in courses or only the use of facilities.
Inquiries should be made to the Office of Admissions, 107 Low Memorial Library.
Post-baccalaureate applicants who are not degree candidates elsewhere but who
wish to take non-degree graduate level courses at Columbia should register as
Postgraduate Non-Degree Students through the School of Continuing Education, 203
Lewisohn Hall, tel.: (212) 854-2820.
