NEW GSAS Rules and Regulations describes most of the policies that apply to students in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. Web sites are listed for those University regulations that have too much information to supply in detail here. All M.A., M.Phil., and Ph.D. students should familiarize themselves with and follow the regulations of the University, the Graduate School, and their individual programs of study. Please be aware that lack of knowledge about University, GSAS and/or departmental rules and policies cannot excuse students for failure to comply with these regulations.
Specifically, the information in this booklet should be supplemented by Facts About Columbia Essential To Students (FACETS) at http://www.columbia.edu/cu/facets/, which provides a complete description of University policies and resources relevant to all students. In addition, students in free-standing M.A. or Liberal Studies M.A. programs should consult GSAS M.A. Student Handbook, and students in Ph.D. programs or the D.M.A. program should consult GSAS Ph.D. Student Handbook, both on the GSAS web site at http://www.columbia.edu/cu/gsas/.
Although the degree and academic requirements in place normally will not change within any given academic year, other GSAS policies are reviewed and updated regularly. The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences reserves the right to make changes at any time. To be certain of a GSAS rule or policy, please contact gsas_dean@columbia.edu or call 212-854-2861.
Columbia University admits students of any race, color, national, or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded to or made available to students in the University. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, national or ethnic origin, disability, citizenship status, marital status, or Vietnam Era or disabled veteran status in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loans programs, and athletic or other University-administered program.
Columbia University is committed to providing a working and learning environment free from unlawful discrimination and discrimination and to fostering a nurturing and vibrant community founded upon the fundamental dignity and worth of all of its members. It does not discriminate against or permit harassment of applicants for employment on the basis of race, color, sex, gender (including gender identity and expression), pregnancy, religion, creed, national origin, age, alienage and citizenship, status as a perceived or actual victim of domestic violence, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, military status, partnership status, genetic predisposition or carrier status, arrest record, or any other legally protected status.
Nothing in these policies shall abridge academic freedom or the University’s educational mission. Prohibitions against discrimination and harassment do not extend to statements or written materials that are germane to classroom subject matter.
