Registration
New Postbac students must obtain program approval and telephone/online registration materials in person from the Continuing Education office on the second floor of Lewisohn during the registration periods indicated on the Calendar. Students should bring their completed registration forms (including course-approval signatures), with them. Approval or signature from the program advisor is NOT REQUIRED, but it is advantageous to review your courses with him or her, either in person or via email, to ensure that you are proceeding properly. Continuing Postbac students can now pre-register for courses at the same time as Columbia College undergraduates. For questions about registration by phone or your PIN number for registration, contact the Continuing Education office directly or look at the website.
Transfer Credit
It is possible to transfer up to 2 courses from your undergraduate institution. The course must meet the following criteria for approval:
- A grade of B- or better
- Course taken within the past 5 years
- Comparable Columbia course
- Approval of curriculum by program advisor
Housing
- Many of you are moving to the Columbia University area and will be in need of housing. Unfortunately, Postbac students do not qualify for On-Campus Housing or University Apartment Housing. You will have access to the Off-Campus Housing Registry is listed below. Good apartments are also often acquired through 'word-of-mouth' or through postings around campus (Broadway @ 116th also seems to have a lot of signs).
