Introduction


Welcome

Welcome to Student Services at Columbia University.
Each day, our division helps students, faculty, alumni and staff get things done across our campuses. Our departments have 550 full-time employees here to provide you with the information, understanding and assistance you need to navigate Columbia.

Visit the Preparedness Site

The Pandemic Preparedness site provides the Columbia community with updates from the working group that has been charged with developing a pandemic response plan. The site has information about the University's plans in the event of a pandemic flu, as well as information about how you can help defend yourself against influenza.
