The Center for Student Advising provides academic advice for Columbia College and SEAS undergraduates.
The center is headed by Dean Andrew Plaa.
Services
Students are assigned a CSA adviser, who works with them throughout their time at Columbia. Students can schedule academic advising appointments online, by phone or at the CSA reception.
CSA services include:
- general academic advising
- Academic Success Programs
- Columbia Undergraduate Scholars Program (CUSP)
- Office of Preprofessional Advising
- Peer Advising
History
It is the result of the merger of FYSAAC and JSAC in 2007. As a result of the merger, students now have the same academic adviser for all four years of college.
Furthermore, as part of Columbia's never-ending quest for the ideal platonic "form of the bureaucracy", the Office of Pre-Professional Advising, Columbia Undergraduate Scholars Program and Academic Success Programs have been rolled into the "CSA" umbrella along with "general advising".
