The '''Center for Student Advising''' provides academic advice for [[Columbia College]] and [[SEAS]] undergraduates.

The center is headed by [[Andrew Plaa|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".

== Location and hours ==
The CSA has been located on the renovated 4th floor of Lerner Hall since [[2010]]. Their office is at 403 [[Lerner Hall]] and is open as follows:
*Office hours: Mon-Thurs 9am-7pm; Fri 9am-5pm
*Walk-in hours: Mon-Thurs 2:30pm-4pm
