Course registration

Welcome Class of 2017 admits... Once you're done here, head over to the prefrosh portal.

Course registration is the process of signing up for courses to take the following semester.

Advice

In selecting your courses, the following websites are particularly useful:

• Bulletin - list of all classes offered by Columbia
• Directory of Classes - details for the courses you found in the bulletin, including time, place, professor, seats available, any cap on seats, etc. (the information in the bulletin usually lags a few days)
• CULPA - for professor reviews (the best professors are highlighted as "gold")
• WikiCU - the following pages may help:

• Faculty award winners
• Faculty biographies
• Articles on specific majors
• Articles on specific courses

• Adi Schedule Builder

You should also remember to take into account:

• your school's requirements, for example:

• Columbia College requirements
• Engineering requirements

• your major's requirements

Further tips:

• Keep in mind that when you actually register for classes, some of the courses you have selected may be full. Leave some room for flexibility in your schedule so that you can easily select another class section if your top choice is full.

How to actually register

Students can register for courses via the following options:

• online via SSOL
• by phone using a pin code found on SSOL (not sure if this is still a valid method?)
• via the fire-breathing Registrar.

You can use SSOL to determine the date & time of your registration appointment.
