These services are provided free to Columbia students. Students in need of tutoring in an area not offered by the Learning Center, e.g., Anatomy and Physiology, can make tutoring arrangements through the Office of Student Services. There is a fee for these services, determined by the student and tutor. The Student Health Service provides a comprehensive mental health care program. Appointments are scheduled immediately.
Confidentiality is maintained.
For those students not enrolled in the Health Services plan, the Assistant Dean for Student Services can suggest referral sources. Advisement Upon enrollment, each student is assigned a faculty adviser who provides academic and professional guidance throughout the course of study. The academic advisor assists individual students to plan a program of study consistent with the academic requirements for the appropriate program and the academic policies of the School of Nursing and Columbia University. Academic advisors may also assist the student in career planning and development and are responsible for writing a summary performance report and recommendation for the School of Nursing, and record for each advisee when the student completes the requirements of the program. This summary becomes part of the graduate's permanent record.
