Students are reminded that the last two semesters required for the degree must be taken while enrolled in the College for study on this campus, at Reid Hall in Paris, or at the Berlin Consortium. Any exceptions require special permission from the Committee on Academic Standing. Courses Taken in Other Colleges and Universities A Columbia College student may not leave for a semester or year of study at another United States institution and count such credits toward the Columbia degree. Transfer credit may be granted for study at approved programs abroad . The student remains enrolled in Columbia College and pays tuition here while attending the foreign institution.
Complete instructions governing study abroad are available from the class deans.
While there is no guarantee of credit, a student entering as a first-year may receive up to 6 points of credit toward the degree for college courses taken after graduation from secondary school and prior to matriculation at Columbia. Process for Expressing Academic Concerns Any Columbia College student who wishes to express concerns about a curricular or faculty matter should first have a discussion with the class dean. The dean will then help the student determine whether the issue is particular to the individual student or if it represents a more general concern. Such a conversation will help both parties determine how best to address the situation. The class dean may then consult with a faculty member, a departmental representative, a departmental chair, or the Dean of Academic Affairs.
