Who are my College and Faculty Advisors?

I am your College Advisor. Please click on your major link above to find out who your Faculty Advisor(s) are.

When can I early register?

Go to your OASIS homepage and click on the envelope icon. This is your OASIS email. Type in your first name.last name, and your password. You will receive notification from Columbia regarding registration. If your email doesn't work, refer to the help information on your OASIS homepage.

When I try to register, OASIS says I need a prerequisite. I'm in that class now, what can I do?

You need to contact your faculty advisor to get a course authorization for the class you are registering for. This could have been done if you met with that advisor before registration.

When can I drop a class?

You may drop a class through the end of the second week of school. After that, you will be charged 100% tuition of that class AND you may NOT add any classes. Dropping classes may affect your financial aid, status in the dorm, Upass, and other things, so you may want to speak to me before you drop.

Further add/drop info and deadlines can be found on the Records Office site.
