Auditing Progress Towards the Degree
Columbia College and Columbia Engineering students are able to log into Student Services Online (SSOL) to review their Degree Audit Report (DAR), which can be used to monitor progress toward the degree and can also serve as a tool when discussing and choosing courses during advising sessions.
Major Selection
Depending on whether your student is a Columbia College or Columbia Engineering student will directly impact their coursework and scheduling. Your student should make sure to research and plan ways to reach academic goals and schedule a time to discuss these goals with their advisers.
Room Selection
Now that your student has been on campus for a year and has had more time to explore other residence halls, encourage them to check out their housing options, from living with a group in a suite to living alone to living with a roommate in a corridor-style room.
Student Organizations
After completing a full academic year and taking the time to adjust to life at Columbia, your student may want to get more involved with organizations on campus to connect with others who share their similar passions, skills, identities, and cultures. It’s important for your student to find a balance between time for classes and time for building positive relationships with their peers.
