At every CUSP event, you will need to swipe your Columbia ID at the door. Additionally, following most events, you will be asked to submit a brief online evaluation. Your participation will not only ensure that you remain in good standing, but will also enhance your Columbia journey.

While participating in the Program may help you with your financial aid needs, all Scholars' aid packages are determined on a case-by-case basis. Your financial aid officer can assist you with questions regarding educational financing.

Scholars are selected by the Office of Admissions during the application process, based on their academic and extracurricular achievements during high school. All applicants are considered for participation in the Scholars Program; there are no special application forms required.

Students are only permitted to enroll in overlapping classes in rare circumstances when both classes must be taken in the semester in question in order for the student to graduate on time. If you believe you qualify for an exception, you may speak to your Advising Dean and submit a petition to the Committee on Academic Standing during the Change of Program period. Being admitted to overlapping classes in Vergil does not constitute permission to remain in these classes.
