Course Seats and Required Preparation
Admitted students may register for any course for which they are prepared–i.e., any noted prerequisites must be fulfilled.
In over-enrolled courses, Columbia degree candidates often have priority over non-degree students.
College Edge students typically enroll in lower-level (1000–2999) courses and must obtain special permission from the Advisor of the Pre-College Programs to register for upper-level courses (3000 and above).
Please note that some courses have prerequisites. In addition, College Edge students are restricted from enrolling in workshop and seminar courses.
Subject Areas
The University reserves the right to withdraw or modify the courses of instruction or to change the instructors as may become necessary. We recommend you speak with an Advisor for the most up-to-date information available.
