Your UNI is created three to five business days after we receive your tuition deposit. To activate your UNI, click the “Activate Your UNI or LionMail Account” option on the Manage My UNI page. If you are unable to look up your UNI using the available search tool and more than five business days have passed, please contact apply [[at]] sps [[dot]] columbia [[dot]] edu (apply[at]sps[dot]columbia[dot]edu).

Newly admitted and continuing auditors will be notified when the available courses are posted for the upcoming term and will receive detailed instructions regarding registration procedures at that time. Students registering after the designated registration period will be charged the University-wide late registration fee. The Directory of Classes lists the available courses and includes class time and location as well as the class call number needed at the time of registration. You can search for auditing courses by clicking “A” in the “Course Listings by Department” box and scrolling down to where the Auditing Department is listed.

In order to register, admitted students must first activate their Columbia University email.
