No Columbia College student can graduate without clearance from the relevant academic departments and the director of undergraduate studies is required to confirm that their students have successfully completed the requirements for the major or concentration (or will do assuming the successful completion of spring semester classes).
The process of graduation clearance is now on-line. A month prior to the next conferral date, the Registrar's Office will prompt all directors of undergraduate studies to access the "Graduation Certification List" available in SSOL. The list requires users to confirm whether or not each student listed has completed the major or concentration. The prompt submission of departmental clearance is a vital step in students' graduation process.
For questions regarding on-line graduation clearance, please contact James Cunha at jhc4@columbia.edu and 854-1454.
