Resources for Teaching Undergraduate Students

These pages of the Columbia College website have been developed for Columbia faculty and instructors who are teaching and advising undergraduate students.

Because these pages are maintained by the College, the information that you will find here is written generally with Columbia College students in mind, but you may find it useful in your work with students from any of the undergraduate schools at Columbia. Please note that policies and procedures may vary from school to school, and those that apply to a particular student are those of the school in which the student is enrolled.

If you have specific questions about policies and procedures for students in different undergraduate programs, please contact the individuals listed below to learn more about the resources that can be helpful to you:
