Welcome Back!
If you were previously enrolled at Columbia and paused/interrupted your studies for more than one full semester (not counting Summer), then you're considered a returning student.
If you have not interrupted your studies for more than one full semester, then you do not need to apply to re-enroll. Please contact or visit the College Advising Center on the third floor of 623 South Wabash Avenue, by emal at collegeadvising@colum.edu, or by phone at 312-369-7645.
To re-enroll as a Columbia student:
