For questions or feedback on progress towards the degree, please reach out to swadvising@columbia.edu with questions about your academic course and study plan, issues regarding specific courses or electives, grade concerns, requesting or returning from leaves of absence, wellness concerns, experiences in your field assignment/experience, possible issues of community misconduct, academic progress, climate within or experience with a course.

For students who have concerns about their grades, we encourage they speak with their instructor to see if a resolution can be achieved. They should also meet with their advisor to brainstorm about the next steps. This might include mediation with the student, instructor, and an Office of Advising staff member. Information about grade appeals can be found in the Student Handbook pgs. 41-42.

Students can review the curriculum via Student Services’ Registration Guides and Course Information. In addition, the Office of Advising is available to answer curriculum questions by appointment via the Advising Appointment Scheduler.
