Registration Appointments

All students are assigned a “Registration Appointment” in order to register for classes each semester via Student Services Online (SSOL). Your Registration Appointment times will be viewable in SSOL beginning the week of 12/24 by clicking “Reg Appts” in the menu on the left side of the screen. The FIRST appointment time listed is the most important, as it indicates the FIRST time you have access to the registration system.

Wait Lists

CSSW utilizes a wait list function for all courses. Students will be able to join a wait list for desired courses that are full. Students will be admitted from the wait list as space becomes available in the course based on the date and time-stamp of their initial placement on the wait list. Once a student has been admitted to the course, they will be notified that course registration has been successful and removed from the wait list.

Useful guidelines for successful course

registration EVERY term

• Ultimately, it is YOUR responsibility to ensure that you are enrolling in all of the classes needed to fulfill your degree requirements.

• You may only register during your scheduled appointment times. The registration period will continue daily from 9:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. weekdays through Friday, Feb. 1st . Note: There are no appointment times on weekends or holidays.

• The Spring 2019 Directory of Classes (DOC) is still a work in progress and is subject to change up until the first day of classes. Please check it regularly.

• You can view the LMSW & LCSW Information guide for courses approved for clinical licensure.

• Courses taken outside of CSSW to satisfy a minor or to count for elective credit must be first approved by the Office of Student Services via submission of the Cross-Registration Course Approval Form. Not all graduate-level courses offered at other CU schools are deemed appropriate as CSSW electives or minor courses.

Useful guidelines for successful course

registration every term (con’t)

• Faculty CANNOT authorize your enrollment into a course that is full. In other words, prior faculty approval does not permit you to be over-enrolled in a course that has reached its maximum enrollment. (Our suggestion is to check the enrollment of the class you want to take on a daily basis.)

• You may always consult with your academic advisor or staff in the Office of Advising to ensure that you are registering for your required classes.

• As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please contact swstudentservices@columbia.edu

• ONLINE sections of courses are designated by the following: the letter 'D' in the Section number and the word "online" in the course title and/or NOTES section.

• Residential students WILL NOT be permitted to register for online courses during the upcoming registration period as we must ensure that all Online Campus (OLC) students are accommodated. Any remaining space will be made available prior to the end of the add/drop period. Students will be notified via email when this option is available.

CSSW Statistics Requirement

OPTION 2: Complete T6505 Introduction to Statistics (5-week course):

• All students are required to complete this 0-credit course prior to their second year of study. In the course, students acquire the language of statistics and learn the basics of descriptive and inferential statistics. The emphasis of the course is on a conceptual understanding of basic concepts to aid in interpretation. Specific topics include descriptive statistics, standard errors, type I and type II errors, t-test, chi-square, and analysis of variance.

• Students have the option to take either one of the synchronous (live; online) sections being offered or the asynchronous section, which allows students to complete the course via pre-recorded lectures and embedded quizzes. Not sure which option is right for you? (Login requires your Columbia UNI and password.) Please follow the link for more information about the two versions of the course.
