Welcome Back!
If you were previously enrolled at Columbia and paused your studies for more than two semesters (not counting Summer), then you're considered a returning student.
If your break from Columbia was less than two semesters, please contact Columbia Central at columbiacentral@colum.edu or 312-369-7140 for information about re-enrolling.
To re-enroll as a Columbia student:
