Registration Period - November 18-22: meet with your advisor and register during your assigned time, beginning on Wednesday 11/20/2024 for sophomores

 As a reminder, you are encouraged to meet with your advisor before your first assigned registration time. You will be able to plan courses, but you will not be able to register until the Nov 18 - Nov 22 registration week

Haven't met with your adviser yet?  Contact them to set up an appointment.

To register for spring courses during the week of Nov. 18 - Nov. 22:

• Be sure you have met with your adviser, and that you know what to register for.

• Be sure you have planned (yellow) your preferred Spring courses in Student Planning so they'll be ready to go when your registration time begins.

• Log into the Barnard Portal and find your registration times and check for holds (Academics tab --> Planning Your Courses --> Registration Appointments & Holds).  
  

• Resolve any holds before registration week, so nothing gets in your way!
  

• Log into Student Planning as soon as your first registration time begins on Wednesday 11/20, and no later than the end of your last registration time on Friday 11/22, and click the blue "REGISTER" button on the upper right.  

• Unless a course has note informing you of special registration procedures (application, writing sample, audition, must attend first class to confirm, etc.), you will be registered for any course that shows up in green on your schedule.

• Many courses will initially waitlist all students (e.g. Organic Chemistry I, Bio 1502). If you aren't able to add a class, add yourself to the waiting list and/or select a "Plan B" option.

• NOTE: You must be fully registered (green) for at least 12 credits by the end of Early Registration week, or you may be charged late fees.  There will be additional add/drop times in the coming weeks and months, along with the customary final "shopping" period at the beginning of the spring semester.
  

• Also note: you can register for no more than 19 credits at this stage; permission for over 19 credits is not possible until the start of the new semester.
  

Questions?  Meet with your adviser or a dean.

Planning ahead for winter break 2024-2025?  The Columbia University Projected Final Exam Schedule is here to help. Days and times are accurate; the only difference between the "projected" exam schedule and the full schedule is that the latter will also show exam locations.

The detailed, class-by-class list for both Columbia and Barnard classes should become available online after midterms

Note the following instructions regarding exam conflicts or exam hardship for Barnard students:

Students will occasionally have two exams scheduled for the same time. If you have exam conflict (two exams at the same time) or exam hardship (defined as three exams within a 24-hour period or four exams within a 48-hour period), please fill out this form.

Examinations are not rescheduled to accommodate travel plans.

My course doesn't have a P/D/F option in SSOL! Does that mean I can't take it p/d/f????

 

DON'T WORRY! If you can't elect p/d/f in SSOL, you can use this Slate form to do it!

The rules governing p/d/f are on this Registrar website.

How do I withdraw from a class (now that the drop deadline has passed)???

The Deadline to Withdraw from a fall class is Thursday, November 14. 

Withdrawn classes will not affect your GPA and you will not earn credit for them, but they will remain on your transcript, and a W will be entered place of the final grade. 

Note: You may not withdraw from a class if doing so would leave you with fewer than 12 credits.

 To withdraw from a class, use this online form, following these steps:

1. Consult with your adviser.

2. Get an email from your adviser confirming they approve you to withdraw from this specific class.

3. Download that email as a PDF or save a screenshot of it.

4. Complete and submit the online W form, uploading your adviser’s confirmation email when prompted to do so.

5. You will receive an email confirmation once your W request is processed, ordinarily within two business days. 

Black @ Barnard Focus Groups

2025 celebrates 100 years of Black students at Barnard with the matriculation of Zora Neale Hurston in 1925. The Office of DEI is organizing focus groups to hear from you on exactly what it means to be a Black student at Barnard. Our intention is to gain understanding of existing avenues of support, how they can be improved, and what needs you may have that are not being met. We would like to learn what you are hoping to experience during the ZNH centennial celebrations from 2025-2028, and what you want to take away from them. Finally, we would love your insight into what you believe is the future of the Black student experience at Barnard. 

If you are interested in being a part of this process, please register here. Additionally, we ask that you complete this When2Meet to assist us with scheduling focus groups in September and October. Participants will receive a $15 gift card from a local Black-owned business. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please email dei@barnard.edu
