Trying to familiarize yourself with Columbia, but finding yourself overwhelmed by a barrage of new terms? Not to worry! Bwog is here to break down the essential vocabulary you should know before starting your first semester.

For the first-years, transfers, and the rest of us who will be finalizing course registration in the early fall, here’s a quick guide to smart course decision-making.

Yes, this post is about how I’m procrastinating on the homework I haven’t done for section tomorrow. 

Columbia releases more details about course modalities and registration for Spring 2021.

Columbia University has pushed back registration times to allow more time for the school to finalize spring 2021 semester plans.

Today was registration day for the class of 2023, and many Barnard first-years found themselves unable to register for their required First-Year Seminar (FYS) or First-Year Writing (FYW) classes.

Who else can’t believe registration begins tomorrow?? Instead of clicking through Wikipedia pages about different dog breeds, we decided to procrastinate our pile of homework by compiling last year’s seniors’ favorite classes as mentioned in their Senior Wisdoms. Scroll through for potential electives, major credits, or at the very least, a good core professor. Course titles are bolded; […]

As spring semester comes to a close, it’s time to register for fall classes! Here’s a reminder that registration for fall 2017 classes starts today. Check SSOL to see when your registration time is, then be sure to log on right then so you get a good pick. May the odds be ever in your […]

Who else is done with this current semester? With finals looming and those pesky papers in the backs of everyone’s minds, look forward to a new semester with a whole new group of classes to later cry over. Today marks the first day of L-course Signup and Registration for the spring, so those of you who have their […]

That’s right, today’s the day: registration for the fall 2016 semester officially starts now. Ready the list you’ve been preparing since February, check CULPA to see if any new reviews popped up, and open the page you bookmarked during NSOP – or, if you’re like us, scroll through a department at random looking for professors […]

Registration has never been particularly kind to the Creative Writing Department. Students apply for workshops right before the semester starts and have to get an Add/Drop form signed and brought to Kent, conveniently right downstairs from CW classes! the CSA. It’s not uncommon to hear complaints of a $15 “late registration” fee charged on top of tuition […]

In case you haven’t checked your email since the last day of finals, a new registration window for spring classes opens tomorrow. From January 8th through January 11th and from January 14th through January 18th, you’ll be able to search for a better Music Hum time slot and reconsider that Renaissance art seminar you were […]

It’s the first day of registration for freshmen, which means panic, confusion, and a lot fiddling around with color-coded iCal prototypes. If this describes you, take a deep breath. Log on to SSOL, and check your appointment time. It’s going to be okay(ish). The following are resources that’ll help you out as you plan your […]

Update: And we’re back! Go forth and choose. The bulletin is down for everyone. Or at least for us. At least you have another few minutes to choose between Medieval Literature and that Beginning Fiction workshop you decided on spontaneously. Sad faces all around.   panda not registering via Wikimedia
