Business School
The Columbia University Business School has instituted an online application system for students interested in cross-registration. Cross-registration applications will be accepted from 10AM on Thursday, January 24th through 10AM on Monday, January 28th. The website will not be active outside of this window.
Application website: http://www0.gsb.columbia.edu/crossreg/
Course Listings: Spring 2013
Full-term courses begin on January 29, 2013
Session A courses begin on January 29, 2013
Session B courses begin February 25, 2013
1. Only seats with appropriate open capacity will be made available for cross-registration. If a course is not made available to cross-registrants through the online application form, there is no other form of appeal to gain access to the course.
2. Students may apply to a maximum of 3 courses. Cross-registrants will not be awarded more than 3 credits of business school courses per semester and no more than twelve credits during their tenure at Columbia University.
3. Requests will be processed in the order they are received, on a first-come, first-served basis. Adjustments made to a student’s request will affect his/her place in line.
4. Email notifications about courses earned will be sent between the afternoon of 1/28 and will be completed by Friday, February 1st. Every effort will be made to notify students in a timely manner; students will be contacted if they do not receive a seat in a course.
5. All prerequisites will be enforced.
Note: B6302 - Capital Markets & Investments is a prerequisite for most finance courses. IEOR E4721 Global Capital Markets taken at the School of Engineering, or INAF U6023 Capital Markets taken at SIPA, will be accepted as a substitute for all coursework that has B6302 Capital Markets as a prerequisite. Also, SIPA's INAF U6045 International Capital Markets and INAF U6022 Economics of Finance taken together fulfill the Business School's prerequisite of B6302 Capital Markets. For Business School courses that list B6302 Capital Markets as a co-requisite, one class (U6045 or U6022) should already have been taken and the other class should be taken concurrently with the B-School class requiring the B6302 Capital markets co-requisite. All other stated prerequisites have to have been taken at the Business School. There is no other form of appeal for cross-registrants; faculty or academic divisions will not grant appeals to waive these prerequisites. Students who feel they have the appropriate background may take the Capital Markets exemption exam, offered January 8-23. Exemption results will be announced no later than Tuesday, January 29th at 10:00 am. For questions about Exemption Exams (but not general cross-registration questions), please email exemptions@gsb.columbia.edu.
6. To drop a business class: You must notify both the GSAPP Office of Admissions and Student Affairs and the Business School’s Office of Student Affairs (osa@gsb.columbia.edu). For Full-term and Session A courses, students may drop courses up until February 7th. After that date, they may withdraw (with a notation of W on their transcript) until February 21st. For Session B courses, students may drop courses up until March 30th. After that date, they may withdraw up until April 12th.
7. Note that non-Business School students will receive traditional letter grades (A, B, C, D, F) for courses taken at the Business School. Also, the Business School follows a slightly different academic calendar than most of the University. Students should review the School's calendar to ensure they meet required course and exam dates.
