* Because the pre-registration occurs before the end of the spring semester, there are occasions when the online catalog either does not accurately list all the information about a future course, or no longer displays the courses that are still going on. The instructor names and class room assignments in the catalog will always only reflect what is in the Columbia on-line Directory of Classes ("University Pencilbook") in the current semester for any given course number and may not match the course description for the fall.
To avoid confusion during these overlap periods, we try to add notes into the course descriptions themselves specifying the semester or year if the information for a course is going to be changing. We also post all the catalog information for the current year before the spring semester is over. You can find it under most recent year under our "Past Offerings" in the menu on the left.
