GradZone: (n) (grad' zon)

1. A monthly newsletter sent to graduating CC and SEAS students during the academic year (fall-spring) to help them complete the tasks necessary to graduate and stay in the know about Class Day and University Commencement. Families of graduates will also receive monthly graduation-related emails.

2. A website with the most current Class Day and University Commencement information for graduating CC and SEAS undergraduates and their families.

Get Ready for Senior Year!

You may be wondering, "Whoa! Isn't it a little early for this? Senior year hasn't officially begun!"

Well, there's a lot to cover, and we wanted to give you a heads-up to let you know you'll be hearing from us regularly throughout the next year, and that there's a GradZone website available to answer many of your questions.

You are receiving this GradZone newsletter because you are a CC or SEAS student who has just completed the third year of your undergraduate career, according to Columbia University records. Know someone who didn't get this email who should have? Let us know!

News & Announcements

Are You on Track to Graduate?

This is probably the biggest question you have. Visit our senior year checklist, and meet with BOTH your academic department adviser and your CSA adviser when you return to campus to find out.

You Must Apply for Your Degree

We'll make this easy for you. The CSA and class council host a fun event (really!) in the fall where you can knock this form out of the way. In all seriousness, it will make the rest of your senior year just a little bit easier.

Difference Between Class Day and Commencement

Want to know at which ceremony you get to walk across the stage and at which ceremony your degree will actually be conferred? Trying to explain the difference between Class Day and Commencement to your family? Here's the info you need.

Get Your Senior Portrait Taken for the Columbia Yearbook

Want to be in the Columbian yearbook for 2015? Senior portraits happen mostly in the fall, although there will be some sessions offered in the spring. Also, think about joining the yearbook staff to help preserve your memories. Details to come later.
