	Once your degree application has been entered by the registrar, the status in SSOL will change to "Submitted," clearing you to participate in Class Day and University Commencement.

Submit Your Degree Application by This Thursday (Dec. 1)

If you haven't submitted your degree application (PDF), be sure to do this on or before Thursday, December 1. Send it as an attachment to diplomas@columbia.edu or bring a printed copy to the Student Service Center in 205 Kent Hall.

Only students whose degree application status is "Submitted" in SSOL (under Degree App Status in the menu), who graduated in October 2016 or February 2017, or who have made a special request to their CSA adviser will receive graduation information in the spring.

Today: Take Part in #GivingTuesday with Senior Fund

Join the movement by giving back! The Senior Fund Committee invites you to make your gift to support financial aid, the Core Curriculum, student services, and summer internships. Let’s come together as a community and start the holiday season off right.

January: Reserve Your Yearbook

Reserve your copy of the Columbian beginning this January, so you can revisit Columbia traditions and campus events, class trips, senior portraits, the excitement of NYC, and the West Side neighborhood you called home for four years in one 256-full-color page, beautifully bound yearbook!

February: Schedule Your Senior Portrait Session

Senior portrait sessions will resume in February, and options will be announced once locations are confirmed. In addition to being featured in the Columbian, senior portraits are also useful for professional networking and on job search sites. A cap and gown will be provided for the sitting.

March: Register for University Commencement

University Commencement registration will open in late March. Students eligible to register will receive an emailed invitation from GradZone with instructions. Through the registration process, you'll also be able to request tickets for your guests.

Who receives GradZone? In the fall semester, recipients are identified by a report that takes into account students' year of entry at Columbia, year of standing, and current number of credits attempted and earned. In the spring semester, only students who have applied for their degree or graduated the previous October or February will receive GradZone.

Want to unsubscribe? We don't have an option for that yet, but you won't receive any more emails in the spring semester if you do not submit a degree application to the registrar this December.

Want to subscribe? If a friend forwarded you this newsletter, check your spam mailbox and, if you don't use LionMail as your primary email account, your forwarding settings and allowed senders. Next, review your standing in SSOL and check with your CSA adviser to make sure all your records are up to date.
