Registration Round 2: What's new?

We are excited to welcome you to campus, Barnard Class of 2029! 

As you know, registration will re-open for you on Vergil at the end of NSOP, on Friday, August 29th.  During this registration period, certain Columbia classes that were not available for registration in July will be available for registration on Vergil.  If there is space available in a class that appears in the list below, you are welcome to register for it directly.  If the class is full, and running a waitlist, you may certainly join that waitlist and see what happens during the first two weeks of term.  As there are no guarantees that a space will become available in a full course, it would be wise to have a plan B. 


  1. A class for a language or level of language not offered at Barnard 

  2. Musical instrument instruction

  3. Introductory courses in the following majors  

Computer Science:

  • COMS W1004 Introduction to Computer Science

  • COMS W3134 Data Structures in Java

  • COMS W3157 Advanced Programming

Environmental Science:

  • EESCUN 2100 Earth’s Environmental Systems: Climate Systems

  • EESCUN 2200 Earth’s Environmental Systems: Solid Earth

  • SDEV UN2300 Challenges of Sustainable Environment

Mathematics:

  • MATH UN1205 Accelerated Multivariable Calculus

  • MATH UN1207 Honors Math A

  • MATH UN1208 Honors Math B

Statistics:

  • STAT UN1101 Introduction to Statistics 

  • STAT UN1201 Introduction to Calculus-based Statistics 


Exceptions to this list are unlikely to be approved.  If you have a compelling case for one, please speak with an adviser during NSOP (or with your assigned pre-major adviser after NSOP) about the petition process.  And again – have a back-up plan.
