Student Financial Services

Student Financial Services in partnership with the Center for Student Success can help students answer all financial questions including, setting up payment plans, finding scholarships, understanding financial assistance, and more. Drop in for consultations, schedule an appointment, or email the team for assistance.

All undergraduate students are assigned an academic advisor based on their declared major. Advisors can assist students with developing a graduation plan, registering for classes, changing majors or declaring a minor, and reviewing graduation progress audits. The advisors work closely with faculty to help students fulfill their academic goals.

The Office of Student Belonging and Persistence (SBP) is located on the 4th floor of 618 S. Michigan Ave. and is part of Columbia’s Student Success Team. The SBP team is committed to supporting students as they navigate college life, build community, and develop their personal and social identities. Through workshops, programs, and one-on-one appointments, held both in SBP and in the Center for Student Success, SBP staff create opportunities for students to connect, grow, and thrive at Columbia.

The Center for Student Success helps students reach their goals by addressing barriers to degree completion and providing outreach related to Student Success Alerts and Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). Our team takes a holistic approach by helping students understand their academic standing, address barriers to degree completion, and connect with resources that support their overall well-being.
