To All Potential October 2007 Graduates:

Congratulations!  You are (hopefully) soon to be a graduate of the School of the Arts, Columbia University in the City of New York.  I thought you might have some questions about what it means to be an alum, so I’ve put together the following FAQs and their respective answers: (more…)

AN URGENT REMINDER TO THOSE OF YOU WHO PLAN TO GRADUATE IN OCTOBER 2007:

Since you are only registered for Fall 2007 Semester temporarily, pending your graduation, you should be aware that your Columbia Health Insurance will expire on August 31, 2007, and you should make arrangements for continuation of your Columbia coverage or procure alternative coverage well before that date.  

If you choose, you can continue your Columbia (Chickering) insurance after August, you will have to pay out-of-pocket, and the prices are much higher than the student rate you’re used to paying.    Information on continuation insurance through Columbia can be found here.

You may also wish to do some comparison shopping with outside organizations like:

• the Freelancer’s Union (http://www.freelancersunion.org),
• the Actors Fund (http://www.actorsfund.org/),
• Fractured Atlas (http://www.fracturedatlas.org) or
• the National Writers Union (http://www.nwu.org ).
  

If you would like information on continuing your Columbia coverage, please contact Health Services at (212) 854-7210, or stop by the Health Services Office on the 4th Floor of John Jay Hall.  Continuation information is also available on their web site at http://www.health.columbia.edu.

This Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) list is designed to help SoA students make the transition from coursework into what we call “Research Arts” status.

From personal works to assignments to scholarship & grant applications, artists write.   Sometimes, it’s helpful to have another set of eyes to help copy-edit and review what you’ve written.

Did you know that Columbia University offers a free-to-students center for just such a purpose?  The Columbia University Writing Center, part of the Undergraduate Writing Program (UWP), is designed to help students develop their writing, from nearly-completed works to works-in progress to scholarship and grant applications.
