Please bring your extra tickets to the Office of Student Affairs and we can add them to the lottery for students who want additional tickets.  Alternately, check with a friend or classmate to see if they can use an extra ticket.

If I already completed my coursework in December am I still eligible to participate in the Recognition and Commencement Ceremonies? What about if I won't complete my MBA credits until this August?

Our policy is that only students who have completed their MBA credits by May 2013 are eligible to participate in the Recognition and Commencement Ceremonies. Therefore, if you completed your credits in December 2012, you are eligible to participate. You also must complete the information requested on Your To-Do List. To get your diploma, please make sure your diploma and recognition applications are completed online.  If you have questions about your eligibility for the ceremony please contact the Office of Student Affairs at OSA@gsb.columbia.edu.

Do I have access to the library and Career Resources Center after graduation?

We encourage all graduates to get an alumni ID soon after graduation in order to gain access to the library system. This same alumni ID will allow you access to the Career Resources Center for life. 

For more detailed information on library access and to obtain an alumni ID, please visit this site. To access the Business and Economics Library, please visit Business Information Resources for Columbia Alumni.
