The Division of Student Affairs is the primary administrative umbrella for undergraduates at Columbia. Student Affairs oversees pretty much all non-academic aspects of student life for CC and SEAS students. Some of the many operations Student Affairs oversees include Admissions, Financial Aid, Residential Programming, Advising, etc.

Student Affairs is the way in which the gap between CC and SEAS is bridged, since they're ultimately separate schools, academically. Creating a united student administration for both schools helps ensure that students in both schools are essentially part of the same student body who live together, eat together, and work together. This also keeps the bureaucracy from getting too messy by eliminating the need for redundant and parallel offices providing the same services to students at each school.

Student Affairs is composed of the following offices:

  • Office of Undergraduate Admissions
  • Office of Financial Aid and Educational Financing
  • Office of Multicultural Affairs
  • Office of Pre-Professional Advising
  • Office of Residential Programs
  • Scholars Program
  • Student Development and Activities
  • Fellowships Office
  • Academic Success Programs
  • Office of Parent/Family Programs
  • Academic Advising Offices (FYSAAC and JSAC)

Student affairs also creates Student-Alumni programming, offers access to tutoring services, runs NSOP
