Can my son or daughter receive AP or IB credit? Yes. Credit from qualifying AP and IB scores can count toward your List College elective requirements. List adheres to Columbia and Barnard’s standards to determine how much AP credit to award and which AP subjects and scores are eligible for credit. You should arrange to have your AP scores sent to Columbia (Joint Program students) or Barnard (Double Degree students) for processing. A chart of AP and IB tests, scores, and credit available can be found in one of the following locations: For Joint Program students: AP Credit: http://www.gs.columbia.edu/ap-credit IB Credit: http://www.gs.columbia.edu/transfer-credit (bottom of page) For Double Degree students: AP Credit: http://www.barnard.edu/registrar/external-credit/ap IB Credit: http://barnard.edu/registrar/external-credit/ib How will I know whether my son or daughter is doing well? Grade reports are sent to students each semester. In accordance with federal law (commonly known as FERPA—Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974), copies of transcripts are generally sent only to the student at his or her permanent address. Letters informing students that they have made the Dean’s List (a minimum of 9 credits per semester with a GPA of 3.5 or better) are also sent to students. <strong>The</strong> best way to know how your son or daughter is doing is to ask him or her. Keep in mind that though we do not routinely contact parents, the List College Dean’s Office is always available to you. We urge you to keep the lines of communication open with your son or daughter during this time of transition, and we hope that you are able to share in his or her excitement as he or she moves forward on the path toward independence.

When do students register for classes? First-year students register at JTS and at Columbia/Barnard during orientation. In subsequent semesters, students will register during the preceding semester. For example, students will register for spring classes during the fall semester. When classes begin the following fall, students will be able to change their courses or confirm those courses for which they have already preregistered. How will students know about registration? In July, students will receive a registration packet via email explaining how to download all of the online registration materials. Students will be able to access complete course listings, immunization forms, schedules, faculty listings, and academic calendars. What is the registration process? 1. All students meet with the List College dean or the List College associate dean for academic advising. Students who are in the Joint Program with Columbia University will also register at Columbia. Students in the Double Degree Program with Barnard College will register and pay their Barnard charges at Barnard. Double Degree students will receive a separate bill from JTS for their charges at JTS. 2. List College advisers will register students during the orientation-week advising meetings through JTS’s online registration system. In subsequent semesters, students will be able to register online prior to their advising meeting, and advisers will then approve or help students amend course selections during the meeting. When is payment due? New students will receive “estimated bills” by July 18, 2013. All tuition and related fees for Joint program students at List College and Columbia University are paid directly to JTS. Please note that some fees, such as freshman orientation fee at Columbia, Columbia lab fees, dining hall dollars at Columbia, and other non tuition related fees, will be billed directly by Columbia University through your Columbia e-bill. Students enrolled in the double degree program with Barnard, will pay List College tuition and fees directly to JTS and Barnard tuition and fees directly to Barnard. Please keep in mind that your “final bill” may be more or less than your estimated bill, depending on how many credits you take at Columbia University. If you are not enrolling in our payment plan with Tuition Management Services (see below), full payment less expected loans and work study is due no later than August 22, 2013. All tuition and housing must be paid by August 22, 2013. Failure to make full payment will jeopardize your enrollment and access to housing. In addition, there is a late fee of $25.00 per day, up to $500.00, until the bill is paid. Back to top 10
