Office of Parent and Family Programs

For Families of Incoming Students

The Office of Parent and Family Programs recognizes that this is a transitional time for your family as you adapt to having a student at Columbia. Information is provided below to help make this transition a smooth one. (Note that the majority of this information was also included in a mailing to new families in mid-June).

If you have any questions, please send an e-mail to the Office of Parent and Family Programs at fpse@columbia.edu. Welcome to the Columbia Community!
