How do I go about sending a voicemail to all students? How much will this cost?

SDA has voicemail request forms that must be submitted to Communications Services at least five working days in advance of your message distribution. The cost is $375.

How can I obtain a list of vendors that accept e-forms as a method of payment?

The vendor list is updated yearly and details all businesses and companies that will accept an eform in lieu of cash/check/or credit card. SDA encourages all groups to take advantage of these vendors (many of which are in the neighborhood). The list is located in the SDA on the 5th floor.

Where can I find kosher food?

Barnard Dining Services provides kosher catering. They can be reached at 212-854-6653. In addition, there are several kosher caterers on the Upper West Side. Ask your adviser for specifics.

Where can I find a vendor for customized give-a-ways, posters for cultural months, etc?

SDA has many resources available to your organization. You can stop by and visit your adviser to look through various catalogues and give-a-way books.

Who makes those cool banners hanging in Lerner? How can I have mine hung?

Student organizations work with a wide variety of vendors. C2Media is currently one of the partners working on banners and other print materials.

The speaker for my organization’s event is arriving by car. Can I arrange for temporary parking on College Walk?

You can try, but parking is very hard to come by at Columbia. SDA has parking request forms that must be filled out and faxed to the parking office. You will need to know the make, model and color of the vehicle, the license plate number and state, the driver’s name, and the expected arrival and departure times. Remember to confirm the cost, budget for the expense and fill out an e-form.

How long does it take to process a check?

It can take anywhere from two weeks to a month, depending on the time of year and whether the University has previously paid the vendor.
