Offices and student organizations may submit program information for events geared towards new students after the conclusion of NSOP which ends on Monday, September 2, 2013. This information will be included in the Extended Orientation part of the NSOP Schedule Book and the mobile Guidebook app used during orientation. Please submit this information by Monday, June 17, 2013.

As a reminder, please utilize language, if appropriate, that is geared towards all new students, so that first-years, transfer, visiting, and combined plan students know that they are welcome.

Below is the common financial aid application for the Columbia Urban Experience, Columbia Outdoor Orientation Program, and the International Student Orientation Program.

If you are applying to more than one pre-orientation program, you only have to fill out this form once. Information will be shared with all three pre-orientation programs.

As a reminder, all of the pre-orientation programs are need-blind. However, we do work with your school's financial aid office to help determine your need. 

Columbia Outdoor Orientation Program (COÖP) Application Section

Thanks for applying to COÖP! 

To better ensure fair access, COÖP places all applicants into a lottery. After applying, if you are selected through the lottery, your position is secured upon payment for your trip. If you are not selected through the lottery, you are placed on a waiting list.

All applicants will find out their acceptance by the end of June.

We are currently accepting applications for a Wait List. We will reach out to you in the summer if we need to fill vacated positions.  Please log-in using your Uni and password.  All BC, CC, and SEAS students should be able to log into the system. The log-in is located in the upper right hand corner of this page. If you have any questions, please email the NSOP Staff.
