Financial Aid Officers are happy to discuss your financial aid eligibility and to answer questions you may have about educational financing. Please use this form to request an Appointment (both Virtual and In-Person) with a Financial Aid Officer. ***As of 4/30/24, our office is operating remotely per the University's instruction. Please note that we are unable to offer in-person appointments or walk-ins at this time. Virtual appointment requests, emails to ugrad-finaid@columbia.edu, and phone calls are still operating as they normally would. We will update this page and our Contact Us page to remove this message when we are back to operating in-person.***

Please note the following:

  • Virtual appointments are only for admitted and current undergraduate students of Columbia College and The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science.
  • For students who would like to appeal their aid offer, please see our appeal section.
  • All appointments will be scheduled for 15 minutes.
  • All times are Eastern Time or Eastern Daylight Time.
  • Virtual appointments cannot be scheduled for the current day.
  • Appointments are not scheduled until you receive a confirmation e-mail.
  • If you have any additional information or inquiries you would like to discuss after submitting your request, please feel free to address them in your appointment once confirmed rather than submitting a new request.
  • Virtual appointments will be held through Zoom Meetings. For the best experience, download the Zoom Meetings software on your computer or the Zoom App on your smartphone.
