Registration Tools
For Columbia Students in TC Courses
· Review the TC schedule for important course information. You will need the five-digit call number (referred to as a CRN on TC’s web site) to register, so please make a note of it. Also be aware that CU students must obtain instructor’s approval to register for any TC course. Contact instructors individually to secure written, signed approval. If you are unable to reach an instructor directly, you should try contacting the academic department office.
· Follow the cross-registration procedures developed by your home school.
· Your home school and/or Columbia’s Student Financial Services will handle billing and payment for Teachers College courses.
· Your home school will forward your registration data to TC electronically so that it can be entered in TC’s information system. The data transfer typically occurs within 24 hours of your initial registration at your home school.
· Access to online course content:
- Two or three business days after your initial registration, you should be able to access online course content at the following web site: http://cw.tc.columbia.edu/prometheus. Use your Columbia University UNI and your UNI password to log on. Remember that your UNI is the first part of your Columbia e-mail address, preceding the “@” (e.g., zxq1234@columbia.edu).
- If you cannot access online content after three business days, please take the following steps to troubleshoot:
- Check with your home institution to ensure that you are properly registered.
- If you are registered at your home institution and still cannot access online course content, please ask that your school’s Registrar verify your registration with TC’s Registrar.
- If you have received confirmation that your enrollment is correct in both TC’s database and in that of your home school, please e-mail TC’s Registrar at registrar@tc.edu. In your e-mail, be sure to include your UNI, name, and the CRN and name of the TC course for which you registered. We will initiate an inquiry with our Academic Computing Department.
- If you have successfully accessed online course content but need help with navigation, please visit the following web site: http://library.tc.columbia.edu/course_students.php.
- We recommend that you check your Columbia University e-mail account at least once a day or to have your Columbia mail forwarded to an external account that you do check daily. TC instructors use Columbia e-mail to communicate with students, and you can miss out on important course information if you do not retrieve messages from your Columbia account often enough.
· Course grades: Your instructor will report your grade to the Registrar at TC. We will then forward that grade to the University Registrar near the end of each semester as the grades come to us.
