Frequently Asked Questions

Answers

Is there a fee to attend an event?

No, all events sponsored by UPE are free. TOP

I am on the waitlist for an event. What does this mean?

The event you have selected is full. However, by being on the waitlist you have the opportunity to register if there are cancellations. You will be notified via e-mail if space becomes available. TOP

How can I cancel my event registration?

If you are registered for an event and can no longer attend, it is important to cancel your registration and give others the opportunity to attend. Please refer to your event confirmation e-mail to cancel your registration. In the confirmation e-mail you will find a link with directions on how to cancel. If you do not have your confirmation e-mail, please send an e-mail to universityprograms@columbia.edu. TOP

Can I register for more than one person at a time?

No, each guest must register individually. TOP

If I am not affiliated with Columbia, can I still register for an event?

Most events are open to the public. Online registration is required to attend each event and only guests on the registration list with a photo ID will be admitted. Some events are only open to the Columbia community and require a UNI (University Network ID) to register. TOP

Will I need to bring my e-mail confirmation with me to the event?

No, the confirmation e-mail does not serve as a ticket for admission to the event. You will be admitted only if your name appears on the event's registration list and you bring a photo ID. TOP

How do I find out what my UNI is?

Every Columbia University student, faculty member, permanent staff member and alumni has a unique identifier consisting of their initials plus an arbitrary number. Please visit http://uni.columbia.edu/ to look up your UNI, activate your UNI, or get information on how to have your password reset. If you are still having trouble, visit http://www.columbia.edu/acis/support/. TOP
