Policies for Columbia Schools
TC is delighted to provide lessons to registered students across the University. It is up to the student, though, to determine if these lessons will count towards their degree, what the lessons will cost (if covered by tuition or not), if loans will cover lessons, and if their particular school will allow for the cross-registration.
