Student Affairs To-Do Items for EMBA-NY Saturday

On This Page

 

Complete University and New York State-Mandated Immunization Documentation Requirements

Deadline: Friday, April 4, 2025
Average Time to Complete: One Month
Processing Time Once Submitted: 2 weeks to 2 months

Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) Vaccine & Meningitis Decision

New York State public health law requires that all students document immunity to Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR), as well as document that they have either received the Meningitis vaccine or have declined to receive it. Failure to comply will prevent matriculation into the EMBA program; to be stated even more clearly, Columbia University will not recognize you as a student unless these requirements have been satisfied. It often takes time to locate childhood MMR vaccination records, making it imperative you begin this process now. If you know already that finding the records will be difficult, schedule a titer test to prove immunity or even better start a new round of the 2-dose MMR vaccine this week.

Records should be uploaded to the Columbia Health Patient Portal by Friday, April 4. Detailed information on the MMR immunization requirement can be found here. Please allow at least 15 business days for the Immunization Compliance Office for processing. 

Mandatory Immunization Documentation

  1. MMR: New York State public health law requires that all students document immunity to Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR).
  2. Meningitis (MenACWY) or Certified Decision: New York State public health law requires documentation of immunity to Meningitis or a certified decision stating intent to vaccinate or declination of vaccination.  

Please note that submitting all immunizations is a mandatory component of your application, and non-compliance will force a hold on your University registration.

For detailed information on these immunization requirements, including ways to document MMR immunity, please refer to the University's Health Services site at: https://health.columbia.edu/content/immunization-requirements. If you have any questions or issues, please contact the Immunization Compliance Office at [email protected] or 212-854-7210.

Complete the Columbia University Team Role Inventory (CUTRI)

Deadline: Friday, April 11, 2025

Based upon the research of Dr. Meredith Belbin, the Columbia University Team Roles Inventory (CUTRI) is a proprietary behavioral assessment tool that identifies patterns of behavior characteristic of the way in which you interact with other team members. It helps uncover the ways in which your performance serves to facilitate the progress of the team as a whole. We will review the results as part of New Student Orientation where you will also be introduced to your learning teams.  The assessment will be used to form your learning teams to help foster high-functioning and effective group work during your academic journey. Please follow the link below to complete the CUTRI.

Submit Preferred Pronouns Using NameCoach (Optional)

Deadline: Friday, April 25, 2025

Columbia Business School offers all students the option to add pronouns and name pronunciation to Canvas using the NameCoach tool. This effort is part of the Pronouns in Use pilot program in partnership with the Office of University Life.

Selecting your pronouns and/or recording the pronunciation of your name is optional. If you opt to select your pronouns and/or record your name using the NameCoach tool in Canvas, this information will be visible to faculty and fellow students. We encourage all faculty and students to review the NameCoach section for their courses, as using students' pronouns and name pronunciation will help to enhance inclusion and the sense of belonging on campus.

NOTE: UNI MUST BE ACTIVATED FIRST

Please find instructions at this link on using NameCoach in Canvas.

To find out more about Pronouns in Use at Columbia, please visit the Pronouns in Use website. (Please note that this resource references CourseWorks, which is synonymous with Canvas.)
