Registration: How do I add/drop a D&I course from my schedule?

During open add/drop periods in OASIS, please follow the steps below. Add/drops will not be available when a lottery is in session.

If adding a self-arranged elective (research, preceptorship, away, or Global Health), please refer to the appropriate articles under the Electives Knowledgebase, here: http://psofficeofed.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/topics/105393-electives.

To Add a Course
1. Go to OASIS (https://oasis.cumc.columbia.edu/). 
2. Click the "Add Course" tab.


3. Search the catalog. You can filter by Department and other search criteria.


4. Click "Add" under the Actions column.


5. Select the appropriate start date, and click "Add Selected Course."

**OASIS will not allow you to add two courses to the same month. Therefore, if you are already registered for something in March 2016, for example, you will not be able to add the course used in the screenshot above. You will need to DROP the current course you have for March, and then come back to this process to add something else.

**OASIS will not allow you to add the same course twice.
Therefore, if you are trying to switch which month you are taking a course, you will need to drop it first, then complete the process above to add it.

**OASIS will not allow you to add/drop a course within 28 days of the rotation.
This is a rule set up to mirror the 4 Week Policy. Please go to our article about add/drops within 4 weeks for more information.


To Drop a Course

1. Go to OASIS (https://oasis.cumc.columbia.edu/).   
2. Go to your schedule.
3. Click "Drop" by the course you want to remove, under the Actions column.
