Dear EPD students,
We hope you're having a relaxing fall break. This message contains important information about spring EPD courses so please read in its entirety.
Since registration for spring 2023 courses will begin on Monday 11/14 and you will soon be making plans, we would like to inform you about EPD core and elective courses offered in the coming semester, and alert you to a couple of registration updates in some of our courses.
There are four EPD courses where EPD students will receive priority in registration until Friday 12/16. These include:

We encourage any EPD student interested in taking one of these courses to register as soon as registration opens on Monday 11/14 to secure a spot. The priority for EPD students will end on 12/16 and registration will open to ALL SIPA students on 12/17.
We have updated our EPD professional development focus area course lists with new options and listed them below. To see a complete list of professional focus area courses offered this spring 2023, click here.
Lastly, students planning to graduate in May 2023 should read carefully our note about reviewing their EPD concentration plans in Stellic at the bottom of this message.

Attention May 2023 Graduates: Review Your EPD Concentration Audit Plan in Stellic
This message is for students who plan to graduate in May 2023. Please read carefully.
EPD will use Stellic to approve your concentration audit plans and to confirm you have fulfilled all EPD requirements for graduation. To make sure that you are on track to meet your EPD requirements for graduation, we ask that you log in to Stellic at https://columbia.stellic.com, and carefully review your EPD profile before you start registering for spring courses. If you have yet to fulfill a specific EPD requirement, be sure to plan accordingly.
Each student expecting to graduate in May 2023 must finalize their EPD audit plan in Stellic by Friday, 1/20/2023. EPD will then confirm that your plan has been approved and that you are expected to complete all concentration requirements.
Additional instructions:
o If you received approval for a course substitution for an EPD requirement but it is not yet reflected in your profile, forward your approval confirmation email to Ilona Vinklerova (iv2105) and she will adjust your Stellic profile.
o Students who would like to count a course that hasn’t been approved for EPD can submit a request to Ilona Vinklerova (iv2105) for the course to be considered. They should email her the course syllabus and specify which requirement they wish to count it for. In general, a course to be approved for EPD must focus on issues in developing countries and/or emerging markets. Note that the EPD double counting policy would still apply here. We ask that you allow for three business days to receive a reply.
o If you are an MPA-EPD student, you must also fulfill the MIA language requirement and prove language proficiency in a language other than English. Students can fulfill the language requirement with any modern language offered by Columbia University language programs or the Language Resource Center. This requirement can be met in one of the three ways listed here. Please make sure to speak with your advising dean if this applies to you.
We urge you not to wait until the last minute to review your Stellic profile. Allow yourself enough time to sort out any pending requirements.
If you have any questions, please let us know.
