The School of International & Public Affairs will completely transition all courses to New CourseWorks for the start of Spring Term. This, coupled with several SIPA instructors migrating early during Fall Term to pioneer the transition, is making for exciting times as this transition continues to gather steam. Watch for more transition news at this site.
The next scheduled upgrade to New CourseWorks will be happening on December 29, 2011. This is a major system upgrade required to prepare the system to transition Schools for Spring Term 2012.
The system will be unavailable the entire day from 8:00 AM until 8:00 PM on December 29, 2011.
INSTRUCTORS PLEASE NOTE: If you are currently using the GradeBook tool in New CourseWorks system or require access to other tools for determining student grades, please ensure you access the system prior to December 29th to meet your Registrar Office grade submission deadline.
Exciting news! The shift from Courseworks to New Courseworks is moving along faster than expected!
Originally, the move was scheduled to take place over four academic terms, ending in the fall of 2013. However, over one third of all courses at Columbia are already being hosted in New Courseworks. If your instructors haven’t started using it yet, you can look forward to seeing the new system very soon!

Columbia University’s New CourseWorks system is now hosting OVER 1,200 Fall Term 2011 course sites!
Our initial goals were to transition 800 courses to the new system for Fall term, which came from the move of the four medical center schools and Social Works, plus three Arts & Sciences departments.
But the bigger jump came via early adopters (requests from instructors opting into New CourseWorks) ahead of their school or department’s planned transition term.
With another major transition on tap for the start of Spring Term 2012, New CourseWorks will be hosting the majority of courses as we continue down our transition path to retire the existing CourseWorks system.
