Closed for the storm COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY - SIPA Admissions Blog Snowmageddon 2015  is making its way to Columbia University, and Alma is ready for it.  However, the rest of us arent 10 feet tall and made of bronze.  Thus, SIPAs  Office of Admissions and Financial Aid is closed at 3 p.m. on Monday, January 26, and all day on Tuesday, January 27. We  expect  to resume normal operations on Wednesday, January 28.
