SNAP is the central point of contact for colleges, schools and other units on the Columbia campus to make space requests. The SNAP committee reviews requests, identifies possible solutions and make recommendations to the Advisory Committee on Finance and Budget, which makes the decision whether to grant the request.
Instructions for making a space request are provided below. If you wish to report a classroom problem, please see Classroom Enhancement and Scheduling.
