Important Notice for Prospective Applicants Located or Ordinarily Resident in Iran

On August 24, 2026, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) suspended several general licenses under U.S. Iran sanctions. Because of this change in federal regulation, Columbia’s legal authorization to recruit, admit, and enroll individuals who are located in Iran or who are ordinarily resident in Iran has been suspended.

Sanctions regulations law depends on specific facts about your location, residency, and immigration status. If you apply and are living outside the United States and are ordinarily resident in Iran, but are not currently located in Iran, we may reach out to request additional documentation to help us determine whether we can process your application.

We understand that these changes by the U.S. Government may be deeply frustrating for talented applicants who wish to apply for Columbia. We will continue to monitor regulatory developments closely.
