This might answer your question: [May I transfer from Columbia College… | Columbia Undergraduate Admissions](FAQs | Columbia Undergraduate Admissions).

Basically - yes, you can transfer, but there’s no guarantee that you’ll be accepted by the other school. You’ll also have to submit an application like the one when you applied to SEAS. Since you’re transferring from SEAS, you’d have to take extra classes (eg. Lit Hum) to make up for not having taken them in SEAS. As far as I know, it’s more common to switch from SEAS to CC, but the reverse has happened. The number of people who switch between schools, however, is very small, probably due to the difficulty in keeping up with each school’s requirements.
