Fall 2022 NEW students: you do not need to submit anything before we schedule your individual advising appointment. Once you confirm your fall courses, you can submit your completed registration worksheet. New student registration is May 23rd at 9am.
To get cleared to register, submit your registration worksheet. Have the following information available:
Your unofficial transcript or Degree Progress Report (to see what core classes you have taken) - only for continuing students

If you work full time – take only 3 or 6 credits
If you work 20-30 hours – take 6 or 9 credits at the most
If you are NOT working – you should be able to handle a full 9 credit load.
Please DO NOT take more than 12 credits
Full-time study is 9 credits as of Fall 2020. Part-time study is 4.5 credits as of Fall 2020.
We STRONGLY encourage students to go to school part-time if possible, and pursue work opportunities in the field (internships, fellowships, etc). These opportunities are not for credit, but valuable for experience.
Current Research (incoming students only)
Food Systems
Food Policy

Research Applications (1 & 2 semester options available--only to be taken in your final semesters)
If you applied for full-time financial aid, you must take 9 credits. If you decide to lighten your academic load, then you need to contact financial aid and request a part-time loan. Failure to notify the Office of Financial Aid of the change may cause you to lose your package.
If you applied for part-time financial aid, you must take at least 4.5 credits.
If you are registering for your final semester and taking fewer than 4.5 credits and need financial aid, you can complete the part-time or full-time equivalency form. For international students, if you are taking fewer than 9 credits (full-time), you should apply with OGS for reduced study. Read more in the NFS Grad Student Handbook! Remember: you need to be logged into your NYU account to access the Student Handbook.
If you plan on taking courses outside of Food Studies, you must contact an advisor in that program for approval to register (Stern and Wagner have their own processes). Food Studies advisors cannot approve or register you for any classes outside the Food Studies Program.
****Once you’ve submitted your registration worksheet, Sam will clear you to register. To guarantee she can clear your advisor hold before registration, you must submit your worksheet by April 21st at 12pm. You still need to go online to Albert and register yourself. Registration for current students begins on Monday, April 25th with an assigned registration time (check Albert for time). Registration for all newly accepted MA students begins May 23rd at 9am.***
