Tuition Refund Policy for Individual Courses

Students studying away are required to take a full course load (between 12-18 credits) and pay full-time tuition. Tuition charges for full-time students remaining between 12-18 credits will not be affected by dropping a course. Those students who are enrolled in more than 18 credits and wish to drop down to between 12-18 credits will receive a 100% refund of Tuition and Fees if they drop during the first two weeks of the semester. There is no refund if a course is dropped after the first two weeks. Please note that the study away semester begins with the First Day of Classes listed on the site calendars. Each calendar week is counted beginning with the First Day of classes listed on the site calendars.

Tuition Insurance Refund Plan

Tuition Refund Insurance is available for families wishing to complement New York University’s refund policy. More information is available on the NYU Bursar site.

Enrolling for Over 18 Credits in the Fall or Spring

All students studying away at a Global Academic Center must be enrolled full-time. A full-time load at NYU is between 12 and 18 points (12 and 20 points for School of Engineering students*). Students who wish to “overload” by taking more than 18 points during a fall or spring semester at a Global Academic Center must receive permission from the Office of Global Programs in addition to their home school. Please email global.academics@nyu.edu to request permission to overload.

Your request will be reviewed in consultation with the Global Academic Center Director and your advisor. Please note that permission from the Office of Global Programs is in addition to any approval required by your home school. Please also note that overloading results in additional tuition and fees for most students. Further details can be found on the Bursar’s website.

*NYU School of Engineering Students' full-time tuition covers 12 to 20 points. These students do not require special permission to enroll in 20 points and do not incur extra fees. Students should be aware however that 20 points is beyond the traditional course load for most students at a Global Academic Center, and students enrolling in 20 points should be prepared for a challenging academic semester.
