CROSS REGISTRATION

You may take graduate courses in other schools at NYU if you are a matriculated student and you meet the necessary prerequisites. Graduate students may not take undergraduate courses. You may take a maximum of 2 NYU courses outside of Schack if the other school will allow you to register for it and if the course is pre-approved by Schack advisors, or if you obtain Schack advisor approval through the process outlined below. 

Eligibility

• In order to register for a course at another NYU graduate school, you must have completed your Schack Core requirements or be completing them this semester.

• To be eligible to graduate, degree candidates may not complete more than 6 credits outside of Schack. 

Policies

• You may not take non-Schack courses in your first term.  

• Undergraduate courses cannot count toward any Schack degree.

• Course credits vary across schools (not all award 1.5 or 3 credits)

• The number of credits assigned to the course by the NYU school offering it will be the number of credits applied toward your Schack degree.

• If you receive a final grade lower than "C-" in any course (regardless of host school), it cannot be counted toward your degree.

Important Guidelines

• Seats in courses at other NYU divisions are not guaranteed.

• Students pay tuition for these courses through Schack according to their Schack credit equivalence.

• It is the student's responsibility to be aware of the add/drop dates and deadlines for any approved courses taken outside of Schack. 

• Many other NYU division courses maintain course prerequisites/co-requisites. Students must meet course prerequisites for the class they wish to register for at the other NYU division. Students can review these requirements on the Albert Course Search online.
