Off-Campus Course Petitions 

As a student enrolled in a degree program at New York University, you are expected to take your courses, including summer sessions, at New York University. Under exceptional circumstances and when in good academic standing, you may receive approval to study off-campus. The Associate Dean for Student Affairs will consider exceptions on a case-by-case basis, and these exceptions must be approved in advance. 

Off-Campus Courses must be: 

• • passed with a grade of C or better 

  • taken at a United States four-year college or university with regional accreditation 

  • may not be taken as Pass/Fail 

  • will not be computed in your GPA 

  • Course description(s) must be attached to the Off-Campus Course Petition Form

  • Course(s) must be degree-bearing courses measured in semester-hour credits 

  • Documentation is required to support that course credits are semester-hour credits 

Deadlines:  

• January term: December 1 

• Spring term: December 15 

• Summer term: March 25 

• Fall term: August 1 

In order to complete the request to take a course off-campus, students must meet with their advisor and complete the Off-Campus Course Petition Form. If the petition is approved, upon completion of the non-NYU course(s), students must send an official transcript to steinhardt.advisement.registration@nyu.edu. 

The official transcript will be evaluated for transfer credit toward graduation requirements. The Off-Campus Course Petition Form can be found here.
