* Students who are currently completing the first semester of their freshman year at a college or university are typically not eligible to apply for spring transfer admission to our schools and colleges offering spring transfer admission. We may grant exceptions, on rare occasions, and entertain a few spring transfer applications each year from freshmen at other colleges or universities. Applicants should understand in advance, however, that these are rare exceptions, as we will not have freshman college/university grades to evaluate at the time of your spring transfer application. As a result, you should contact the appropriate admissions counselor of the school or college you are considering at NYU to determine if you would be eligible for an exception before you submit a spring transfer application.
** New transfers entering the Film and Television Program and the Department of Recorded Music Program in Tisch School of the Arts are required to begin their studies in one of the two NYU Summer Sessions.
Transfer applicants to the Tisch Dance program are strongly encouraged to submit their application by February 15th. Auditions for transfer students are held in regionally in January and New York City in February.

Current NYU undergraduate students who wish to transfer to another school or college within NYU must complete an application to be considered. To be eligible for internal transfer you must be in at least your second semester of consecutive full-time study at your current NYU school or college. Students who have previously applied for an internal transfer and been denied admission must wait one full academic year before becoming eligible to re-apply for an internal transfer to any NYU school or college. Students who have already completed an internal transfer must wait one full academic year before becoming eligible to re-apply for another internal transfer. Students in the Liberal Studies Program should consult with their advisor to determine their eligibility for internal transfer.
There is no application fee for internal transfers. You may submit only one application for internal transfer at a time. Applications submitted after the internal transfer application deadline will only be considered on a space-available basis.
Please note that while the admissions office will make every attempt to provide an admissions decision in a timely fashion, it may not be possible to provide the decision in time to complete early registration in your new school or college.
Note for Internal Transfer applicants to Stern School of Business: Please see the Stern Additional Program Requirements page for important policies and restrictions.
