Applying
__________________________________________________________________________________
Applicants to NYU academic year study away programs are generally registered as full-time students at an accredited US college or university. Students who participate in study away programs have completed their freshman year of study (two full semesters). Students admitted to the program have earned a GPA of at least 3.0 or higher. Students who have completed at least one year of college but are not presently enrolled in a college or university or have already graduated are also eligible to apply; however, priority is given to students currently matriculated.
Students with disabilities who are requesting accommodations at NYU programs abroad must contact the Moses Center for Students with Disabilities to discuss reasonable accommodations. Students are encouraged to contact the Moses Center for Students with Disabilities prior to choosing a site and should register with the Moses Center as soon as they receive notification of their acceptance to a program. Information for students with disabilities who are requesting accommodations at an NYU program abroad can be found on the Moses Center website.
Eligibility & Requirements
All students interested in applying to study away through NYU for the fall and/or spring semester must complete the online application.
Eligible student types include:
NYU students need to fill out the online application, which includes a personal statement. Students applying to NYU Paris may also be required to submit the Language Background Form available for download within the online application.
Admissions Requirements
An integrated review of a student’s academic background and University records is required to confirm admission to any NYU Global Academic Center. Initial acceptance to study abroad through NYU is granted conditionally until all of the following stipulations are met:
Academic Success & Review of University Records
Please be aware that admission to any of the NYU Global Academic Programs is contingent upon the applicant’s continued academic success and a review of his or her University records. Should a student’s admission be revoked as a result of this review, New York University is not responsible for refunding any expenses incurred in preparation for the intended semester abroad.
Discipline Statement
Given their unique nature, membership in a global campus community requires mutual respect, consideration, and concern for the well-being of others as well as a significant degree of personal integrity and maturity. Students whose prior behavior has been determined through the University student conduct process to have been disruptive to the University community and/or antithetical to these qualities may be precluded from participation in the study abroad experience. Accordingly, please be advised that information concerning student conduct actions is made available to the New York University Global Academic Program and may be taken into consideration in the process of reviewing a student’s application to participate in that program. Students who have been placed on University disciplinary probation or on deferred suspension from University housing are ineligible to participate in the study abroad program during the period of their probation and/or deferred status. Students who have been suspended, withdrawn, or dismissed from the University and those who have been dismissed or suspended from University housing are permanently ineligible to participate in the Global Academic Program.
University Leave Policy
Students who have been on leave from the University must return to the New York City campus and successfully complete one academic semester (fall or spring) of full-time course work before enrolling in a Global Academic Program.
The NYU Study Abroad Standard is available for review.

Special note for students considering NYU Prague for fall 2012: (dated May 4, 2012) If you are a US citizen traveling on a US passport, unfortunately it is likely now too late for you to consider Prague for fall 2012. Viisa requirements set by the Czech government take a minimum of 3.5 months to secure and process - at this date it will be very difficult, if not impossible, for you to secure the required Czech visa. You should email us before applying to learn more.
If you are considering NYU Prague as an E.U. passport holder, you can disregard this message.
In order to receive notification of admission within sufficient time to apply for and receive your student visa, all non-U.S. citizens (including Green card holders)/non-E.U. citizens MUST apply by the first priority deadline for the Prague Program.
