Eligibility
Applicants to NYU study abroad programs are generally registered at an accredited college or university in the United States. Students who participate in study abroad programs have completed their freshman year of study and have attained a GPA of at least 3.0. Students who have completed some college-level work but who are not presently enrolled in a college or a university or who have already graduated are also eligible to apply.
When to Apply
We continue to encourage early applications and assure timely notification by the schedule of deadlines below. All complete applications will be considered. Should a program reach capacity students can apply to an alternate NYU study abroad location by notifying the Office of study abroad Admissions that they wish to cancel their first application and then submitting a second application online.

Notification
Once an admissions decision has been reached applicants will receive notification via email by the deadlines listed above which will then be followed by an acceptance packet via postal mail. Applications made after March 15th will be reviewed and as soon as an admission decision is rendered it will be communicated to the applicant via email.
Reserving your spot
Once notified of admission, students are required to submit a non-refundable $300 deposit to confirm their space in the program. Students for whom the deposit represents a financial hardship are encouraged to call the Study Abroad Admissions Office at (212) 998-4433 after they are admitted.
Please note that spring programs are especially popular; in previous years, some spring programs have closed as early as mid-September.
