As an NYU student, how do I register for Winter Session courses?
You register on Albert beginning October 26th and in person at the Student Services Center ~ 25 W. 4th Street beginning December 7th. See NYU Student Registration Calendar for details.
As a non-NYU student, how do I register for Winter Session courses?
You may either fax the Winter Session 2010 Registration Form to the Office of Special Sessions or drop off your form in person to 110 E. 14th Street, Lower Level.
Are freshmen eligible to register for Winter Session courses?
Yes. Talk with your advisor about how the credits will apply to your major/elective requirements.
Will these classes help me graduate faster?
You will earn credit for these courses so it is possible that Winter Session will help you complete your degree requirements faster. However, Winter Session courses are intensive so you can take a maximum of 8 credits.
I am not able to arrive for the class I want to take until the second day it meets, do I need permission to start a day late?
Because the Winter Session courses are highly intensive students are strongly encouraged not to miss any of the course meetings.
Can I take a 4 credit Winter Session course and add it to 12 credits during spring semester so my total of 16 can count against the spring tuition that allows 12 to 18 credits?
No. Winter Session courses are separate from Spring semester courses. You can take a Winter Session course and continue to enroll in up to 18 credits during spring semester.
Can I apply for financial aid to help me pay for my Winter Session course?
Financial aid is available for current NYU undergraduates. Students should visit the Winter Session Financial Aid website for more information.
Is tuition remission available for Winter Session courses?
Yes, NYU employees and their dependents are eligible for tuition remission. Visit Bursar Tuition Remission Page for more information.
I'm switching residence halls between fall and spring semester, can I move into my new hall in December so moving won't interfere with my studying for my winter class?
Residents moving to a new room for the spring semester must completely move out of their fall space by Sunday, December 21, 2008. Any questions about the move process should be directed to the Residence Hall Operations Manager of your fall housing assignment.
I'm going abroad in the spring so I have a housing contract with NYU but not in New York, can I stay in housing for Winter Session?
Yes, please send an email to housing.winter.session@nyu.edu in order to arrange this. Please note that while NYU Housing will be able to accommodate you during your Winter Session course, you will likely be required to relocate to another residence hall space for Winter Session. Please note housing is only available until Saturday, January 17, 2008.
Is housing available for non-NYU (visiting) students?
Yes. Limited housing is available for visiting students in the Greenwich Hotel residence hall.

Once you are enrolled you will be contacted by the Department of Housing with the specific details and payment information.
