FAQs

Please review the frequently asked questions below about the confirmation process, program changes and cancellations. If you are unable to find your answer here, contact global.admissions@nyu.edu.

What time on the notification date will I get my email?

Before midnight (EST)! We aim to send out notification during regular business hours, but if you have not heard by 5 pm don't worry. You will soon!

How do I know if my spot is confirmed?

Once confirmation is received or the deferment request granted, students will receive an email confirming their spot within 24 -48 hours.

I was admitted to one program but I want to change to another. Should I confirm my spot?

Any student who has been admitted to one program but wants to switch to another should complete the program change form. Completing that form does not guarantee admission to the new program. You will be reviewed for the new program and notified of a decision shortly.

If you are sure you do not want to attend the program you were admitted do not confirm (or cancel) your spot. If you still plan to study away at the location you were admitted if not allowed to switch programs, it is advised you confirm your spot.

I cancelled my application but now I want to go. Do I submit a new application?

You can only have one application on file with Global Programs per term. If you would like to reactivate your application, you must contact global.admissions@nyu.edu. Your admission to the program will be dependent on space and immigration restrictions and is not guaranteed.

I was offered my second choice program. Can I be put on a wait list for my first choice?

If you are certain that no other program except your first choice program will be an option, you can request to be put on a wait list. By going on the wait list, you will be forfeiting your spot in your second choice or any other available program.

The wait list is not a first come first serve process. As space becomes available, we will review all students as part of a larger pool. If we determine that we are able to add students to the cohort, we will review the entire pool and consider the academic requirements of the applicants, in addition to the academic strength of each student, to identify who would be most eligible to receive the offer. We review the wait list cohort as a pool because we want to make the best choice possible, taking into account course preferences and class capacity.

I was asked to submit a midterm report but can't find the form?

Students who were conditionally admitted pending the current term grades are instructed to submit a midterm grade report. Upon completion, a scanned copy of this form should be sent to
global.admissions@nyu.edu.
