Once you’ve completed your housing application, you must make sure you register for the required number of classes. Students living on campus must meet the registration requirements below:

• Students must enroll in two (2) credit bearing courses, for a total of 8 credits
• Students must enroll in one (1) noncredit workshop

All Precollege students participating in our residential program will live with roommates in one of NYU’s residential halls located near Washington Square Park, the heart of NYU. Students will be a short walk away from NYU’s academic buildings, library, and dining halls.
NYU’s Housing Office will notify students of their room and roommate assignments approximately two weeks prior to the start of the Precollege program.

The meal plan allows students to access the dining areas on campus. Students living on campus must sign up for a meal plan with 10 or more meals per week, giving them at least 10 meals for weekly use and a set number of dining dollars each week. Students may get meals to-go if their classes conflict with meal hours, or use dining dollars to buy food when the dining halls are not serving. Dining halls will be open on weekends.

Campus housing has a dedicated team of professional and student staff to ensure students’ safety, a sense of community, and administrative operations. Program Assistants (PAs) will live on the floor with students. PAs and Graduate Assistants accompany students on all scheduled activities that take them beyond the immediate Washington Square Park area.
Students will check-in each morning and each evening with the PAs, but are responsible for getting themselves to and from classes each day.

Monday through Thursday, curfew is at 11:00 p.m., and students are expected to be in the residence hall at that time. Friday and Saturday, curfew is at 12:00 a.m. Bed check occurs at 1:00 a.m.

 The costs for the Precollege Residential Option are summarized below.

If you are registered for classes you are responsible for all costs (tuition and fees) associated with your courses. Please be aware that if you have decided not to participate in Summer in NYC, you must drop your classes via NYU Albert and notify the Office of University Programs in writing at university.programs@nyu.edu so that you are no longer responsible for the costs.

Tuition can be calculated by taking the number of credits/units the student wishes to enroll in and multiplying it by the price per unit, $1,267. See below for an example.

*The mandatory University Service Fee is paid for the first credit only.

Tuition includes:

Tuition cost per credit ($1,204) plus a non-refundable registration fee of $63.00 per unit.
The Board of Trustees of New York University reserves the right to alter this schedule of fees without notice.

An electronic bill will be sent to your NYU email account once you have registered for your summer courses. You may pay via electronic check. The University will not accept partial payment. In the case of overpayment, the balance is refunded.

International Students

We welcome international students! In most cases, international students who want to enroll in NYU Summer Sessions must obtain a student visa in order to attend. It is important to allow plenty of time between admission and the start of the program to ensure that all visa steps are completed. As such, all international students must submit their application in full, including language proficiency scores, by the March 15, 2013 application deadline. Permanent residents and individuals in the U.S. pursuant to certain non-immigrant visa categories are not required to submit visa documentation to enroll in courses. Please contact the NYU Office of Global Services (OGS) with specific visa related questions at newinternationalstudents@nyu.edu.

All international students MUST check in with the NYU Office of Global Services (OGS) upon arrival in order to be in compliance. Visit the OGS website for a list of dates and times for visiting student check in.

Note to international students from NYU Office of Global Services (OGS): Individuals who enter the U.S. on a B visa (tourist) or pursuant to visa waiver are not eligible to participate in a course of study at NYU as a visiting student. An F-1 or J-1 student is a nonimmigrant who is pursuing a “full course of study” to achieve a specific educational objective at an academic institution in the United States. Once the educational objective has been achieved, the F-1 or J-1 student is expected by the U.S. government to depart the U.S. Pursuant to these guidelines, University Programs sessions at New York University are designed to be singular academic experiences for international students. Therefore, international students are encouraged to have one such experience per year, and should not plan to apply for more than one University Programs session per year. Please contact OGS to clarify any questions related to your particular educational objective.

International students studying in the US (at NYU or at another academic institution) who have an F-1 or J-1 visa are not required to submit additional visa documentation to enroll in courses at NYU.

NYU requires students enrolling in courses to have a F-1 or J-1 visa. The NYU Office of Global Services (OGS) can assist you in obtaining an I-20 to process your F-1 or J-1 visa. Once you have completed a program application, you will receive instructions for submitting the I-20/DS-2019 documentation. OGS will assist you in obtaining an I-20 to process your F-1 or J-1 visa. Contact them with specific visa related questions at newinternationalstudents@nyu.edu. You must fulfill the following requirements:

• You must be enrolled as a full time student. Full-time enrollment can be defined in one of two ways: (1) You will need a minimum of 6 points for a 6-week session, 3 points for a 3-week session, or 12 points for a 12-week session. (2) You may take a course that meets a total of 18 hours per week.
• You must provide Proof of English Proficiency as a part of program registration – acceptable formats:
  • TOEFL: minimum score of 600 on the paper-based test, 250 on the computer-based test, or 100 on the internet-based test; OR
  • IELTS: minimum overall score of 7; OR
  • Pearson’s Test of English (PTE Academic);
  • University Transcript: If you are currently attending or attended an academic institution in which English is the language of instruction you may submit an official transcript in lieu of testing. (Transcripts submitted in lieu of testing must be identified as such via an email to english.proficiency@nyu.edu)

Please have TOEFL, IELTS, or PTE scores sent directly to NYU from the testing agency. NYU’s institution code is 2562.

Personal Conclusions: As a kid (but still now!) being able to live on Washington Square is a treat in itself.  As with COlumbia, you pay for the privilege of being in Manhattan. Vast selection of classes. Open to younger kids, even if limited to art/theatre classes.
