To Register as a Non-Credit Student
Students can register for non-credit courses online or by mail, fax (212.229.5648), phone (212.229.5690), or in person at 72 Fifth Avenue, lower level, during scheduled registration hours using the Noncredit Registration Form. To register by fax or mail, download the Registration Form (PDF) and follow the instructions. (This form requires Adobe Acrobat Reader, which you can download for free from the Adobe website.) Full payment of tuition and fees must accompany your registration.
To Register as an Undergraduate General Credit Student
Students taking eight or fewer credits may register online or by mail, fax (212.229.5648), or in person at 72 Fifth Avenue, lower level, during scheduled registration hours using the General Credit Registration Form. Students taking more than eight credits require signed approval of an advisor and registration in person. Contact Academic Services at 212.229.5615 or academicservices@newschool.edu to schedule an advising appointment. Specific requirements for credit vary from course to course. Knowing and completing course requirements is the student's responsibility. General credit registration for any course should be completed before the first class session.
Visit the Study Options page for more information about Non-Credit versus General Credit status.
Next Steps
Once your payment has cleared, a course schedule, receipt, and temporary ID card will be mailed to you. This information confirms you have registered for a course. If you do not receive this record within two weeks of registering, please contact the Office of Student Financial Services at sfs@newschool.edu. Course locations can be found on MyNewSchool, and should be checked prior to class, as they are subject to change. Simply follow the class finder link—no login is required.
Please retain your course schedule, receipt, and temporary ID card and bring them with you when you come to class (you will be required to show proof for admission). These will also be required to process adds/drops and refunds. If you have not received your class schedule by the day your course begins, or if you have lost or forgotten it, you can still be admitted to class provided your name appears on the instructor's roster.
Adds, Drops, Withdrawals, and Refunds
Deadlines for adds, drops, withdrawals, and refunds can be found at the Registrar's Office website. Students are responsible for meeting the deadline.
To Register as a Certificate Student
Each certificate program has its own admission and/or application process which precedes registration. Prior to registering for certificate status in a particular program, visit the program site. Get more information on each of our certificate programs.
