ABOUT CONDITIONAL ADMISSIONStudents who have been conditionally admitted are required to follow the conditions of their admission for course registration. Please refer to your admissions letter to verify any and all conditions that may have been placed on your admission. Additional information about particular conditional admissions is listed below.

English as a Second Language (ESL) Placement Exam ConditionEnglish proficiency is a requirement for admission to all graduate programs and is necessary for success at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering. International students who receive this condition are admitted to a graduate degree program with the condition that they take the ESL Placement Exam and successfully complete English Language courses (if any) as required.

This condition is final, and students are strongly discouraged from contacting faculty to appeal their condition. Study at a previous English Language Center/School may not be applied toward a waiver of this condition, and retaking an English language exam after accepting a conditional offer of admission will not be cause for a waiver.

The ESL Placement Exam will be conducted during New Graduate Student Orientation (NGSO), and its result will be a placement level. This level will determine whether you are required to take full-time, part-time, or no ESL courses along with (or instead of) your graduate courses. ESL coursework does not count as quality points toward graduation and therefore is not included in the student’s Cumulative Grade Point Average.

For more information about ESL for graduate students, please visit: engineering.nyu.edu/admissions/graduate/international/esl

Proof of Degree CompletionProof of Degree Completion conditional admission is given to students who at the time of their application have not yet completed their bachelor’s degree or did not submit original or official copies of all the required documents. This is a requirement students must fulfill in order to continue with their academic degree program and it is a stipulation of their acceptance to the Graduate School at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering.

Bridge Courses or PrerequisitesDuring their first semester, students with this conditional status are to enroll in the bridge courses or prerequisites outlined in their acceptance letter. Bridge courses or prerequisites are a requirement that must be fulfilled in order to continue with their academic degree program and are a stipulation of their acceptance to the Graduate School at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering.

Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) During their first semester, students with a CGPA conditional status are required to maintain a CGPA of 3.0 or above for the length of time or number of credit hours stipulated in their acceptance letter. This requirement must be fulfilled in order to continue with their academic degree program, and it is a stipulation of their acceptance to the Graduate School at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering.

REGISTRATION FOR STUDENTS WITH CONDITIONAL ADMISSIONIn a student’s first semester, registration will be facilitated during orientation. Students must sign in with the Office of Graduate Enrollment Management and Admissions and may have their student account hold temporarily lifted and then meet with their academic adviser before registering for classes online.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENT ARRIVAL

PREPARING FOR YOUR DEPARTUREInternational students should make their travel plans to New York City as soon as they receive their visa. Note that students will not be permitted to enter the United States more than 30 days before the start date listed on their I-20 or DS-2019 form.

Admissions Condition DocumentsStudents whose offer of admission was conditional should make plans before the start of the semester to fulfill those conditions. For many students, this will mean requesting that universities and/or testing agencies transmit official copies of transcripts and/or test scores. It may also be necessary to bring final transcripts, mark sheets, or diplomas as Proof of Degree to satisfy other conditions, if you have not already done so.

DocumentsKeep your passport, I-20 or DS-2019, SEVIS fee receipt, admission letter, original academic records, medical and dental records, and any other important documents with you in your carry-on bags. Do not put important documents in your checked bags. Make backup copies of all your important documents and keep them with you, in a different place than your original documents.

MoneyWe suggest you bring traveler’s checks, a credit card and/or a small amount of US dollars when you travel from your home country. This will allow you to have cash for food, transportation, hotel

and other services. We do not suggest that you bring significant amounts of currency of any kind with you on your journey to New York. It is highly recommended that you set up a bank account with an institution that has branch locations in New York City after arriving.

Clothing/Climate

There are four seasons here. The summer (June–August) is hot with temperatures between 16-35°C or 61-95°F. During the winter (November–March), it can be very cold, with average temperatures between -3-11°C or 25-52°F. Be sure to pack some clothes for cold weather if you have them, and recall that there are shops near campus where you will be able to buy such items once you arrive.

Personal ItemsWe encourage you to bring personal items (such as photographs and addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses for your family and friends) and cultural items (such as traditional clothing and recipes for your favorite foods) with you to New York. Other suggested items would be an international driver’s license, and marriage and birth certificates if you are coming with dependents.

PREPARE YOUR DOCUMENTS FOR STUDY IN NYC

ARRIVING IN NEW YORK CITYThe NYU Tandon School of Engineering is located in New York City in the borough of Brooklyn and is convenient to all New York-area airports. International flights will either go to John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), LaGuardia Airport (LGA) or Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) in New Jersey—just across the river.

In many cases, it is most convenient to take a taxi from the airport. The cost is approximately US $50. The taxi drivers are very familiar with the city. Have the driver take you to your residence hall, hotel or the hostel. Be sure to use only official yellow or green New York City taxis.
