New York Institute of Technology offers students a wide range of advising and academic support services and programs. These services range from supplemental academic programs available to specific students, to resources available to all undergraduate students including academic advising, tutoring, and enrichment programs. Students are encouraged to take advantage of the available services that are designed to assist students in successfully achieving their academic and career goals at New York Tech.

Arthur O. Eve Higher Education Opportunity Program (HEOP):
New York Institute of Technology sponsors and administers the Arthur O. Eve Higher Education Opportunity Program (HEOP) on the New York City campus in conjunction with the New York State Education Department. To be eligible for the program, students must be New York State residents whose educational experience and economic status indicate a need for academic and financial assistance to complete a college degree. The program provides a wide range of support that includes a five-week summer program for all incoming first-year students, strengthening of study skills, tutoring, individual and group counseling, and financial assistance. Participation requires enrollment in a full-time program at the New York City campus. Transfer students may be considered if they were admitted to HEOP, EOP, or SEEK/CD at their previous institution. For additional information, please visit nyit.edu/heop.

Peer Success GUIDE Program:
At New York Tech, we are committed to helping our students succeed. The Peer Success GUIDE Program pairs new undergraduate, transfer, and first-year students with a Peer Success Guide (PSG). Once students have enrolled in classes, they will be contacted by their PSG who will provide them with both social and academic support during their transition to New York Tech, and throughout the entire first year. PSGs will also direct students to the many services and resources we have to offer and invite them to attend various events on campus. They will be available to meet with students and answer any questions they may have, and will plan special activities which will be a great opportunity for students to interact with peers at New York Tech. We recognize that transitioning to college can be difficult for many reasons and the Peer Success GUIDE Program is here to help! To learn more, visit nyit.edu/psg.

Academic Advising

New York Institute of Technology recognizes that academic advising is a critical component of the educational experience. As a result, a range of advising resources are available to assist students in creating meaningful educational plans that are compatible with their career goals. These resources include advisors from the Office of Undergraduate Academic Advising (UAA), faculty advisors, peer advisors, and a comprehensive website with tools such as semester maps, advisement preparation guidelines, and how-to guides.

In order to ensure all curriculum requirements are being satisfied, students are required to meet with an advisor before registration each semester. Although advisors guide students through this process, the student must assume final responsibility for conforming to all college regulations and completing degree requirements.

First-Year and Second-Year Academic Advising:
Students in their first and second year are assigned an advisor from the Office of Undergraduate Academic Advising (UAA). In addition to providing course selection guidance throughout their first two years, UAA advisors discuss career plans, degree requirements and progress, introduce academic resources, and assist students with online course registration. For those requiring a placement exam, first-semester advisement occurs following exam completion. Students transition to a faculty or staff advisor associated with their major for advisement after their second year, though proactive UAA support continues throughout their time as an undergraduate student.

My Guide to Success @ New York Tech:
Transitioning from high school to college can be challenging, different, and exciting, all at the same time. This course prepares first-year students as much as possible by providing them with direct insight into things such as common terms used at New York Tech, improving time management and study skills, and making students aware of what to expect in college. This course is uniquely designed to ensure a smooth transition to New York Tech and provide students with the tools and resources to succeed as a new college student.

Faculty Advisor:
As students enter their third year, they will meet with a faculty or staff advisor associated with their major for academic advisement. Faculty and staff advisors support students with their educational planning, provide career-related advice, and guide students on research, internship, or similar enrichment opportunities. Advisor schedules are available at nyit.edu/advising/find_an_advisor.

Office of Undergraduate Academic Advising (UAA)

The Office of Undergraduate Academic Advising offers advisement support and resources, as well as academic progress services and programs to undergraduate students.

UAA Advisors are professional, generalist advisors who serve as first-year and second-year advisors to incoming and transfer students. Additionally, though junior and senior students receive primary advisement from assigned faculty or staff within their academic departments, UAA advisors provide supplemental advising and graduation planning support to all undergraduate students. Students who need assistance with major exploration are also encouraged to visit UAA to receive guidance on academic major options as well as the change-of-major process. For additional information, please visit nyit.edu/advising.

Peer Advisors (PAs) are undergraduate upperclassmen who work under the supervision of UAA and provide support to undergraduate students in matters related to advisement and registration. Peer Advisors assist with the explanation of degree requirements, planning of future coursework, and navigation of online tools such as the Student Service HUB, schedule planning tools, and online registration. Peer Advisors also assist students with adjusting to university life by helping them become familiar with the policies and procedures outlined in the course catalog and student handbooks. For additional information, please visit nyit.edu/advising/peer_advising.

Academic Check:
Each semester, progress reports are requested for students who may benefit from additional attention or support, such as first-year and second-year students, new transfers, and students on academic probation. Once received, UAA advisors connect with the student to discuss their progress, positive or negative, based on the faculty's feedback. Additional resources are suggested, as needed, in order to help students achieve success.

Support for Students on Academic Probation:
Students who are placed on academic probation are notified of their standing via email from the Office of the Registrar. Each student is required to meet with an academic support advisor from the Office of Undergraduate Academic Advising (UAA) to create an individualized plan for academic success and is further encouraged to utilize campus resources (advising, tutoring, and counseling) to improve their academic standing. Students on academic probation are required to meet with an academic support advisor prior to registering for classes or making schedule changes.

Early Alert Initiative:
The Early Alert Initiative allows faculty and staff to identify students who are demonstrating unsatisfactory progress or concerning academic behavior in their course (e.g., low in-progress grades, academic disengagement, or high rates of absenteeism) during the semester. UAA advisors receive the alert and follow up with the student to address the underlying issues that may be affecting their academic performance, create a plan for academic success, and/or refer the student to an appropriate department. Learn more about the Early Alert Initiative.

In addition to offering advising support, the UAA team is committed to providing enrichment services and programs that help students reach their academic and career goals.

Academic Support Services

Office of Academic Success and Enrichment (ASE)

The Office of Academic Success and Enrichment provides academic support services in several ways, including by overseeing the Learning Center, offering course-based and skill-based peer tutoring, both in-person and virtually, as well as Supplemental Instruction and the Peer Success GUIDE program at the Long Island and New York City campuses. ASE also provides convenient and accessible online resources that cover a number of important academic and student success skill topics, available via several Canvas courses and programs.

Supplemental Instruction (SI) is an academic support program that targets historically challenging courses in an effort to increase student performance for those who participate in the program. Students who have successfully completed one of these courses, and are recommended by the faculty, are chosen as SI leaders to facilitate regularly scheduled out-of-class SI sessions for students enrolled in the assigned course. SI sessions help further students' understanding of course concepts by reviewing notes, discussing readings, developing organizational tools, and preparing for examinations. For additional information, please visit nyit.edu/si.

Academic Skills Workshops are available to help students develop and/or strengthen academic skills that are essential for success in college and after. Our professional staff are available to work with students, one-on-one or in a small group setting, on skills such as time management, effective learning/study techniques, and test taking skills. These workshops highlight foundational skills to help students find success outside of course content. For additional information, please visit nyit.edu/ase.

Academic Department Services

In addition to services provided by the Office of Academic Success and Enrichment (ASE), students can receive discipline-specific academic support services coordinated by academic departments as well.

The Math Resource Center provides free help with all math courses, including placement assistance, WebAssign homework support, exam preparation, and background information. Patient and caring faculty from the math department provide tutorial assistance for all levels of mathematics. We deal with any anxiety you may be experiencing as well as the math concepts. Students are seen by appointment (preferred) or drop-in. For additional information, visit nyit.edu/tutoring or email mrc@nyit.edu.

Graduate Students

Advisement

Each student is assigned an advisor for assistance in structuring a program. New York Institute of Technology posts a list of program advisors at registration time. The student's advisor is available for help and guidance, and the advisor's approval is required for each registration. Students are ultimately responsible for conforming to all college regulations and completing curriculum requirements.

Program Loads

Graduate programs can be full-time and part-time. At New York Institute of Technology, full-time is defined as a minimum of nine credits per semester at the graduate level. Graduate students enrolled in less than nine credits are part-time. U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Department regulations require international students with F-1 visas to pursue a full-time course of study.

Course Offerings and Locations

The courses in this catalog represent academic offerings for each discipline. Specific courses are given in accordance with student demand. The complete schedule of courses, which includes section listings, times, and locations, is available online.

We seek to extend educational access to members of all groups and are proud of the diversity that has become synonymous with New York Tech.

An applicant is admitted to New York Tech based on their educational preparedness and ability to be academically successful. We conduct a comprehensive evaluation of each applicant's school records, essays, and recommendations. Effective spring 2021, standardized testing will be optional for most programs. First-year applicants may submit the results of either the SAT or ACT as supplemental material for consideration by the Admissions Committee. Some academic programs may still require standardized test scores, so please review individual program requirements. We encourage you to visit our beautiful campuses and make arrangements to meet with an admissions counselor, either in-person or virtually.

Students who wish to enroll at New York Tech for the purpose of earning a degree, diploma, or certificate must complete an application for matriculated status. Such an application is not binding to a specific school, course of study, or campus. The college reserves the right to refuse matriculation for specific New York Institute of Technology schools or majors. Transfer students desiring matriculation will be evaluated on the basis of prior coursework. Students are admitted to New York Tech for the fall or spring semesters, but may enroll in summer courses once admitted.

Students may be required to take placement exams in English or math to determine the level of math and/or English courses to take in the first semester. Students will be contacted via email with what is required. If they are not required to take a placement exam, they will be able to sign up for an advisement appointment to register for classes.

Transfer students are exempt from the English placement exam if they receive transfer credit for the first required college composition course. Transfer students are exempt from the math placement exam if they receive transfer credit for the first math course required in their major or if they are enrolled in a major that requires only "mathematics choice."

Credit Evaluation for First-Year and Transfer Students

Applicants to all campuses assume the responsibility of having previous schools send final, official transcripts to the Office of Admissions. The transfer of credits for first-year and transfer applicants will be considered using the following general rules:

Transfer credit may be given for courses completed at a regionally accredited college or other qualified institution acceptable to the standards of New York Tech. Students admitted to the Life Sciences, B.S./Osteopathic Medicine, D.O. (B.S./D.O. program) are not eligible for transfer credit.
Courses must be appropriate to New York Tech curricula. Transfer credit for major courses is granted for equivalent coursework only. Substitutions may be considered in the core curriculum when coursework is from the same discipline.
Courses not included in New York Tech curricula but relevant to the ultimate educational objectives of the student, may be allowed toward an elective requirement in a specific curriculum; however, transfer credit will not be awarded in excess of degree requirements.
Credit may be granted for Advanced Placement (AP) exams taken in high school. Grades of 3, 4, and 5 are required for possible credit. An official score report from the College Board (New York Tech's college code is 2561) should be mailed to the Office of Admissions on Long Island or New York City campus.
- For the combined health professions programs in Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, or Physician Assistant Studies, as well as the Nursing program, scores of 4 or 5 are required for possible credit for courses identified as prerequisites. AP scores of 5 are required to receive credit for biology, chemistry, mathematics, psychology, and statistics courses in the combined Physician Assistant Studies program.
Credit may be granted for International Baccalaureate (IB) exams taken in high school. Grades of 4, 5, 6, or 7 on higher-level exams only are required for possible credit. Official IB exam results provided by the International Baccalaureate Organization should be mailed to the Office of Admissions on Long Island or New York City campus.
- For the combined health professions programs in Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, or Physician Assistant Studies, as well as the Nursing program, scores of 5, 6, or 7 on higher-level exams only are required for possible credit for courses identified as prerequisites.
Transfer credit is recorded as credit only and is not computed in the cumulative grade point average unless it becomes necessary in determining graduation honors. Credit for challenge examinations taken at a regionally accredited college may be granted if recorded on an official transcript with credits and a grade of C- or better.
Grades of C- or better are transferable. Pass grades earned during the spring 2020 semester meet this GPA threshold and are transferable to New York Tech. Grades of D+ and D are acceptable only under one of the following conditions:
1. If the grades were earned in courses at a school where an associate's or bachelor's degree was completed with a 2.0 GPA and the courses counted toward the degree.
2. If the grades were earned in courses at a school where at least 30 credits were completed with a 2.5 GPA.
Please note: Several undergraduate majors, such as business administration, engineering, and nursing, have minimum grade requirements for transfer courses. Students may be advised to retake classes in which they received C, C-, or D grades if seeking internships or admission to certain professional schools. D- grades are not transferable. Students will not be required to retake courses for which they received a Pass grade for the spring 2020 semester.
Students transferring from an associate's degree program or two-year school are eligible for a maximum of 70 transfer credits. The maximum transfer credit for students transferring from a bachelor's program is the difference between the required 30 credits in residency at New York Tech (see Requirements for Graduation) and the total credits required for the New York Tech degree. For example, if a New York Tech degree requires 120 credits, students transferring from a bachelor's program are eligible for a maximum of 90 transfer credits.

Transfer credit for newly admitted students is evaluated by the Office of Admissions, following the above listed rules for the various types of credit. The transfer credit evaluation guidelines are applicable for all course delivery modes including online courses.

Prior Learning Evaluation Program

This special New York Tech program was designed to give undergraduate students the opportunity to earn credit for prior college-level learning relevant to their curriculum. Matriculated New York Tech students maintaining a 2.0 average are eligible to apply for credit, although transfer students must first have their college transcripts officially evaluated. Some majors, such as nursing or sciences, restrict the use of prior learning credit toward major requirements. Students should consult the Office of Prior Learning for details. Student knowledge gained outside the traditional college classroom may be evaluated by proficiency examinations, non-collegiate course evaluations, and portfolio evaluations. Please be aware that evaluation fees are charged.

A maximum of 60 credits toward a bachelor's degree or 30 credits toward an associate's degree can be earned through standardized proficiency examinations, New York Tech challenge examinations, and prior learning credits (non-collegiate coursework or portfolio); however, any credits earned through these methods cannot be used to fulfill New York Tech residency requirements. Counseling is available on an individual basis or at an advisement session. For more information, contact the Office of Prior Learning at 516.686.3898.

Students may use the portfolio method of evaluation to have their knowledge of a certain course or academic area evaluated. Requests for credit must fulfill a course requirement in a student's degree program. Each portfolio consists of an essay explaining how the student acquired this knowledge and how it relates to course objectives. New York Tech does require documentation of such learning, which may be in the form of work samples, detailed job descriptions, or licenses. A nonrefundable evaluation fee is charged for each portfolio. A Prior Learning Evaluation Guide containing more detailed information is available online, and may be obtained from the Office of Admissions at 516.686.3898.

Proficiency Examinations

Credit for degree requirements and elective courses can be earned with satisfactory scores on proficiency examinations. The College Level Examination Program (CLEP), Prometric's DSST program, Excelsior College Examinations, and NYU School of Professional Studies foreign language exams are standardized testing programs that cover numerous academic areas. New York Tech has developed its own challenge examinations in certain subjects not covered by CLEP, DSST, Excelsior, or NYU. Challenge examination information is available in the Office of the Registrar.

Non-collegiate Course Evaluations

The New York State Education Department's National College Credit Recommendation Service (National CCRS) and the American Council on Education (ACE) have evaluated and recommended credit for many non-collegiate courses. New York Tech honors these credit recommendations for elective credit and may award prior learning credit for required courses on this basis. Courses that have not been reviewed by National CCRS or ACE but meet certain criteria will also be evaluated on an individual basis by the college. Credit for military coursework and Military Occupational Specialties (MOS) may be granted. ACE has evaluated some of this coursework, and credit toward electives is awarded based upon the ACE recommendation. Certificates of completion and/or official Joint Services Transcripts (JST) should be sent to the evaluations office for the assessment of military coursework that may be credited toward a college degree.

Military-affiliated students who have completed at least 36 months of active duty service and have been honorably discharged, or currently serve on active duty, reserve, or National Guard, must submit a certificate of completion or Joint Service Transcript (JST). These students will be awarded a minimum of six prior learning credits to apply towards the Foundations of Speech Communication (FCSP 105) and Foundations of Inquiry (FCIQ 101) core requirements, in addition to any credits evaluated by way of the JST. Please note certain majors may have standards that will take precedence over this policy.

Final, official transcripts should be received prior to or close to the start of your first semester. In the event that official transcripts are not received by the end of the first semester, students will not be permitted to register for future semesters and may have their financial aid canceled. The Office of Admissions reserves the right to rescind offers of admission.

New York Tech may waive some of the entrance requirements for applicants based on the discretion of the Office of Admissions or academic departments.

Also Note:

Four years of study are generally necessary to acquire a bachelor's degree (five years for the Bachelor of Architecture degree), but New York Tech does not guarantee that any student will complete a program within this time. All international students with F-1 visas must be full-time day students.
All students transferring from foreign institutions of higher learning will be required to have their educational credentials evaluated by an agency specializing in reviewing international transcripts. This agency must be acceptable to the standards of New York Tech, such as World Education Services or Globe Language Services. There is a fee for this evaluation service. Possible transfer credits will be determined by New York Tech after results of the course-by-course evaluation have been received. Students must provide course outlines and/or syllabi if available to facilitate credit transfer.

Reenrollment/Readmission of Former Students

Students who have stopped attending New York Tech for one semester, not including summer, and have not attended another institution do not need to apply for readmission. These students may return under the original catalog/curriculum of admission and must seek academic advisement from their department. Find the appropriate academic advisor to contact for additional information.
Students who have been away for one semester and who have attended another institution must submit official transcript(s) in order to have those credits evaluated for transfer credits. Transcripts can be submitted to the Office of Admissions.
Former students of New York Tech who have been away for two or more semesters must complete an application for readmission with the Office of Admissions along with the necessary supporting documentation and any applicable processing fees. Students are required to present all transcripts for evaluation at the time of readmission in order to receive any applicable transfer credit for work completed at another institution and to ensure proper academic advisement, scholarship, and financial aid eligibility.

Once readmitted to the college, students must fulfill the curriculum requirements in effect at the time of their readmission. Students readmitted after a break of five years or less (undergraduates must be within 30 credits of degree completion) may request approval to follow the program requirements in place at the time of their most recent admission/readmission. The academic dean responsible for the program will decide in this matter. Students readmitted after a break of more than five years (undergraduates must be within 30 credits of degree completion) may request approval to follow the program requirements in place at the time of their most recent admission/readmission. The Vice President for Academic Affairs (or designee) will decide in this matter. In all cases, NYSED regulations will guide these decisions.

Non-matriculated (Non-degree) Applicants

Regardless of whether you are enrolled at other institutions, you are welcome to enroll in the spring, summer, or fall semester, on a non-degree basis, and take up to 24 credits. You must first file an application for non-matriculated status, which can be obtained through the Office of Admissions.

Non-matriculated students may be admitted to individual courses if they meet the prerequisites for these courses. Students who initially enroll as non-matriculants may file for change of status with the Office of Admissions and are encouraged to apply for admission to the college. Students who do not have a Regents high school diploma or GED must first complete 24 credits as non-matriculated students, and if they are New York residents, file for a high school equivalency diploma with the state.

Graduate Requirements

Requirements for admission to graduate study at New York Tech vary with the discipline the applicant chooses. All applicants are required to hold a bachelor's degree or its equivalent from a regionally accredited college or university (or its equivalent for international students), and must submit the completed application, the application fee, and such additional materials and information as the specific program or its director may require.

Applicants who have completed the application process and have been accepted for graduate study may be given a status of matriculation as defined by each program. Applicants who do not have all the necessary information in time to be processed before the beginning of a new term may be permitted to enroll as non-matriculated students at the discretion of the director for one term while completing their records.

Programs do not, in general, require that the undergraduate major be in the specific field to which the applicant is seeking graduate admission; however, each program sets forth certain prerequisite courses or subject matter areas in which the student must establish proficiency before proceeding to graduate work (refer to prerequisite requirements for each program listed in the Schools and Colleges section of the catalog).

Prerequisite courses carry prerequisite credit only, and the credits earned may not be counted toward the number of graduate credits required for the degree. A limited number of applicants without degree objectives who have acceptable professional backgrounds may be permitted to take a maximum of nine credits as non-matriculated/non-degree students at the discretion of the appropriate program director. Please refer to the individual listing for each discipline for additional terms and conditions, if any.

How to Apply to New York Tech

U.S. Students

Applicants with Master's Degrees

Possession of a master's degree from an accredited U.S. institution may be accepted as evidence of having met the academic and test score requirements for matriculation; however, this does not relieve the applicant of the obligation to file all undergraduate transcripts and appropriate test scores, which will be used for research purposes.

Early Admission

New York Tech students who have an undergraduate cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better may, under proper circumstances, enroll in up to six credits of selected graduate courses before completing the undergraduate degree. Information regarding requirements, eligibility, and limitations is available in the offices of the graduate program directors.

Actual admission to the graduate program as a degree candidate can only be granted after the undergraduate degree has been received and formal requirements for admission have been met. Upon formal admission to a graduate program with matriculated status, credit may be granted toward a graduate degree for those graduate courses taken as an undergraduate but not credited toward an undergraduate degree, and completed with a grade of B or better.

Visas

New York Tech is authorized under federal law to enroll nonimmigrant alien students. Students holding F-1 visas must register for the number of hours required by law and have their registration approved by the Office of International Education. Upon acceptance of an offer of admission, candidates are required to submit a nonrefundable tuition deposit. If a student's visa is denied, the deposit, if paid, will be refunded upon proof of visa denial from the consulate.

U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Department regulations require international students with F-1 visas to pursue a full-time course of study. At New York Tech, this is defined as a minimum of nine credits per semester at the graduate level.

International students holding an F-1 visa issued for study at another U.S. institution must forward a SEVIS I-20 Transfer Form, which can be obtained online and completed by an official at the transferring school, to the Office of Graduate Admissions.

International applicants who hold a valid temporary B-2 visitor's visa that is specifically stamped "prospective student" at the time of application and are accepted into a graduate program will be expected to make arrangements to meet with the Office of International Education upon arrival.

Admission of International Graduate Applicants Without U.S. Equivalent Baccalaureate Degrees (Bridge Program)

Applications from international students who have completed only a three-year postsecondary program that is equivalent to three years of undergraduate study in the United States, or a four-year program that is not equivalent to an American bachelor's degree, will be considered for admission with the following additional provisions:

The student may be required to take a New York Tech English proficiency examination prior to enrollment.
Each student must complete a minimum of 30 additional undergraduate credits with a grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.0. A substantial number of these credits may be in English as a Second Language (ESL) courses, depending upon the results of the proficiency examination, if required.
Upon satisfactory completion of these 30 credits, the student will be granted provisional status in the chosen graduate program, except for the M.B.A. program, and expected to meet all requirements of this status, which includes the achievement of at least a 3.0 GPA through the first 12 graduate credits. M.B.A. students must meet all entrance criteria in order to be admitted and begin taking classes as well as be required to maintain at least a 3.0 GPA through the first 12 graduate credits.

Transfer Students

Graduate credits taken at other accredited institutions and completed with a grade of B or better, or earned by way of the New York Tech's approved prior learning options, may be credited toward the graduate degree, provided those graduate credits have not been applied toward another degree and the course content is deemed by the program director to be appropriate to the major being pursued and the equivalent of that offered at New York Tech. Transfer credit is awarded to matriculated students who are seeking to complete a degree at New York Tech.

Generally, up to nine (9) credits may be transferred to graduate degree programs, depending on your major, under proper conditions. Some specialized programs may offer more or less transfer credit. Please refer to the particular program you are interested in for specific information.

View graduate degrees by school:

Normally, courses taken more than five years ago cannot be transferred, although the program director or dean's designee may make exceptions following a review of the transfer request.

All requests for transfer credit must be made within the first semester of enrollment. Requests received after the first semester will not be considered. Appropriate forms are available through the Office of Graduate Admissions. Official transcripts of work to be evaluated and catalog descriptions of the course(s) taken must also be submitted and must also be sent directly from the college or university concerned to graduate admissions. Students are encouraged to initiate requests for transfer credit at the time of application for admission to a graduate degree program.

If your transcripts are in a language other than English, you must submit an official English translation through one of the following:

If you have attended college overseas, you need to have a course-by-course evaluation done of your educational credentials by a National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) member organization. See approved agencies listed above. Possible transfer credit will be determined upon admission to New York Tech and receipt of the course-by-course evaluation.

Additional college-wide policies, not mentioned here but applying equally to the graduate programs, may be found in the undergraduate catalog.

Prior Learning Evaluation

New York Tech evaluates graduate-level knowledge and skills an individual has gained outside of the classroom for graduate degree credit. This evaluation is called credit for prior learning (CPL), but it may also be referred to as prior learning assessment or experiential learning.

Some examples of credit for flexible learning include:

Approved courses offered through educational technology platforms (e.g. Coursera, Udacity, etc.)
Workplace training
Military training and service
Independent study
Professional certifications
Examinations (e.g national exams)

Students must be matriculated (working toward a degree) to earn CPL. CPL does not count toward the university residency requirements. Students cannot earn CPL for a course of a level lower than course(s) they have completed or in which they are currently enrolled.

Reenrollment/Readmission of Former Students

Students who have stopped attending New York Tech for one semester, not including summer, and have not attended another institution do not need to apply for readmission. These students may return under the original catalog/curriculum of admission and must seek academic advisement from their department. Find the appropriate academic advisor to contact for additional information.
Students who have been away for one semester and who have attended another institution must submit official transcript(s) in order to have those credits evaluated for transfer credits. Transcripts can be submitted to the Office of Admissions.
Former students of New York Tech who have been away for two or more semesters must complete an application for readmission with the Office of Admissions along with the necessary supporting documentation and any applicable processing fees. Students are required to present all transcripts for evaluation at the time of readmission in order to receive any applicable transfer credit for work completed at another institution and to ensure proper academic advisement, scholarship, and financial aid eligibility.

Non-matriculated (Non-degree) Applicants

Regardless of whether you are enrolled at other institutions, you are welcome to enroll in the spring, summer, or fall semester, on a non-degree basis, and take up to nine credits. You must first file an application for non-matriculated status, which can be obtained through the Office of Admissions, and obtain permission of the director of the appropriate graduate program. A nonrefundable fee of $50 must accompany each application. M.B.A. courses are not permitted.

Satisfactory performance as a non-degree student does not guarantee acceptance into any graduate program once you have reached the limit of nine credits of graduate study. You must apply to and meet all admissions requirements and standards. Courses taken as a non-degree student may be applied toward the graduate degree if they are part of the degree's program of study. Non-degree students are urged to seek advisement from program faculty prior to registration for any course.
