Student Advisement

Undergraduate Advisement

Welcome to the Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development at New York University. This web page is for all of our undergraduate students. Please browse this site and familiarize yourself with the policies and procedures of the school.

As you browse, please write down any questions you may have and check our "frequently asked questions". You should consult with your academic advisor and, of course, you may call the Office of Undergraduate Advisement and Registration Services if you do not find the answer to your question(s). Please feel free to call Linda Chin, Assistant Director at (212) 998-5053, email: lc5@nyu.edu or Belkis Baez, Student Advisor at (212) 998-9031, email: belkis.baez@nyu.edu.

New Student Seminar

During their first semester in residence, incoming freshmen and transfer students must register for the New Student Seminar (E03.0001). The New Student Seminar is a noncredit course given on a pass/fail basis, organized by curriculum, to explore professional issues and to provide ongoing orientation and guidance for new students.

Liberal Arts Requirements

The Morse Academic Plan (MAP) of the Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development is an approach that immerses students in comparative, critical, exploratory, and interdisciplinary studies and seeks to build students' knowledge base through sequentially designed courses in the liberal arts.

Named for Samuel F. B. Morse (1791-1872), an early faculty member of the University who was an artist as well as a scientist and inventor, MAP exposes students to methods of analysis and forms of expression that are the bedrock of intellectual development in the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. Each major in NYUSteinhardt requires completion of some liberal arts courses through MAP. MAP requirements are tailored to complement coursework in the major and vary slightly by fields and programs of study.
MAP has four components:

• Expository Writing
• Foreign Language
• the Humanities/Social Science sequence called Foundations of Contemporary Culture (FCC)
• the Mathematics/Natural Science sequence called Foundations of Scientific Inquiry (FSI).

Expository Writing

NYUSteinhardt students must complete two courses in expository writing and pass the Writing Proficiency Examination.

Freshmen students who complete V40.0100, Writing the Essay, with a grade of "C" or better are certified as proficient, and are not required to sit for the exam. In addition, students must enroll in and successfully complete V40.0110, The Advanced College Essay: Education and the Professions.

Students enrolled in the Higher Education Opportunity Programs (HEOP) completing V40.0005 and V40.0006 (Prose Writing I and II) with grades of "C" or better are deemed proficient.

Transfer students entering the Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development must pass the Proficiency Examination administered by the Expository Writing Program. This exam determines whether additional coursework in Expository Writing will be required for proficiency certification and is given during orientation.

Transfer students who pass the examination and transfer in two courses in writing composition or the equivalent will not be required to complete additional course work in expository writing.

If the students pass and transfer in only one course, they will be required to complete V40.0100, Writing the Essay. The course, Writing the Essay, is significantly different from most writing courses students taken in two and four year colleges and provides the foundation for writing in the university.

If the students fail and have received transfer credit for either one or two courses in expository writing or the equivalent, they will be required to complete at least one expository writing course, V40.0013 (Writing Tutorial), or V40.0004 (International Writing Workshop 1) as determined by the Expository Writing Program.

Placement may vary depending on the writing issues present in the examination. Students who achieve a letter grade of "C" or above in Writing Tutorial are certified as proficient. Students who do not achieve a "C" or above must take the Proficiency Exam.

International Students completing V40.0004/V40.0009 (International Writing Workshop 1/International Writing Workshop 2) will take the proficiency examination at the end of their writing-course sequence. If the students fail, they will be required to complete one expository writing course, V40.0013, Writing Tutorial.

Foreign Languages

NYUSteinhardt students must complete the foreign language requirement of MAP as listed on their program of study. NYUSteinhardt students are not exempt from the foreign language requirement. American Sign Language courses may satisfy the foreign language requirement:

E64.0091, American Sign Language I
E64.0092, American Sign Language II
E64.0093, American Sign Language III
E64.0094, American Sign Language IV

Entering undergraduate students take foreign language proficiency examinations prior to their first registration. The results of these examinations do not exempt students from taking these courses but assist in determining the appropriate level of courses in these areas.

The placement examinations are required of undergraduate students who will register for any language with which they have prior experience (studied in high school, college or study abroad programs or who are bilingual or multilingual.

Examinations are available for

Arabic

Chinese (Cantonese, Mandarin)

French

Gaelic

If a placement examination is not offered, consult with the language department prior to registration.

Transfer students who have completed an advanced literature course taught in a foreign language at another institution and who wish to take additional literature courses taught in the same language must consult with an advisor in the appropriate language department prior to registering for such a course.

Foundations of Contemporary Culture

The Foundations of Contemporary Culture (FCC) sequence of the Morse Academic Plan is a series of four coordinated courses in the humanities and social sciences. Within each of the four offerings, students are free to pursue their particular interests through their choice of individual classes. The four courses are Conversations of the West, World Cultures, Societies and the Social Sciences, and Expressive Cultures. Overall, the structure of the FCC ensures that every student gains a common core of skills and experiences in the liberal arts.

In addition to the information on the Foundations of Contemporary Culture provided in the NYUSteinhardt undergraduate bulletin, detailed descriptions of each year's course offerings may be found on the MAP website at http://www.nyu.edu/cas/map/.

The liberal arts provide broad, general knowledge and develop students' theoretical understanding rather than particular or specific professional ability. Students are encouraged to enroll in courses of a general or theoretical nature that are designed to develop judgment and understanding about human beings' relationship to the social, cultural, and natural facets of their total environment.

Electives

Electives are students' choice of course work taken outside the core or liberal arts requirement, but should be discussed with his/her advisor. Certain restrictions must be observed and are outlined on the Program of Study. Electives may be listed under either of two categories:

Unrestricted Electives: General course permitted within the Program of Study
Restricted Electives: Specific courses outlined in the Program of Study

Specialization Requirements

General education or the liberal arts expose students to the breadth of knowledge and provides the framework for interdisciplinary inquiry. Specialization or major courses, on the other hand, presents the depth of knowledge in a discipline or field of study. Specialization courses concentrate on the skills or competencies that are required in the students' primary field of study.

Credit by Examination

The Advanced Placement Program (AP), International Baccalaureate Program (IB), and the results of some foreign maturity certificate examinations enable undergraduate students to receive credit toward the bachelor's degree on the basis of performance in college-level examinations or proficiency examinations related to the school's degree requirements, subject to the approval of the school. Please see the undergraduate bulletin for more information.

The Advanced Placement Program

NYUSteinhardt students may receive college credit toward their degree for test results of 5 or 4 depending on the subject examination. Students receiving credit toward their degree may not take the corresponding college-level course for credit. If they do, they will lose the Advanced Placement credit. The maximum number of transferable credits by examination shall not exceed a total of 32 for all applicants. For AP examination course equivalents, please click here.

Registration

STEP 1. Preliminary Considerations

A. The minimum number of credits for most degrees is 128, which assumes that the average enrollment will be 16 credits each semester. Undergraduate students may take up to 18 points each semester, but be careful not to overload during the first semester. Students must complete 32 credits per academic year to continue eligibility for financial aid and maintain good academic standing. Tuition for full-time study covers 12-18 credits.

B. In choosing a class schedule, it is helpful to consider your "time clock." Are you an early or late morning, afternoon, evening, or time-adaptable person? And remember to allot extra travel time if you are a commuter.

C. The goal is to create a balanced schedule; avoid "bunching" classes over a two-day span. A balanced schedule will allow time for class preparation and more thorough study, with more time for student activities and community service.

STEP 2. Begin Course Selection.

A. On the class schedule form, write in the course number for any course that has only one or two sections available. Other courses may then be scheduled around these time slots.

B. Be sure to include E03.0001 New Student Seminar.

C. Add V40.0100 Writing the Essay and include a Mathematics course, if required.

D. Do not repeat course work that is being considered for transfer credit. This includes Advanced Placement examinations and college courses that you took while in high school with letter grades of B or better. Students with Transfer Credit - Please see your advisor and the Office of Undergraduate Advisement & Registration Services, Joseph & Violet Pless Hall, 2nd floor, 212 998 5053, immediately, if you find yourself in courses you have taken before. Please note that you are allowed to add a course only up through the second week of the semester. You must inform your advisor and the Office of Undergraduate Advisement & Registration Services of the need to change your class schedule. You will not receive transfer credit for courses you are repeating at NYU Steinhardt. Copies of your course syllabi should be attached to your appeal for transfer credit.

STEP 3. Meet With Your Advisor.

A. Discuss your program and schedule with your advisor.

1. Upon approval by your advisor, complete the official Registration Worksheet.

2. The Registration Worksheet must be signed and dated by you and your advisor before registering online through Albert.

3. Your advisor retains a copy of your worksheet and you receive the original.

B. Fill out your Registration Worksheet.

1. Complete all spaces on the worksheet before logging on to Albert.

2. Use a separate line for each section of a course.

3. The Course ID is the letter "V" or "E", followed by six numbers. The letter
indicates which college offers the course. The first two numbers indicate the department; the last four identify the specific course.

4. The Section is comprised of three numbers placed immediately after the course ID. If laboratory and/or recitation sections are listed for the course, you must register for laboratory/recitation, as well.

5. The Title of Course can be found with appropriate abbreviations.

6. Use abbreviations to signify Days that the class meets (note that "R" = Thursday, "S" = Saturday, and "U" = Sunday).

7. Enter building and room number for Location, if assigned.

8. Enter the number of Credits listed for the course.

9. The Course Call Number is the 5-digit number that identifies each course/section. It is used for registration on Albert.

10. Access Codes indicate that certain courses require approval from the department prior to registration. If the listing contains the ">" symbol, contact the department offering the class for information regarding its access code.

11. Select alternate courses in case any first choices are closed at the time of registration.

STEP 4. Register For Classes.

A. Use the Albert online registration system by logging on to NYUHome using your net
ID, click on the "Academics" tab.

B. Once entered, you may access your schedule through NYUHome via Albert. Your
statement of tuition, fees, and financial aid is also available through Albert.

Frequently Asked Questions About Advisement and Registration

Advisement and registration are important and necessary aspects of the academic experience at NYU Steinhardt. You are assigned an academic advisor when you first enroll for classes. Your advisor will work together with you throughout your undergraduate years for an optimum educational experience. It is important to remember that the advisor/ advisee relationship is reciprocal; both parties play an important role in the advisement process. Please use the following information and the NYU Steinhardt Advisement page at www.steinhardt.nyu.edu/advisement to guide discussions with your advisor.

What is "Academic Advisement"?

• Academic advisement is the process that takes place when you meet with a faculty/ administrative advisor to review your academic progress, to discuss what courses are needed to complete degree requirements, and to receive advisor approval to register for the next term's courses.
• Please review your Advisement Worksheet for Undergraduate Students before each meeting with your advisor. Both student and advisor are expected to be active participants for advisement to work effectively. The Worksheet is a reminder of the expectations we hold for advisement and a self-evaluation of particular areas that may need discussion.

When should I be advised?

• You are first advised during new student orientation, and thereafter at least once every term until graduation. We encourage you to stay in touch with your advisor as frequently as you would like.

How will I know when it is time to be advised?

• You should make an appointment to see your advisor when you have received the email notifying you about your registration appointment.
• You may also check with your department. Please follow instructions carefully, especially concerning deadlines, since advisement requires coordinating your schedule with that of your advisor.

How do I make an appointment to see my advisor?

• Call your department. For the number, refer to the Undergraduate Bulletin or the department's website, accessible from www.steinhardt.nyu.edu.

What materials do I need for advisement?

•Registration Worksheet, to note your classes and obtain appropriate signatures.

• A copy of your transcript (an unofficial copy is available through Albert after your first registration).
• Advisement Worksheet for Undergraduate Students.
NOTE: These materials are available in your department, in the Office of Student Affairs, Pless Hall, 2nd Floor, or online at www.steinhardt.nyu.edu/students/forms. (See also Resources to Assist You with Course Selection.)

How should I prepare for advisement?

You will have several meetings with your advisor during your tenure at Steinhardt. Before each meeting, you should review your:
• Review your Advisement Worksheet for Undergraduate Students (www.steinhardt.edu/advisement)
• Review your Program of Study form
• Review your Projected four-year plan of study
• Draft your class schedule for the following semester.
• Jot down any questions you have to ensure they are addressed in the meeting(s) with your advisor.
• During Summer Orientation (the first time you are advised), sketch out for freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior years a draft of your plan of study
• Familiarize yourself with the degree requirements listed on your Program of Study and projected plan of study.
• Before seeing your advisor, prepare your schedule on a Registration Worksheet following that plan.
• Select course sections in the course schedule book and on Albert to create a workable schedule.
• Thus prepared, when you meet with your advisor, you can discuss your progress and make any necessary adjustments, rather than spending time on the mechanical selection of class times.

What is the timeline for advisement?

After you receive the email informing you of your registration appointment:
• Call your department to make an appointment to see your advisor.
• Gather advisement materials.
• Prepare your schedule using your notes, Albert, and course listings.
• Transcribe the information onto a Registration worksheet.
During the meeting with your advisor:
• Discuss your academic progress.
• Have your advisor sign your Albert registration form (advisor approval).
Your advisor:
• Checks your SIS records for problems.
• Enters advisor approval per the signatures on the registration form.

What is "Registration"?

• Registration is the process of adding courses to your schedule.

How do I register for courses at NYU?

• Registration is done online via Albert, on or after your Registration Appointment time.
• You register for courses by logging into Albert via your NYUHome Account.

What are SIS and Albert?

• SIS, the Student Information System, is the NYU computerized system containing your transcript, financial records, grades, degree progress, and personal information.
• Albert is a tool to access SIS. You can check, add, and change your financial, course, and personal information using Albert, accessible on the Academics page in NYUHome. NOTE: Please be sure that all contact information is correct and kept current in SIS through Albert, especially your cell phone number, emergency contact information, address, and expected term of graduation.

What is a "Registration Appointment"?

• Your registration appointment is the earliest time and date that you may register for classes for the following term.
• The closer you are to graduation, the earlier your registration appointment will be.
• The Registrar sets registration appointments according to earned credits.

How do I get my "Registration Appointment"?

• Around midterm, you will receive an email from the University Registrar, assigning you the day and time of your registration appointment.
• Remember, the registration appointment day/time is the earliest that you will be able to register, but not the only time.
• You may register any time on or after your registration appointment using Albert.

What do I need in order to register?

• A cell phone number and an emergency contact number must be entered on Albert prior to registration.
• Advisor's approval is needed to register for the next term's classes.
• You receive advisor approval during academic advisement, in the form of your advisor's signature on your completed Registration worksheet.
• Your advisor enters that approval into SIS, as the last step of academic advisement.

What if I can't register right after advisement due to financial aid delays?

• You do not have to register immediately after advisement.
• You must register before the term begins. You may only attend classes for which you are officially registered.
• It is to your advantage to be advised as soon as possible, and to register as soon as you can.
• Payment is not necessarily required at the time of registration.
• Please refer to Albert for tuition and housing payment deadlines.

What is the advantage of early advisement/registration?

• Early advisement and registration give you a better chance of getting the schedule of courses that you want.
• When you enroll in a course you are automatically enrolled in the Blackboard shell for that course, if it has one. Blackboard is an online course environment that faculty may use to supplement course instruction.

What are the potential disadvantages of late advisement/registration?

Late registration may prevent you from enrolling in courses you need to take because of:

• Course cancellation due to under-enrollment. Courses are cancelled if a required minimum number of students do not enroll. Under-enrolled classes can be cancelled weeks or months before a term begins. The only way the University knows that you want to take a course is if you register for it in advance.

• Closed courses. Many courses have enrollment limits, and close when they are full. Not all courses have wait-lists. If you are closed out of a course, you may petition the department offering the course to allow you to register for it, but permission cannot be guaranteed. Some classes have lab space or teaching limitations on size. If you are unable to enroll in the course, you must select an alternative course with the approval of your advisor.
