Tisch may award advanced standing credit for approved standardized tests such as Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), certain Maturity Certificate Examinations, and for college courses taken while the student was in high school. Please see below for limitations and a full explanation regarding each type of credit.
For students who entered Tisch in Fall 2020 or later, advanced standing credit will not be automatically posted to the NYU transcript upon admission. Instead, at the end of the first academic year, and after consulting with their adviser, students may elect to post these advanced standing credits.
The total number of advanced standing credits a student may receive cannot exceed 32.
Once a student elects to post advanced standing credits on the NYU transcript, they will become a part of the permanent academic record and cannot be removed.
Advanced standing credit will count toward the total earned credits for graduation and may accelerate the student's time to graduation. Students should consider both the academic and financial impact of applying advanced standing credit. Students receiving financial aid should be aware that they may not be eligible for aid in excess of 128 credits. For more information about financial aid and advanced standing credit, contact the Office of Financial Aid.
