International Student Information

International Students interested in Tandon Summer Programs are required to have...

  1. A student visa such as the F-1 of J-1. B-1/B-2 or ESTA visas are not permitted. NYU’s Office of Global Services will be able to assist incoming students with obtaining their visas. (see Visa Information)
  2. Proof of English Language Proficiency (see English Testing Requirements)
 

If English is not your native language, you may be asked to show your proficiency by taking one of the following tests (results must be from the last two years):

  • TOEFL iBT (Test of English as a Foreign Language Internet-Based Test)

  • IELTS Academic (International English Language Testing System)

  • PTE Academic (Pearsons Test of English Academic)

  • C1 Advanced or C2 Proficiency (Cambridge English: Advanced or Proficiency)

  • iTEP (International Test of English Proficiency). We will accept results from the in-person or online version. 

  • Duolingo (Duolingo English Test) 

We do not accept results from the IELTS Indicator, the TOEFL ITP Plus for China, TOEFL Essentials, or the PTE Academic Online.

Scores can be self-reported on the application or sent directly from the testing agency. If you are sending scores from the testing agency, follow the below instructions:

For the TOEFL iBT, use NYU's code 2562.

For the IELTS Academic, search for "New York University" and release results to Undergraduate Admissions as opposed to one of our schools or colleges. Similarly, for the PTE Academic, C1 Advanced and C2 Proficiency, select "New York University" as opposed to one of our specific NYU schools or colleges. Searching for "NYU" will not return any results; you must search using our official name.

For the Duolingo English Test, please follow the instructions outlined in Duolingo's "How do I send my Duolingo English Test results to institutions?" documentation to send your score to NYU for free.

 

Who is exempt from English language proficiency testing?

Exemptions will be given in the following circumstances: 

  • English is your first/primary language

  • You already completed (at the time of application submission) three or more consecutive academic years in a curriculum where the only language of instruction was English

If the last option applies to you, you will be able to submit a copy of a transcript that shows at least 3 full years of instruction at a school taught solely in English as part of your application. 

If you are currently residing in the U.S. and attend an English-speaking school, you qualify for the programs, even if you are not a U.S. citizen.

 

Do you have a minimum score requirement? 

We do not have any minimum test score requirements, but competitive applicants will receive:

  • 100 and above on the TOEFL iBT 

  • 7.5 and above on the IELTS Academic 

  • 70 and above on the PTE Academic 

  • 191 and above on the Cambridge English Scale 

  • 4.5 and above on the iTEP

  • 125 and above on the Duolingo English Test

Please note that NYU advises against a B-1/B-2 visa or Visa Waiver (ESTA) for international students. If you require NYU sponsorship for a visa, only F-1 or J-1 is advised. International students who are admitted will receive further instructions about applying for an I-20 in order to secure their student visa via email after accepting their spot.

Please note that international students currently studying in the US (at NYU or at another academic institution) who currently are in a F-1 or J-1 visa status are not required to submit additional visa documentation in order to participate in an NYU summer program, unless they need to transfer their SEVIS record to NYU.  Please contact OGS at newinternationalstudents@nyu.edu directly if this is the case.

Upon arrival in the United States, all international students must participate in an International Student Check-In with the NYU Office of Global Services (OGS), which may be virtual or in-person, in order to be in compliance. Prior to the start of your program, you will receive information from OGS about the check-in process.  

At NYU, Student Health Insurance is required for F-1 and J-1 students. International students receiving a student visa from NYU are automatically enrolled in and billed for NYU’s health insurance plan. Students participating in a program on the Washington Square campus are enrolled in the comprehensive health insurance plan, but have the option to downgrade to the basic policy if eligible.

To downgrade your Health Insurance plan, students must contact the NYU Student Health Center to see if they are eligible. For more information, they can also visit the Student Health Center website. Please note that the deadline to downgrade coverage for the summer will be on or around June 5, 2024.

Insurance fees are listed below under the additional fees section. 

In addition to tuition and living expenses, international students on an NYU-sponsored visa will also be assessed the following charges.

  • I-20 Processing Fee: $50

  • DS-160 Processing Fee: $160

  • SEVIS Fee: $350 (F-1 visas) or $220 (J-1 visas)

  • Student Health Insurance: $93.00 per week (summer term rate)

  • NYU International Student Fee: $90

    • Note: The DS-160 and SEVIS fees are US government fees and not NYU fees.

       

 

Parents

Hello parents!  We hope the information we provide here and via email to students is helpful as they prepare for study at NYU.  As a parent, the best thing you can do to assist your student with preparations is to discuss the summer with one another. 

Conversations about what to expect while studying at NYU, experiencing life as a college student, and living in New York City can be immensely helpful. Too often, students arrive on campus with little information or idea of what they need to do or what their experience will involve while they are here, because parents take the reins on preparations.  We encourage you, if you are taking the lead on your student’s to-do list, to push your student to take on tasks and read information.  It will be good practice for when they are going off to college and in charge of their own education in a few years, and it will help them get the most out of their NYU experience.
It is NYU policy that information be sent directly to students via email, so be sure to have your student check and read email on a regular basis.

All website information may be helpful to you, but the following are highlights for parents:
