Cross-Registration Form — Graduate
Graduate students enrolled in other NYU graduate programs may request enrollment in CSE courses for up to 3 credits per semester, provided they have obtained the approval of their graduate program advisor. It is the students’ responsibility to consult with their academic advisor to ensure that the courses they plan to take satisfy the degree requirements in their program, and to obtain approval to enroll in Computer Science courses via the CSE cross-registration form.
Process for Fall 2026 Graduate cross-registration:
- Discuss cross-registration with your department advisor and submit your request via the Request Form
- The form will be open for responses beginning June 17th, 2026 at 12PM.
- The CSE department will begin processing requests in order of receipt starting August 10th, 2026.
- Decisions will be made based on the availability of seats at the time of review. There is no guarantee that permission will be given for any course.
- The Deadline to submit a Cross-Registration Request is August 16th at 11:59 PM EST. The form will not be available after this deadline, and all requests received after this deadline will be DENIED.
Advisors, if you do not have access to the request spreadsheet, please contact csegradadvising@nyu.edu. You will need to indicate through the request spreadsheet whether your department has approved your student to take the CS-GY course. The CSE department will then indicate whether the request is granted and a seat is allocated through a response email generated from the cross-registration spreadsheet. Department advisors are required to inform their students whether a seat has been assigned or not.
Cross-Registration Form — Undergraduate
Undergraduate students enrolled in other NYU undergraduate programs may request enrollment in CSE undergraduate courses. It is the student's responsibility to consult with their academic advisor if the courses they plan to take satisfy degree requirements in their program, and to obtain approval to enroll in Computer Science courses via the CSE cross-registration form.
Beginning August 24, 2026 you can fill out CSE Undergraduate Cross Registration Form - Fall 2026 to request a seat in courses in the Computer Science and Engineering Department at NYU Tandon School of Engineering.
*We do not guarantee enrollment in our courses. We STRONGLY recommend students register for alternate courses in the meantime.

Skills Verification Letter Request
Students may request a letter verifying various skills acquired during their degree program. This may occur when students are seeking a United States work visa or working with an immigration attorney on a permanent residency petition.
The steps for CSE alumni to obtain a skill verification letter are as follows:
A graduated student, (either Undergraduate or Master’s) needs to submit this form: CSE Skill Verification Letter Request Form. If you do not upload an official transcript as instructed on the form, your information must first be verified in Albert which will add to our processing time.
The letter will be prepared and sent to the appropriate department representative. Once the letter has been reviewed to determine whether the skills listed were actually gained in our program, the reviewing faculty will certify that the student successfully completed specific course(s) and that the topics/skills to be verified are mentioned in the course description/syllabus. Once completed, the skills verification letter will be returned to the student. The processing time for this is two to three weeks.
Note: we do not confirm either expertise or experience and skills will be verified only for those courses which lead to degree conferral.
