Inter-University Engineering Doctoral Consortium

Inter-University Engineering Doctoral Consortium

The Inter-University Engineering Doctoral Consortium (IUEDC) offers eligible doctoral students the opportunity to take graduate courses at distinguished universities throughout the greater New York area without additional tuition. Established in 2023, the IUEDC offers students an enormous array of courses and opportunities for contact with faculty and other students in their fields.

The IUEDC is open to doctoral students from participating schools in good academic standing who have completed at least one year of full-time study toward the Ph.D. and have obtained written approval from their home and host institutions.

We will be accepting IUEDC registration for Spring 2025 starting December 2, 2024. We are processing IUEDC forms via email. Students must use the writable pdf IUEDC form on this page and their official home institution email address. No handwritten forms or non-school email addresses will be accepted.

Participating schools include:

• New York University, NYU Tandon School of Engineering
• The City College of New York’s Grove School of Engineering (New York,NY)
• Columbia Engineering (New York, NY) 
• Cornell Tech (New York, NY)
• New York Institute of Technology College of Engineering and Computing Sciences (Old Westbury, NY, and New York, NY) 
• Princeton University School of Engineering and Applied Science (Princeton, NJ)
• Rutgers University School of Engineering (Piscataway, NJ)
• Stevens Institute of Technology Charles V. Schaefer Jr. School of Engineering and Science (Hoboken, NJ)
• Stony Brook University College of Engineering and Applied Sciences (Stony Brook, NY)

Terminal masters students and doctoral students not enrolled in the participating schools/divisions are not eligible. Only courses offered and conducted during either the fall or spring term may be applied for, and each institution may give preference to its own students when enrollment is limited. Once all necessary approvals have been obtained, students will register for courses at both their home institution and the host institution. Please note that tuition and fees are paid to the home institution, but students will be responsible to their host institutions for any lab fees if applicable.

Each student participating in the Consortium will be entitled to graduate student library privileges at the host institution during the semester such student is registered (consortium students may not be entitled to any of the other benefits and privileges of being a student at the host institution.) Each student participating in the Consortium shall abide by all policies and regulations of the host institution. The host institution shall have the right to terminate the participation of any student in the Consortium, and in any other program, service, or benefit of the host institution, at any time if such student's academic work or behavior is not suitable or if such student violates any policies of the host institution or applicable laws or regulations.

Registration Instructions for NYU Tandon Students

Complete the Inter-University Engineering Doctoral Consortium Registration Form.

Fill out all areas of the form clearly and legibly for accurate registration and grade reporting. Be sure that you have provided your full address, including zip code, as well as a phone number and email address at which the host school can reach you in addition to all course information

Obtain signatures in the following order only (signatures will not be given out of order):

1. NYU Tandon Academic Advisor
2. NYU Tandon IUEDC Consortium Administrator
3. Host School Course Instructor
4. Host School IUEDC Consortium Administrator

You must obtain all four signatures before proceeding.

Give one copy of the completed form to both the home school and host school IUEDC administrators.  Be sure to keep one copy for yourself.

Register at both schools

At NYU Tandon – Register in Albert for one section of the NYU Tandon consortium "dummy" course, CONS-GY 1, for each course you are taking through the IUEDC in the term. Be sure to register for exactly the same number of credits as the course is worth at the host school.

At Host School – It is your responsibility to find out about registration procedures specific to the host institution.

Please Note: All registration at NYU must be completed by the end of the Add/Drop period for the term.

Tuition is calculated by and paid to NYU Tandon only. If you need to drop your IUEDC course, please be sure to drop both the consortium "dummy" course at NYU Tandon as well as the real course at the host school.

Member schools send each other final grades approximately four weeks after the end of each semester. If you have completed your course and your grade has been posted at the host school by that time you need not do anything else to get your grade at NYU. If you have not completed your course or your grade has not been posted by the time of the grade exchange, then it is your responsibility to take actions that will get your grade to Tandon. In such cases, once a grade has been posted at the host school, contact the host school IUEDC Administrator and request that a transcript be sent to the NYU IUEDC Administrator. The host school IUEDC Administrator will then have a new transcript sent to NYU at no cost to you. Host school rules on course completion apply, so if you do take an incomplete for a course, be sure you are familiar with those rules if you do not intend to complete the course right away.

Send your form to the NYU Tandon IUEDC Administrator only after having obtained the first 3 signatures. NYU will accept an email from the course instructor which gives explicit permission to join the class in lieu of a physical signature. The other two permissions must be physical signatures. Instructor permission to join a class does not constitute guaranteed enrollment in the course. Visiting students may be denied enrollment or placed on a wait list if the course is closed. You will be contacted if there is a registration issue.

You must email your form as a pdf file to Ms. Racquel Cooper at racquel@nyu.edu. Once we have finished with the form, you will be notified by email. We attach important information to your form that we want to be sure you have seen. Due to FERPA regulations, we will only email your form to your home school email address.

Information will be attached to your approved IUEDC form concerning obtaining an NYU ID card, which will in turn allow you to gain access to NYU Home and the NYU Brightspace system. All registration at NYU Tandon must be completed by the end of the Add/Drop Period for the semester.

If you need to drop your IUEDC course, please contact the NYU Tandon IUEDC Administrator. If you want to drop after the Add/Drop period, you will receive a W grade for withdrawal. You may only withdraw from your course before the NYU published withdrawal deadline. After that you will receive a final grade.

We will send your grade to your home school approximately four weeks after the end of the term in which you took your course. If you have not received a grade at NYU by that time, please contact the NYU Registrar's office at transcripts@nyu.edu when your grade has been posted in our Albert system, and they will send your transcript to your home school. At NYU, all incompletes must be resolved by 180 days from the end of the term in which you took the course.
