Registration Overview for New Spring into Tandon Students

Registering for classes is a multi-step process that takes many factors into consideration, and ultimately yields a combination of classes that reflect your intended major.

As a Spring into Tandon (SiT) student, you will work with the SiT advising team to be cleared for registration. Specific guidance on how to select and enroll in appropriate courses will be provided as you approach your start at the School of Engineering. Below is an overview of what you’ll need to complete in order to register.

Questions? Contact Spring into Tandon at springintotandon@nyu.edu.

Submit Your Tuition Deposit

This is the first step of the registration process, which not only signals your intent to pursue postsecondary education at the School of Engineering but also allows us to officially matriculate you into your academic program. 

Take the English-language Writing Placement Survey

If you are required to take the English-language writing placement survey, an online assessment, then you will be made aware of your status by email during the months preceding the enrollment period. Upon completing the survey, you will be notified of the writing class you will take in your first semester. You must finish the assessment before you can enroll in your writing class. 

Take the Math Diagnostic Exam

You must complete the math diagnostic exam, or qualify for the exemption process, in order to determine the class you will take in your first semester. The math diagnostic exam is an online assessment offered on various dates before the beginning of the semester. If you do not qualify for the exemption process, it will be necessary for you to register for and complete the math diagnostic exam during one of the August dates before the beginning of the registration period. Completing the diagnostic then will allow you to register for the appropriate math class during your initial enrollment activities. If you are not able to take the diagnostic before your enrollment date, you will leave space in your schedule for a math class as you register for other required courses during the start of the registration period, then go online after you complete the diagnostic to add math to your schedule. Register for the exam.

Submit Your Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) Scores

If you’ve earned credits as a result of an AP or IB exam and/or previous college experience, you may be exempt from certain first-year courses. Send such credit information to us by the deadline listed below. Request your AP score by contacting the College Board and send your scores to NYU (CEEB code: 2562). Review AP credit chart. For IB scores, please speak with your high school or contact the International Baccalaureate service to send your scores to NYU. Review IB credit chart.

Complete the Transfer Credit Evaluation Process

If you completed college courses while in high school, and want to have them evaluated for transfer credit, then you will be asked to submit course documents (i.e. syllabi and/or course descriptions) and an official transcript. Additional information about the transfer credit evaluation process will be emailed to you prior to the beginning of registration.

Complete the Community Standards Tutorial

As a member of the Tandon community, it is important for you to be aware of and understand the academic and behavioral expectations in place at NYU. The Community Standards module will cover the aforementioned topics, accessible online in NYU Classes. You must complete the module, in its entirety, as one of the preliminary steps in the registration clearance process.

Release Date: October 4th

Complete the Ed Tech Tools @ Tutorial

The Ed Tech Tools @ Tandon tutorial is an instructional package that highlights some of the digital platforms and tools you may use during your academic career. As a first-year student, you are required to complete the tutorial as a part of the registration clearance process.

Release Date: October 4th 

Watch the Pre-registration Tutorial

You are required to complete an online, instructional package in order to be cleared to enroll in classes by your academic advisor. This tutorial will provide you with information on your first-year courses, highlighting how they are connected to your intended major, while explaining how to select and enroll in the appropriate courses for your major. A quiz will be a part of this instructional experience, designed to reinforce the critical elements of the enrollment process.
