Course Registration
Tuition Refund POLICY
Students making changes to their course schedules must be aware of the Tuition Refund Schedule. During the Drop/Add period, it is students' responsibility to drop any courses that they do not intend to complete; non-attendance does not automatically withdraw a student. Similarly, it is students' responsibility to monitor their progress on any waitlists. Students who are added into a course off a waitlist after the semester has begun will be charged tuition and fees for that course if they do not drop the additional credits on the same day that they have been added to the new course.
Registration fees are non-refundable after the first day of the semester.

The Tuition Refund Schedule in summer is greatly compressed.

Petition for Refund
Under extenuating circumstances (e.g. documented medical emergency), students may petition for a refund of tuition. [Service fees are non-refundable.] Students may contact their program's administrator or the Director of Academic Services to discuss the petition. Petitions should be submitted electronically to wagner.studentservices@nyu.edu to be reviewed by committe.
NOTE FOR SUMMER SESSION ONLY: The Registrar's Office will automatically de-enroll all students carrying a tuition balance. For summer payment deadline please consult the Bursar's Office webpage. Once a student is de-enrolled, s/he will need to contact the Director of Academic Services to re-register for classes and receive a late registration fee waiver. All summer students are urged to ensure full payment of tuition before the start of classes to avoid being de-enrolled.
