How to determine if a job or internship can be used to satisfy the Professional Experience Requirement (PER)

Your PER position must be directly relevant to your career goals as well as your degree program and specialization. The role must provide opportunities to practically apply the skills and knowledge gained through your coursework and to gain the skills and knowledge needed to compete for employment in your field of interest.

How do I get off a course waitlist?

Courses occasionally have waitlists. If you place yourself on a waitlist, remember that the next eligible person on waitlist is automatically enrolled when a space opens up in the course.

How do I Add/Drop a course after the Albert period is closed?

After the Add/Drop deadline on Albert, students may not add or withdraw from a course via Albert. Instead Wagner’s Academic Services department must complete and sign an Program Change Form for the student, which the student must then deliver to the Registrar’s window at the NYU Student Services Center (25 W. 4th Street).
 

I am a new student and I work full-time at a position that’s relevant to my degree program, but I was not waived from PER. Can I appeal this decision?

In order to fulfill the NYU Wagner professional experience requirement prior to enrollment, students must enter the program with at least two years of full-time, degree-relevant professional experience.
