J-Term Information

• Academic Credit

  Academic Credit

  All NYUAD J-Term courses are four credits. Academic credit for these courses is treated like any other credit awarded for coursework at NYU. The NYUAD J-Term courses will be recorded on the student’s NYU transcript, and the final grades from such courses will be calculated into a student’s NYU grade point average (GPA). It is your responsibility to work with your academic advisor and major department to determine whether and how a course might count towards your degree requirements.

• Selection Process

  Selection Process

  Selection for any NYUAD J-Term course is based on a student’s academic record, the strength of the application, academic preparation for, and suitability of the chosen program. The Office of Global Education at NYUAD reviews the applications and selects the students.

  IMPORTANT: Please note the following guidelines before submitting an application:

  1. Students on academic or disciplinary probation are not eligible for participation in NYUAD J-Term courses.
  2. Students who at the time of application have not completed at least two semesters at NYU New York or NYU Shanghai are not eligible for participation in NYUAD J-Term courses.
  3. Due to logistical constraints, some NYUAD J-Term classes are open only to students from NYU Abu Dhabi. They are marked accordingly in Albert.
  4. Late arrivals or early departures from J-Term classes are not allowed. Students should review the Academic Calendar to ensure there are no time conflicts.
     
• Application Information

  The J-Term 2020 application is now open. The application deadline is October 15 and placements will be announced by October 25.
  

  NYU New York and NYU Shanghai students are welcome to apply to take a J-Term course offered by NYU Abu Dhabi. The application process for J-Term 2020 will take place in fall 2019.
  

  Enrollment in the NYUAD J-Term courses is limited so participating students can fully benefit from the advantages of small-size, seminar-style classes. As a result, the selection process is very competitive.

  Tuition and other fees apply to all J-Term 2020 courses.  Financial aid is not available from NYU Abu Dhabi but may be available from your home school. If you have questions about financial aid, please contact the Financial Aid Office at your home campus.

  If you have questions about the application process, please contact nyuad.globaleducation@nyu.edu.
