J-Term Application for NYU New York and Shanghai Students

The J-Term 2020 application process is now closed. The application deadline was October 15. Placements will be announced via email by October 25, 2019.

This application is for undergraduate students from NYU New York and NYU Shanghai interested in taking an NYU Abu Dhabi January Term course.

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.

Before you apply, we encourage you to learn more about NYU Abu Dhabi.

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

Students on academic or disciplinary probation are not eligible for participation in NYUAD J-Term courses.
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.
Due to logistical constraints, some NYUAD J-Term classes are open only to students from NYU Abu Dhabi. They are marked accordingly in Albert.

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 the application process, please contact nyuad.globaleducation@nyu.edu.

See J-Term with NYU Abu Dhabi for information about the program.
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.
NYU New York and NYU Shanghai students approved to take an NYUAD J-Term course away from their home campus will be sent pre-departure materials by email. These materials will also be available online.
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.

Please see the J-Term Program Fees page.

Please review the J-Term 2020 Calendar and make sure you can commit to these dates. Late arrivals or early departures from J-Term classes are not allowed.
Tuition and other fees apply for enrollment in all J-Term courses. Please review the applicable J-Term 2020 Fees carefully before you apply.
PLEASE NOTE: The application process for J-Term is very competitive and places in courses are limited.
