Aid for Study Away, J-Term, and Summer

Study Away

The NYU tuition, NYUAD Student health insurance, and Insurance VAT charges will be the same as if you were studying in Abu Dhabi when you enroll at an NYU global site for your study away semester.

Your NYUAD grant (if applicable) for the semester away will apply towards your university charges the same way as if you were studying in Abu Dhabi. Students are responsible for any charges not covered with their financial aid.

It is important to note that some of the costs, while studying away, may be more than when you are studying in Abu Dhabi. Such differences may be in your NYU housing/food and/or travel costs. For planning purposes we recommend that you review the Study Away Costs Estimates for each NYU global site from the NYU Office of Global Programs.

We also advise students to contact the NYUAD Office of Global Education at nyuad.studyawaysupport@nyu.edu for questions regarding the study away process.

Required J-Term (January/June) Sessions

These are classes that NYU Abu Dhabi students must enroll in to meet their degree requirements. These are NYU Abu Dhabi classes, though the course might be taught abroad at the various NYU sites. Only NYU Abu Dhabi students are eligible to enroll in these classes. NYUAD tuition, program fee, and on-campus housing and meals* (food) will be covered by NYU Abu Dhabi for your required J-Term session(s) as determined by your degree requirements.

Summer Study in Abu Dhabi

These are the classes offered by NYU Abu Dhabi during the summer session that must be on campus. NYUAD tuition and on-campus housing and meals* (food) will be covered for one Abu Dhabi-based summer class. Additional summer terms may be supported based on demonstrated academic need as determined by Academic Affairs.

* In accordance with the Federal Decree Law No (8) of 2017, a Value Added Tax (VAT) will be applied to the Meals charge at the rate of 5%. Students who receive partial financial aid during the fall and spring semesters will be responsible to cover the VAT charges during any given semester, including J-Term and summer.

Summer Study Away

These are classes during the summer session that are abroad and are offered by other NYU schools. NYU Abu Dhabi does not offer grant aid for summer classes abroad that are offered by other NYU schools.
