Please note the following:

• During pre-registration, students select their preferred class sections. Registration is processed on a first come-first serve basis – timestamps apply as always.
• Students will receive confirmation of their enrollment and class schedule following pre-registration. Date of enrollment confirmation: TBA
• Submitting pre-registration does not guarantee you will be officially registered for your preferred class or section.
• Second-year MFA students will be pre-enrolled in the Thesis II section of their current advisor. During pre-registration and Add/Drop, students will be able to request a different advisor.
• “Instructed” means the instructor is present in the classroom; “uninstructed” means that you are in the class without the instructor – both sessions are mandatory. Students must take the uninstructed session that matches the instructed session.
• Students may NOT register for courses with conflicting sessions regardless of whether the conflict is between instructed and/or uninstructed sessions.
• You will need your @student.nyaa.edu email to login to the new portal and register for classes.
• Syllabi & material lists will be posted as they become available: Syllabi.
• Students carrying a tuition balance from previous semesters will not be permitted to register for classes. Please check with accounting to ensure your account is paid in full. For more details and full policies, please see the student handbook.
• Please consult the student handbook for more details on Academy policies.

Changing sections, adding or withdrawing from classes is only permitted during the Add/Drop period at the beginning of each semester. The Add/Drop deadline is listed on the Academy’s academic calendar. Such changes are subject to course availability, fulfillment of prerequisites and class enrollment. Please login to your Academy portal account to view and change your schedule.

Classes dropped during the approved period will not appear on the student’s transcript. Students may withdraw after the deadline only with approval from the Registrar and the Faculty Committee (for MFA Students) or the CFA Subcommittee (for CFA students). Students who withdraw from a class after the second week of the semester deadline with approval will not have a withdrawal recorded on their transcript. Students who do not receive approval for withdrawal from a class will receive a grade of “UW” (Unofficial Withdrawal) on their transcript, which is factored as an “F” (Failure) in grade point average calculation.

If you are not available to register at this time, you may appoint a proxy to register for you. Please email your proxy’s name and email address to Sarah Sager ssager@nyaa.edu.

If a class section has reached maximum enrollment, students requesting enrollment will be placed on the waitlist. Please review the student handbook for full policy information and waitlist FAQs.

WAITLIST FAQs

• WHAT IS A WAITLIST?

If a class has reached the maximum enrollment, you are added to its waitlist. If there is “Waitlist” under the Crds section of your class schedule, you are not enrolled in the class – you are on the waitlist. Seats may become available in the class during the Add/Drop period. Classes and/or sections may only be changed during the official Add/Drop period. Requests MUST be submitted in writing using the online Add/Drop form. Changes MUST be approved by the Registrar.

• How will I know if a seat becomes available?

If a seat becomes available and you are next on the waitlist, the Registrar will notify you by email. We will ask if you are interested in registering for a seat in the class. Spots only become available if a registered student chooses to drop.

• When will I be called off the wait list?

You are called off of the waitlist in the order you were added. If you are third on a waitlist, three people need to drop the class for you to register. We will email you as soon as a seat is available. If you have not received an email from the registrar, a seat is not available.

• If I’m called off the wait list, how long do I have to respond?

We ask that students who receive notification of an available seat reply to the Registrar’s Office within 24 hours to either confirm or refuse the seat. We ask that you respond as quickly as possible, as there are often other people on the waitlist.

• If I haven’t been called, should I attend a class I’m on the wait list for?

It is the Academy’s policy that you MUST attend all the classes you are officially registered for until you receive official written notification from the Registrar that your class and/or section change has been approved. You may sit in on a class for which you are waitlisted ONLY if it does not conflict with your class schedule. If you chose to sit in on a class, this does not mean that you are registered for the class. Students who sit in on a class but are not called off the wait list must stop attending the class after the second session.

• How Long Should I Wait to Hear?

Waitlists for classes are maintained through the Add/Drop Period. After the Add/Drop Period has ended, the wait list is no longer in affect; students are not allowed to change classes. If you are on a waitlist and you do not receive an email from the Registrar prior to the end of the Add/Drop Period, no students dropped the class in order for you to be called.

• Is it possible to get instructor permission to join a course?

In any course with a waitlist, available seats must be offered to the students on the waitlist in the order of timestamp received. Instructors CANNOT give permission for a specific student to join a class that already has a waitlist.
