Visiting and Exchange Students

Visiting students are degree-seeking students at another college or university who enroll at The New School for a semester or year, but plan to return to their home institution afterward. Visiting students are charged full New School tuition and relevant fees and are not eligible for financial aid or scholarships. Students should check with their home institutions regarding eligibility to transfer credits earned at The New School toward their degree. Requirements for admission as well as the application are available on the Visiting Students admission webpage.

Priority Deadlines:

• Fall semester, New York campus (late August to mid-December): May 15 priority deadline; application closes June 15

• Fall semester, Parsons Paris campus (late August to mid-December): April 26 priority deadline 

• Spring semester, New York and Paris campuses (late January to mid-May): October 15 priority deadline

Exchange students participate in an exchange program established by mutual agreement between The New School and a partner institution. Students take classes at the host institution of the exchange program to earn credit toward their degree at their home institution. Exchange students may enroll in classes approved for the exchange program only, unless otherwise permitted. Exchange students register for a full course load of study for a semester or possibly an academic year and are charged tuition by their home institution. Exchange students must be nominated by their home institution in order to be invited to apply for admission into an exchange program. Students should check with their home institution regarding their eligibility and suitability for participation in an exchange program as well as eligibility of transfer credits earned at the host institution toward their degree at the home institution. 

A student who wishes to matriculate into The New School as a degree-seeking student after attending as a visiting, exchange, or non-degree student must file the appropriate application. Enrollment as a visiting, exchange, or non-degree student does not guarantee future admission to The New School.
