Weekend Workshops

Admissions & Application

Can I apply to multiple courses?

• Yes, you may apply to multiple courses. Please check the schedule for each course to verify they don’t conflict with each other.

How selective is the program?

• Weekend Workshop is a selective program. Students are expected to work at the same pace as college-aged students. Students offered admission typically have a B grade point average or higher.

Is there an application fee?

• No, the application is free. However, courses vary in tuition prices. After students are admitted, they will be registered for their selected course(s) and a tuition bill will be generated. Students must clear their balance before the first day of class.

Where do I send my official transcript or report card?

• A copy of your most recent report card or official transcript is required. The preferred method of submission is email. Please send attachments as PDF to sps.hsacademy@nyu.edu . Be sure to include your name in the email subject line.

When will I know my admissions decision?

• Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, which means we will review and act on complete applications as they are received. We encourage you to apply early, before the course you are interested in enrolling is filled to capacity.

What happens if the course I want is full?

• If your first choice is full (or closed), we will do our best to enroll you in a similar course or help you find another course of interest. Courses are available on a first-come, first-serve basis, so we encourage students to apply early.

Is financial aid available?

• Unfortunately, there is no financial aid available.

How do I cancel my application (or drop a course) if I can no longer attend the program?

• If you can no longer attend a High School Academy program, you must notify us in writing immediately by sending an email to sps.hsacademy@nyu.edu .

What is the refund policy?

• Course drop requests must be received in writing and emailed to sps.hsacademy@nyu.edu . Drop requests received before the second scheduled class, are entitled to a 100 percent tuition refund. After the second scheduled class, there is no refund.

Where will my classes be held?

• All classes will be held remotely, via Zoom. Enrolled students will receive their NYU Zoom class link one week prior to the start of class.

Will completing the program help me gain admission to NYU?

• Successful completion of any NYU Professional Studies High School Academy Course will add to your admissions profile, but participation in the High School Academy does not guarantee admission to NYU or to any other university.
