If approved to take courses as a non-matriculated/non-degree student, will I be eligible for financial aid? : Non-matriculated/non-degree students are not eligible for financial aid.

If I am approved and enroll in prerequisite courses as a non-matriculated/non-degree student, will these prerequisites courses be accepted by other colleges and universities? : If you are interested in taking prerequisite courses through NYU Meyers to fulfill prerequisite requirements at another college or university, you will want to follow up with each college/university to see if they will accept our course(s).

I have not earned a bachelor’s degree. Am I eligible to apply to take courses as a non-matriculated/non-degree visiting student at NYU Meyers? : Yes, applicants for non-matriculated/non-degree visiting status who are currently pursuing or plan to pursue an undergraduate degree at an accredited college or university and individuals who have already earned a bachelor’s degree but are interested in completing prerequisites at the undergraduate level may apply.

Will completing prerequisite requirements as a non-matriculated/non-degree visiting student at NYU Meyers increase my chance of admission to the 15-month accelerated BS program? : A grade of C or better must be achieved to qualify for the NYU Meyers' 15-month accelerated BS program. Ideal candidates would have cumulative undergraduate GPAs that are above a 3.0 and prerequisite grades that are A's and B's (regardless of where they were completed). All application materials are thoroughly reviewed.

Completing the prerequisite requirements and doing very well in them (As and high Bs) at NYU would certainly support one’s application for admission but will not increase the overall chance of admission.
