Credits completed previously at a regionally accredited college or university may be considered for transfer into McGhee. The NYU-SCPS Office of Admissions reviews the transcripts that you submit as part of the application process.  If you are admitted, then you will receive an initial transfer credit evaluation either with your admission package or when you meet with your Academic Advisor.

In order for credits to transfer, they must be from a regionally accredited institution, you must have received a “C” or better in the course, and they must fit within your program of study at McGhee.

NYU’s School of Continuing and Professional Studies accepts a maximum of 50 percent of the degree in transfer credits. For the bachelor’s degree, you may transfer in a maximum of 64 credits and for an associate’s degree the maximum transfer is 32 credits.

Yes. After you are admitted you will meet with an Academic Advisor, who will discuss if this is a good option for you.

Experiential learning is a great way to demonstrate how the college-level learning you have achieved through your life experience is equivalent to that of a specific course within your program of study. Students enroll in a two-credit Seminar in Experiential Learning to develop prior learning portfolios on a course-by-course basis. The seminar teaches you how to build a portfolio. You do not pay tuition for credits earned through the portfolio process.

Yes, the College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) is a way for students to earn college credit through standardized exams. The computer based tests typically cover the learning in introductory college courses in 26 subject areas. The McGhee Division offers college credit for most CLEP Subject Examinations. However, the McGhee Division does not accept every exam and it is important to discuss this option with your Academic Advisor before taking any exams after you are admitted.

We encourage you to apply for financial assistance when you apply for admission by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA is the only federal application needed to determine eligibility for financial aid. We encourage all eligible students to file the FAFSA, regardless of financial circumstances. You will not be considered for any financial assistance, including scholarships, unless you file the FAFSA. You may file the FAFSA at any time throughout the academic year, but keep in mind that processing may take several weeks. Therefore, we encourage you to file as early as possible. Additionally, filing the FAFSA electronically greatly expedites the process. The FAFSA may be filed online at www.fafsa.ed.gov . Please use NYU’s school code 002785 when submitting the FAFSA to ensure that NYU receives your application.
