International Student Affairs

NYU-SCPS welcomes international students to our professional courses and certificate programs. If you are planning to pursue an SCPS continuing education certificate, or you are accepted into an SCPS diploma program, you should contact the department offering the program to get information regarding the appropriate visa. Please note that most SCPS continuing education certificate and diploma programs are not eligible for student (F-1) visas.

If you intend to study English as a Second Language full-time, SCPS offers the following services:

• Academic Counseling
• Housing
• Information
• Orientation Programs
• Field Trips
• Visa Counseling

If you are registering as a non-credit student in one of these programs, the first step to obtaining a visa is to contact the American Language Institute (ALI).

International students in the continuing education programs at SCPS may be eligible for financial assistance through the Comprehensive Access Loans sponsored by National City Bank. For more information, contact NYU's Office of Financial Aid.
