Courses Outside of IMA
For courses outside of IMA that may count towards required IMA electives or Liberal Arts electives, please see the IMA Interchange. To check on the course categories, please review the info on this page: New Allocations.
The Interchange lists courses from many programs throughout the University, including Tisch’s Game Design, Tandon’s IDM, Tisch’s Open Arts, Steinhardt’s MCC, CAS’s Computer Science, Steinhardt’s Studio Art. Each department has its own procedures for registering so if there is a question, please contact the individual department for registration instructions.
When using the Interchange, please be sure you are looking at classes that are offered in Spring 2025. Classes will all be listed with that category and further organized by the IMA category that they fulfill. The Featured page lists courses that may be of particular interest to IMA students.
Important Note:
IMA students cannot take SPS courses for credit.
ITP Courses
IMA Juniors and Seniors may register directly in Albert for ITP courses. These will be available for registration after ITP registration. You can find more info on the ITP Non-Major Registration Page. Please do not count on any particular ITP course being open and fill out your schedule with alternate classes in advance of this.
IMA Faculty Mentors & IMA Advisement
You have each been assigned a “Faculty Mentor” and this is a full time faculty member whom you should to meet with. They are assigned to you to talk through your overall plans, trajectory, career path, IMA course recommendations, and interests. They do not handle the technical advising processes in Albert or tracking course allocations.
Our “IMA-Advise“ team is here to help you answer more academic or technical questions, such as “will this class count for this category,” “I’m having problems with Albert,” “is my DPR correct,” “am I on track with my courses and credits,” or “I need to transfer in credits.” For administrative or academic advising questions, please email ima-advise@itp.nyu.edu or you can schedule a meeting with us through NYU Connect.
Transfer Student Advising
We will share your individual advising “spreadsheet” with you that includes all of the classes you have taken so far and which requirement they fulfill. You can email or setting an appointment with IMA-Advise to discuss.
IMA Degree Progress Reports
You can check your Degree Progress Report through Albert.
IMA-Advise will also share your individual advising “spreadsheet” with you that includes all of the classes you have taken so far and which requirement they fulfill. You can email or setting an appointment with IMA-Advise to discuss.
Important NOTE:
You should receive your updated advising spreadsheets by October 25th.
AP, IB, & Advanced Standing Credits
We do not apply AP, IB, or Advanced Standing credits automatically. You have to ask to have them applied to your transcript.
You can begin the process of transferring your credits once you are a Sophomore (or have completed your 1st year). There are a variety of reasons for this mostly relating to Visas, Financial Aid, and Graduation timing. Please contact us to discuss.
Important NOTE:
Many of these courses count for various requirements. Please make sure you are not taking a repetitive class because you cannot get credit for an AP, IB or Advanced Standing credit or the class equivalent if you take the credits at NYU. You can transfer a max of 32 credits and only 8 credits will count towards Liberal Arts Elective credits.
