IMA Courses
The IMA New York Fall 2023 course list is available on this site. This listing includes the IMA Category listing in the Categories.
Registration in Albert begins the week of April 24th. Please log into Albert to see your individual registration appointment time. IMA majors have priority registration for IMA courses although they will quickly open to other NYU students so do not delay in registering.
Every Fall semester, all first year students and new transfer students will need to enroll in the IMA Cohort class on Fridays from 12:20PM – 1:20PM in Brooklyn. Please make room in your schedule for this.
If you have issues with registration or Albert, please contact ima-advise@itp.nyu.edu or albert@nyu.edu
IMA Courses outside of IMA
For courses outside of IMA that may count towards required IMA electives please see the Interchange. This site is always a work in progress so if you come across or find courses that you think should count towards IMA courses please email ima-advise@itp.nyu.edu
The Interchange lists courses from many departments including Tisch’s Game Design, Tandon’s IDM, Tisch’s Open Arts, Steinhardt’s MCC, CAS’s Computer Science, Steinhardt’s Studio Art, and many other programs throughout the university. Each department has it’s 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 Fall 2023. They will all be listed with that category and further organized by the IMA category that they fulfill.
Finally, the Featured page on the Interchange lists courses that may be of particular interest to IMA students.
Important note: IMA students cannot take SPS courses for credit.
IMA Degree Progress Reports
IMA students can check their degree progress reports through Albert.
ITP Courses
IMA Juniors and Seniors may register directly in Albert for ITP courses. They will be available for registration on or around November 22nd.
Please do not count on any particular ITP course being open and fill out your schedule with alternate classes in advance of this.
AP Credits
We do not apply AP (or IB or advanced standing credits) automatically. You have to ask to have them applied to your transcript.
There are a variety of reasons for this mostly relating to Visas, Financial Aid and Graduation timing. Please contact us to discuss. Summer is a good time to take care of that.
NOTE: Many of these courses count for various requirements. Please make sure you are not taking a redundant class because you cannot get credit for an AP (or IB or advanced standing credits) and the class equivalent if you take it at NYU.

Advisement/Faculty Mentors
You have each been assigned a “faculty mentor”. This is a full time faculty member whom you are required to meet with. They are assigned to you to talk through your overall plans, trajectory, discuss classes, and so on.
These folks aren’t there for technical questions such as “will this class count for this?” For technical administrative or academic advising questions, please email ima-advise@itp.nyu.edu.
Transfer Students
Each Fall, all transfer students will register for the IMA Cohort class on Tuesdays from 5:20pm – 6:20pm. Please make room in your schedule for this.
Transfer students only need 1 first year writing class. If you took a second class, it will fall down into unrestricted electives.
We will share your individual “spreadsheet” with you that includes all of the classes you have taken so far and which requirement they fulfill. You can discuss this preliminary breakdown with an academic advisor to make sure you agree with the assessment.
