More Registration Details…
IMA Courses
The IMA New York Fall 2024 course list is available on IMA Course Listings site. This listing includes the IMA Category listing in the “Categories” section.
Registration in Albert begins April 15th (view and add to your calendar). Please log into Albert to see your individual registration appointment time. You can see class-specific dates and other important term deadlines for this semester on this page
IMA majors have priority registration for IMA courses although these courses will open to other NYU students 1 week after registration begins. Please do not delay in registering and if you have issues with registering in Albert, please contact us.
Department consent holds for IMA courses will be cleared by the official registration date.
Courses Outside of IMA
For courses outside of IMA that may count towards required IMA electives, please see the IMA 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 contact us.
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 Fall 2024. 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. They will be available for registration on June 18th. 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 are required to meet with. They are assigned to you to talk through your overall plans, trajectory, career path, course recommendations, and interests. They do not handle the technical advising processes in Albert or tracking course allocations.
Our IMA Advisement 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,” 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 discuss this preliminary breakdown with an academic advisor to make sure you agree with the assessment.
IMA Degree Progress Reports
You can check your Degree Progress Report through Albert.
IMA Advisement 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 discuss this preliminary breakdown with an academic advisor to make sure you agree with the assessment.
Important NOTE:
We are working on all advising spreadsheets. If you have not yet received your spreadsheet, you will be emailed as soon as we complete your sheet.
AP, IB, and 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. The summer is a best time to take care of that.
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 and 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.
