Registration Requirements

There are elective and concentration info sessions offered prior to registration to learn more about courses students can choose from. Check the school calendar for dates for these information sessions.

Each student must meet with their academic advisor prior to registration in order to discuss course selections for the coming semester. Each student will complete the Course Selection Worksheet and meet with Student Affairs for final review. Before registration opens be sure to check your CUNYfirst account to ensure all holds are cleared and you can navigate the system. More information on registering can be found on our website.

All students are required to be in status each semester. This means that students must either be registered for a course of study or be on an approved leave of absence. Individuals who are not in status will be considered withdrawn from the Newmark J-School.

Registration information is given out at orientation to new students. Information for subsequent semesters will be available during informational meetings, or through the Office of Student Affairs. It is expected that all registrations will be completed by the end of the registration period.

Students delinquent in their financial accounts or obligations to the library or with respect to any equipment loans from the Equipment Room will not be permitted to register, take a leave of absence, or officially withdraw; nor will they be issued transcripts or degree diplomas. In addition, students who fail to meet satisfactory progress requirements or to comply with New York State immunization laws (see following), or who have outstanding obligations to the Offices of Financial Aid, Admissions, or Bursar’s Office may not be permitted to register, take a leave of absence, or officially withdraw.
