Each program has specific admissions requirements and deadlines. Be sure to familiarize yourself with them as early in the process as possible, before you complete your application and submit your supporting documents.

You will need to upload unofficial transcripts with your application and request your previous institutions to send official copies directly to New York Tech. Other supporting documents may be requested, depending on your program. 

New York Tech participates in several electronic transcripts networks: National Student Clearinghouse, Parchment Exchange, Scoir, and eSCRIP-SAFE. If your prior institution does not participate with one of our networks, they may send an electronic official transcript directly to New York Tech at grad@nyit.edu. If you recently submitted supporting documents, please allow the Office of Admissions at least two to four weeks to process your materials.

If your transcripts are in a language other than English, you must submit an official English translation through a NACES-approved agency.

Applicants who have earned or are earning a degree from a university outside the United States may need to have their educational credentials evaluated by a National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) member organization. The evaluation should include U.S. credit, grade, and degree equivalents and a course-by-course evaluation.

Country-Specific Requirements

African countries:

• Must submit an official transcript directly from your prior universities to the Admissions Office or an official course-by-course evaluation of the transcripts and an official evaluation of the degree from a NACES-approved agency.

India (3-year bachelor’s degree):

• College of Engineering and Computing Sciences programs (including Bioengineering, Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Data Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Advanced Certificates and all Ph.D programs; but excluding Energy Management, and Occupational Health & Safety) must submit an official course-by-course evaluation from a NACES-approved agency.

• School of Management programs do NOT require an official evaluation of the degree from a NACES-approved agency for students who hold a three-year undergraduate degree from India. All such applications will be reviewed by the School of Management’s admissions team on a case-by-case basis and may be considered for the graduate program without BRIDGE or maybe required to submit an official course-by-course evaluation directly from a NACES-approved agency.

• Other programs are considered on a case-by-case basis.

Other Countries are considered on a case-by-case basis. Please contact the Office of Graduate Admissions at grad@nyit.edu with questions.
