Inter-University Engineering Doctoral Consortium (IUEDC)

New York Institute of Technology’s College of Engineering and Computing Sciences is a member of the Inter-University Engineering Doctoral Consortium (IUEDC), a consortium of graduate engineering programs at nine institutions in the New York/New Jersey metropolitan region. The creation of the consortium was announced in November 2023.

Consortium Members

In addition to New York Tech, the members include:

  • City University of New York (CUNY)
  • Columbia University
  • Cornell Tech
  • New York University
  • Princeton University
  • Rutgers University
  • Stevens Institute of Technology
  • Stony Brook University. 

The IUEDC cross-registration program allows doctoral engineering students to take needed coursework in the engineering program at one of the member institutions. It is for graduate course-taking only and does not arrange or support dissertation research or faculty consultation at member institutions. Students must be in good standing and have completed one academic year of full-time study at their home institution to be eligible for participation.

All tuition and fees are paid to the home institution. Students are responsible for paying any lab fees to the host institution. The host institution reports final grades to the student’s home institution. Please note that students must abide by the host institution’s grading policies. Students may not audit courses through the IUEDC cross-registration program. 

Register

We will be accepting IUEDC registration for Spring 2025 starting November 7, 2024.

The Spring 2025 deadline for registration at New York Institute of Technology is January 15.

Instructions for New York Tech Students

  • Complete application: Complete the IUEDC Registration Form.
    • Fill out all areas of the form clearly and legibly for accurate registration and grade reporting.
    • Be sure that you have provided your full address, including zip code, as well as a phone number and email address at which the host school can reach you in addition to all course information.
    • Sign the bottom of the form.
  • Obtain signatures: Obtain signatures in the following order only (signatures will not be given out of order):
    • New York Tech Advisor (research advisor)
    • New York Tech IUEDC Coordinator (they will consult with the Director of Ph.D. program)
    • High School Course Instructor
    • Host School Dean / IUEDC Coordinator
  • Register at the host school: Please refer to the host school’s IUEDC website for registration procedures. This may include proof of immunization. Provide a copy of the registration form to the IUEDC Coordinator at the host school after you have collected the other three signatures. 
  • Return the completed registration form: Forms should be returned to the New York Tech IUEDC Coordinator.

If you need to drop your IUEDC course, please do so by the host school’s drop/add deadline by contacting the host school’s IUEDC Coordinator. Please also inform the New York Tech IUEDC Coordinator that you’ve dropped the course.  Dropping a course could impact your full-time student status and thus impact financial aid and immigration status (for international students).

Member schools send each other final grades approximately three weeks after the end of each semester. If you have completed your course and your grade has been posted at the host school by that time, you do not need to do anything else to get your grade at New York Tech. If you have not completed your course or your grade has not been posted by the time of the grade exchange, then it is your responsibility to take actions that will get your grade to New York Tech. Once a grade has been posted at the host school, contact the host school IUEDC Coordinator and request a transcript be sent to the New York Tech IUEDC Coordinator. The host school IUEDC Coordinator will then have a new transcript sent to New York Tech at no cost to you. Host school rules on course completion apply, so if you take an incomplete, be sure you are familiar with those rules if you do not intend to complete the course right away.

Instructions for Students Visiting New York Tech

  • Complete Application: Complete the IUEDC Registration Form.
    • Fill out all areas of the form clearly and legibly for accurate registration and grade reporting.
    • Be sure that you have provided your full address, including zip code, as well as a phone number and email at which we can reach you in addition to all required New York Tech course information.
  • Obtain signatures: Obtain signatures in the following order only (signatures will not be given out of order):
    • Home School Director of Ph.D. Program, or Advisor
    • Home School IUEDC Coordinator
    • New York Tech Course Instructor
    • New York Tech IUEDC Coordinator
  • Submit Form: Submit your form as a PDF to the New York Tech IUEDC Coordinator only after you have obtained the first three signatures. We will accept an email from the course instructor that gives explicit permission to join the class in lieu of a signature. The other two permissions must be physical signatures. Instructor permission to join a class does not constitute guaranteed enrollment in the course. Visiting students may be denied enrollment or placed on a waitlist if the course is closed. You will be contacted if there is a registration issue.

Once your registration is processed, you will receive a New York Tech ID and password that will provide you access to email and Canvas for any coursework. You will also have access to the Library.

Please note: You will not receive an official New York Tech ID Card.

If you need to drop your IUEDC course, please contact the New York Tech IUEDC Coordinator. You may only drop your course through the first twelve weeks of the semester. After that, you will receive a grade. Courses may not be audited. 

We will send your grade to your home school at the end of the term. Grades are sent in June for the spring semester. Host school rules on course completion apply, so if you do take an incomplete for a course, be sure you are familiar with New York Tech’s Incomplete Policy.
