Transfer Student Admissions

Start by completing our online application or the Common Application. Once you’ve submitted your application, you can check its status below. Certain programs also have specific admissions requirements.

For transfer students, we review applications for admission and automatic scholarship decisions on a rolling basis. 

Program-Specific Admission Requirements and Deadlines

In addition to the general application and admission requirements, some programs require students to submit additional materials, such as portfolios, minimum GPA, or prior coursework.

Standardized test scores aren’t required to apply to New York Tech. Learn more about submitting a test-optional application, and get help deciding if this is the right choice for you.

Official transcripts for all high school and college-level work are required as part of your application. We participate in several electronic transcript networks to make submission easy. You can submit documents and check your application status by logging into the Admissions Portal.

Required documents include:

• Official test scores (AP, IB, A-Level, etc.).
• Copies of transcripts from all colleges you have attended.
• If you have fewer than 24 credits of previous college work completed, you will need to submit your official high school transcript. You also have the option of submitting your SAT (critical reading and math only) or ACT scores. SAT Code: 2561; ACT Code: 2832.

If your transcripts are in a language other than English, you must submit an official English translation through one of the following agencies:

• World Education Services (WES)
• Globe Language Services
• NACES

Any transfer credits will be determined after you are admitted and we have received the official translation and evaluation of your transcripts. 

Note: All final, official transcripts must be received prior to the start of your first semester.

Letters of recommendation from those who know you and your academic work are a key part of the application, giving us a fuller picture of your strengths and qualities as a student. As you start your online application, you’ll request letters from those you would like to recommend you for admission to New York Tech.

In 300 to 350 words, tell us about your career goals in the major you applied for and why attending New York Tech would further those goals.

New York Tech prefers electronic submission of documents. Check your application status and submit your documents.

We participate 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 admissions@nyit.edu.

If required, you may email other documents to admissions@nyit.edu or fax them to 516.686.1116.

All international students are required to demonstrate English proficiency as part of the application process. Once admitted, students will need to submit materials to receive an I-20 “Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant Student Status.”

If you have attended college overseas, you need to have your educational credentials evaluated by a National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) member organization before the admission decision for your application review. See approved agencies listed below.

If your transcripts are in a language other than English, you must submit an official English translation through one of the following:

• World Education Services (WES)
• Globe Language Services
• SpanTran Evaluation Services

Possible transfer credit will be determined upon admission to New York Institute of Technology and receipt of the course-by-course evaluation.
