How to Apply

On this page you'll find a universal checklist of required application materials, as well as specific instructions for students applying from international high schools or colleges, students whose native language is not English, transfer students, homeschooled students, and students seeking readmission to The New School.

October is College Application Month in New York State, and we're extending the celebration through November! Apply to The New School by November 30, and we'll waive your application fee. Enter the fee waiver code CICU when submitting your application.
