EduPlus provides supplemental educational enrichment for motivated students who demonstrate enthusiasm and a strong willingness to work hard but whose grades and test scores do not meet NYIT’s regular admissions standards. This extra assistance can make an important difference in helping you achieve success in the college environment. EduPlus, which is offered at the Old Westbury and Manhattan campuses, provides the guidance and structure needed for students to become independent and self-motivated learners.

There are no separate and/or specific developmental classes for EduPlus students at NYIT. All EduPlus students are mainstreamed into regular college courses and are full-time students. Participants select courses in consultation with EduPlus advisors based on placement test outcomes.

There is an additional one-time fee required to enroll in EduPlus. This fee is added to your first tuition bill and covers one-to-one contact with professional tutors, personalized academic advisors and personal counselors, other resources, and participation in supplemental activities.

Eligibility

All incoming first-year students will undergo an assessment as part of NYIT's regular admission process. If you are selected as a candidate for EduPlus, staff members will contact you to schedule an interview and will provide additional information on program offerings.

All EduPlus students are classified as full-time, matriculated students and are eligible to apply for financial aid. If you wish to be considered for financial aid, you should follow the regular procedure by going online and filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FASFA).

If you are accepted to NYIT’s EduPlus program, you must:

• Register for no fewer than 12 credits, but no more than 15 credits during your first semester at NYIT. After the successful completion of your first semester, you may enroll for the maximum number of credits permitted by your school or program.
• Earn and maintain a GPA of 2.0 or above during your first year.
• Attend all classes, laboratory, tutoring, and advisement sessions.
• Attend at least three hours of tutoring (with a professional tutor) per week in the first semester and two hours a week during the second semester.
• Sign up for peer tutoring for other classes, if deemed necessary.
