How to Apply
We’re thrilled you are considering joining New York Tech’s community of doers, makers, innovators, and inventors. We review applications on a rolling basis until all spaces are filled (however, you may need to keep a few program-specific deadlines in mind). Find details about the steps of the application process below.
Before completing your online application, we recommend carefully reading all program-specific admission requirements. International students will need to fulfill additional requirements, including English proficiency and transcripts.
You’ll complete the New York Tech Online Application unless you are applying to one of the following programs:
- Physician Assistant Studies: Apply through the Central Application Service for Physician Assistants (CASPA).
- Occupational Therapy: Apply through the Occupational Therapist Centralized Application Service (OTCAS).
- Physical Therapy: Apply through the Physical Therapist Centralized Application Service (PTCAS).
Readmission
If you have attended New York Institute of Technology in the past and are interested in reenrolling, learn more about readmission.
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 nyitgrad@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.
If required, you may email other documents to nyitgrad@nyit.edu or fax them to 516.686.1116.

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. Once you start the online application, you will be prompted to request letters from those you would like to recommend you for admission to New York Tech.
All letters of recommendation submitted should be personalized, submitted in a manner consistent with the recommender’s status, and signed and dated by the recommender. Professional letters should be on company letterhead; academic letters should be on university letterhead.
Throughout the admission process, you can check the status of your application. We will communicate with you via email regarding any missing documents required for your application. If you recently submitted these items, please allow two to four weeks for us to process them.
If you have completed graduate coursework at another university, you may be able to transfer some of your credits to get a head start on your degree at New York Tech.
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.”
Applicants are required to submit the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), as administered by the Educational Testing Service, the Pearson PTE Academic Exam, the Duolingo English Test, IB English exam, or an examination deemed to be equivalent by the Office of Admissions.
