• Qualifying score in Calculus Placement Exam offered through the CAS Math Department (dates
updated throughout the summer)
• Qualifying score in AP, SAT Math, ACT/ACTE Math or foreign maturity certificate examinations (e.g.
IB, A-Levels, etc.)
 If you don’t qualify for Calculus I, you must take Algebra & Calculus (MATH-UA 9) and then take
Calculus I in a subsequent semester.

7. General Overview:
Core
Students must satisfy NYU Core requirements in the following ways:
1. Natural Science
Options for completion before graduation:
1.Complete a CORE-UA Course (Physical Science or Life Science) (CORE-UA 2xx or 3xx)
2.Complete a Departmental Science course (PHYS-UA, BIOL-UA, etc.)
3.Apply applicable advanced standing credits to complete this requirement once on campus in the fall (AP, A-
Levels, IB, etc.)
2. CAS College Core
Must complete both before graduation, but both courses should not completed in the same semester:
1.Texts & Ideas (CORE-UA 4XX)

8. General Overview:
Microeconomics
Students can enroll in Microeconomics (ECON-UB 1) if they have credit for
Calculus I or higher.
• Students with a qualifying AP, IB A-level, or foreign exam are able to register for
microeconomics.
• To determine if your AP scores have arrived at NYU, check the “Test Scores” area of
Albert and/or try to register for the class requiring the AP score as a prerequisite. If the
score has been processed, Albert will let you register. If Albert does not let your
register, your score has not yet been processed.*
*Please note that AP scores tend to arrive by the first week of July and then are processed and
added to your record by the Admissions Office. They typically take 5-10 business days to appear
on your record after they are sent to NYU.

9. General Overview:
Statistics
Stern students will complete 6-units of statistics in one of two ways:
•A one-semester 6-unit course entitled Statistics for Business Control and Regression and
Forecasting Models (STAT-UB 103)
•A two course sequence across two semesters. Statistics for Business Control (STAT-UB 1, 4 units)
followed by Regression and Forecasting Models (STAT-UB 3, 2 units)
Students with a score of 4 or 5 on the AP Statistics exam can place out of the 4 unit portion of
the Statistics requirement by passing a proficiency exam offered during Orientation or the first
week of classes.

10. Sample Schedules
Let’s take a look at two sample students named Bobby and Violet.
We will review their schedules to help guide your registration planning.

11. Bobby’s Sample Schedule
Test Scores from High School
• SAT Writing Score: 770
• AP Scores
US History: 4
Psychology: 4
• SAT Math Score: 640
• ACT Math Score: 32
General Requirements
1. Writing
2. Math
3. Texts & Ideas or Culture &
Contexts/Global Cultures
4. Natural Science

12. Bobby’s Writing Class
• Bobby is eligible for MULT-UB 100 Commerce and Culture (located in Stern) or EXPOS-UA 1
Writing the Essay (located in the College of Arts & Science (CAS)).
• He searches within Stern “Multidisciplinary” area and puts a section of Commerce and
Culture in his shopping cart. As there are a limited number of seats in Commerce and
Culture, Bobby also notes Writing the Essay sections as back-up ideas.
How do you plan and validate classes? Find out here.

13. Bobby Picks a Back Up Writing Section and reads class
notes
• Bobby checks the New Students website to determine which specific sections of the Writing the Essay
listed are open to Stern students.
• Be sure to read the notes on a section before adding it to your shopping cart. Stern students should not
register for sections that have other class notes, such as: “Goddard Residence Hall” (unless you will
reside at Goddard Residence Hall).
• Students interested in pursuing the “Pre-Health” track or an English or Creative Writing major/minor at
NYU should take Writing the Essay, not Commerce and Culture.

14. Bobby’s Math Class
• Bobby checks the New Students page and
the math notes section in each course to
determine which course he is eligible to
take.
• Bobby searches in the Math department of
College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) for his
math course.
• He registers for Calc I, since he does not
have qualifying AP scores.
• He makes sure to register for an associated
recitation section (abbreviated “RCT”),
because failure to register for an appropriate
RCT section may lead to being dropped from
the lecture.
• Just as with Writing the Essay, he prepares
backup sections and associated recitations in
the event that the section he wants closes.

15. Bobby’s CORE Texts & Ideas or Culture & Contexts Class
Bobby looks for Texts & Ideas and Cultures & Contexts
classes under the College Core Curriculum (CORE-UA)
within the College of Arts and Science (CAS)
He notes that he should not take Cultures & Contexts
AND Texts & Ideas simultaneously

16. Bobby’s Natural Science Class
Bobby references the New Students page when considering Natural Science course options, then
searches course options through the College Core Curriculum (CORE-UA) in the College of Arts &
Science (CAS). He looks for corresponding lab sections that go with the lecture he has selected. He
chooses a back-up option, just in case he can’t get into his first choice.
Note: As noted on the New Students page, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics courses in CAS are also an option, but
will be geared toward students in science fields.

17. Bobby’s Back Up Class: Statistics
Without an AP AB or BC Calculus score of 4 or 5, Bobby is unable to register for
ECON-UB 1 Microeconomics this fall, but is eligible for Statistics (4 or 6 unit)
concurrently with Calculus.
He can either take the 6-credit course (STAT-UB 103) or take the course over two
semesters; a 4-credit (STAT-UB 1) and subsequent 2-credit course (STAT-UB 3)
Bobby adds a section of Statistics to his shopping cart.

General Requirements

20. Violet’s Writing Class
• Upon registration day, Violet finds that all of the Commerce and Culture (MULT-UB 100)
courses were full, so she knows that she must take Writing the Essay (EXPOS-UA 1)
• She selects a couple of back-up sections, looking at the course notes to ensure she is eligible
to take them as a Stern student.
** SAT Scores can help students gauge whether or not a student would need to enroll in EXPOS-
UA 4 International Writing Workshop I. See our New Students website for more information

21. Violet’s Math Class
• Violet checks the New Students page and the
math notes section.
• She then decides that while waiting on her BC
score to arrive, she will plan to enroll in a
section of Calculus I.
• She searches in the Math department of College
of Arts and Sciences (CAS) for a math course.
• If Violet receives a 4 or 5 on BC Calculus, she
may apply the BC credit to fulfill Stern’s Calculus
I requirement or may take a higher level math
class.
NOTE: Even if Violet opts out of taking Calculus I
due to a satisfactory AP BC Calc exam score, she
notes that Stern faculty strongly encourage
students to take a college-level math course at
NYU, particularly those who plan to pursue a
quantitative discipline.

22. Violet’s Microeconomics Class
• Violet’s AP AB or BC score of 4 or 5 qualifies her to register for Microeconomics. She navigates to the
Economics (ECON-UB) section and looks for ECON-UB 1 Microeconomics.
• Like many of her fall courses, Microeconomics will have an associated recitation (RCT) that she must register
for when registering for the lecture.
• As a backup, Violet picks a section of Statistics, and puts it in her cart.

23. Violet’s Global Cultures Class
• Global Cultures courses, taught in Liberal
Studies, can fulfill the Cultures & Contexts
requirement
• Violet makes sure to read the class notes and
chooses a section that is open to Stern
students.

24. Violet’s Elective
• If Violet ends up applying AP BC Calc exam credit to complete her Math requirement, she will be
eligible to take one elective course of her choosing to round out her fall schedule.
• Elective Options: College of Arts & Science (CAS), Nursing, Gallatin, Wagner, Steinhardt, Silver
School of Social Work, Tandon and Tisch.
• While the College of Arts & Science (CAS) offers the largest array of options, Stern undergraduates
are eligible to take courses in any of the undergraduate programs at NYU with the exception of the
School of Professional Studies (SPS).
• Violet reads course notes thoroughly before adding courses to her shopping cart.

25. Violet’s Shopping Cart
Violet’s shopping cart includes:
•EXPOS-UA 1 Writing the Essay
•ECON-UB 1 Microeconomics (Lecture & Recitation)
•MATH-UA 121 Calculus I or MATH-UA 122 Calculus II
•LAGC-UF 101 Latin American Cultures
•If her BC Calculus score is 4 or 5 and Violet decides to apply the credit to complete the math
requirement, she can add the following possible back-up courses to her cart:
o STAT-UB 103 for Business Control and Regression & Forecasting Models (6 units) or
STAT-UB 1 Statistics for Business Control (4 units)
o Elective course
In advance of registration, Violet selects the “validate” button for
each course in her shopping cart to ensure she is eligible to enroll.

26. Your Next Steps
1. Just like Bobby and Violet, review the
New Students website thoroughly
2. Begin enrolling in classes at your registration
time and date
3. Contact the Advising Team with any questions
during our call-in times

27. Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Cohort Leadership Program and how did it end up on my fall
Schedule?
The Cohort Leadership Program, or CLP, is a mandatory fall course for Stern freshmen that meets
on Fridays throughout the fall semester. More information on the course can be found on the
New Students website.

28. Frequently Asked Questions
When will my senior-year AP scores be in the system?
The College Board traditionally releases the scores on/around July 1st
. If you indicated NYU
as a recipient of your scores, admissions should receive them in the first week of July, and
they should be in your Albert record soon after that.
Other tests such as A-Levels, IB, and French Baccalaureate may not be received by NYU until
a later date.

29. Frequently Asked Questions
I know I received a 4 or 5 on AP Calculus even thought the scores have not
been released yet. Why can’t I register for Microeconomics or be waived of
having to take Calculus now?
We hope that you did indeed perform well on your AP tests, but in order for Albert to recognize
your eligibility to enroll in courses for which the Calculus AP scores are required, the scores need
to be officially listed In the system.

30. Frequently Asked Questions
I don’t have a qualifying SAT, ACT, SAT II or exam score to register for
Calculus I for the fall, but I took a pre-calculus or calculus course in high
school and I feel prepared to take a college-level calculus course in the fall.
The Math department will offer Calculus 1 and higher level placement exams
throughout the summer as well as during Orientation. Information on dates
and times will be updated throughout the summer.

31. Frequently Asked Questions
I received a 4 or 5 on the AP Statistics exam. How do I test out of the 4-
credit Statistics class (STAT-UB 1)?
The Statistics proficiency exam will be offered during Orientation for those who already
have their scores listed in the system. A study guide will be available later on in the summer. For
more information, please see the New Students website.

32. Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I want to change my schedule after registration?
Technically, you have access to Albert and the ability to change your schedule through the
first week of classes. That being said, we discourage dropping: Writing the Essay, Commerce and
Culture, Texts & Ideas, Cultures & Contexts and Natural Science (Physical Science and Life Science
courses)
Registration guidance from the NYU Registrar Office
You are discouraged from waitlisting yourself for any courses in the fall; however, if you do,
please use the SWAP feature.
The goal is to be enrolled in 16 – 18 units for the fall.
