Degree Conferral and Issuing of Diplomas The New School confers degrees in January and May. After all semester grades are received and posted, the student’s academic record is evaluated to determine eligibility to graduate. This process takes several weeks. If the student is eligible to graduate, the degree will be conferred and a diploma will be mailed to the student’s specified “diploma address” approximately 12 weeks later. Diplomas are not issued to students with outstanding debts to the university.

The minimum estimated budget for a full-time student at The New School for Social Research for the 2010–11 academic year should include tuition and fees for the fall and spring semesters (and for the summer session if courses will be taken), as well as for 9 months of living expenses (12 months if summer session courses will be taken). For the 2010–11 academic year, living and housing costs are approximately $20,238 for a nine-month period. A single student should budget $15,260 for room and board, $920 for books and supplies, $801 for local transportation, $1,550 for personal expenses, and $1,817 for health insurance. International students must also budget for their travel to and from their home countries. Reenrollment Fee The reenrollment fee applies to students who have petitioned to reenroll after having failed to register for one, two, or three semesters. The reenrollment fee consists of the equivalent of maintenance-of-status fees for each semester the student has been absent. The amount charged for each semester is the fee that was in effect for that specific semester. In addition, students must pay tuition or maintenance-of-status fees for the current semester, as well as university services and divisional fees for the current semester. If students register for the current term after the registration and payment deadlines, they will be charged a late fee. Reenrollment forms are available in the office of Student Academic Affairs. Readmission Fee The readmission fee applies to students who have been readmitted after failing to have registered for four or more semesters. The readmission fee consists of maintenance-of-status fees for the four semesters immediately preceding readmission, and the amount charged is the fee that was in effect for each specific semester. In addition, students must pay tuition or maintenance-of-status fees for the current semester, as well as university services and divisional fees for the current semester. Readmission forms are available in Admission.
