Your program status was issued to you upon Admission to your current program based on your application.  If you would like to change that Program Status permanently or temporarily, please follow these instructions:

Parsons (NYC Campus)

• Go to my.newschool.edu

• Click on the "Academics" tab

• Find the "Student Declaration Form"

• Follow the instructions to change your Full-time/Part-time status

Note, some programs will not allow for permanent changes to your program status.  We will accommodate any change requests temporarily if your program falls into that category.  If you are requesting to go part-time, make sure you are registered below full-time before you submit the request.

All Other Programs (Not Parsons NY)

If you are interested in permanently or temporarily changing your program status to part-time or full-time, please contact your academic advisor. They will be able to assist you in this process of requesting approval.  If approved, they will send that to the Registrar’s Office directly and no further action after receiving their approval is needed.

Email regandrecords@newschool.edu should you have additional questions.
