Registration and Academic Services

These instructions are for returning students only. New Students will be registered for classes via the Registrar Office. 

IENYC students are responsible for registering for their courses each trimester and being aware of registration dates (located in the Academic Calendar). Students in good financial standing will receive an email from the Registrar on the first day of the registration period informing them of the steps needed to register. 

Updating Your Contact Information 

The Office of the Registrar maintains addresses and telephone numbers for currently enrolled students. It is important for all students, especially international students, to keep their home and local addresses and phone numbers current in the College's records. Please contact registrar@‌ienyc.edu to request an update.

Legal Change of Name

Currently enrolled students who legally change their names should submit legal proof of the name change, such as a marriage license, a driver’s license, a passport, or divorce papers to registrar@‌ienyc.edu

Information for Transgender Students

Transgender students and alumni who have legally changed their names can file the Change of Name form with the Registrar using the procedure noted above. Current transgender students who have not legally changed their names can request that the college notify their instructors of their preferred first name and pronouns. Students should contact the Office of the Registrar for more information. 

Students wishing to withdraw temporarily from the College should consult with your Program Director. They will assist with the completion of the request form that is submitted to the Office of the Registrar. Normally, a Leave of Absence from study is granted for one trimester but may be extended to a maximum of two trimesters in exceptional circumstances. Students applying for a leave of absence must be in good academic and social standing. An approved leave of absence provides students with the right to return to the College and register for a future trimester without applying for re-admission. 

A Leave of Absence must be applied for and approved by your Program Director, Director of Academic Administration, and the Interim President & Provost in advance of the trimester in which it is to be taken. Students registered for and attending classes are not permitted to apply for a Leave of Absence retrospectively. They must withdraw from any courses in which they are enrolled following College protocol. Students are responsible for being aware of the College’s Tuition Refund Schedule.

Students granted a Leave of Absence for medical reasons may be required to provide documentation from their healthcare provider that they are medically fit to resume their studies. Students failing to return from a Leave of Absence within one calendar year must apply for re-admission. If they are re-admitted, they will be governed by the degree requirements in effect at the time of re-admission.

Students on a Leave of Absence are charged a $150 matriculation fee for each trimester they are on leave.

Students that do not apply for a leave of absence and do not register for classes by the second week of the trimester will be administratively withdrawn. They will need to reapply to the College if continuing in a subsequent trimester. They will be charged a re-application fee of $150.

For more information, please refer to the IENYC Catalog.

Students who are considering permanently withdrawing from IENYC are strongly encouraged to discuss their situation with your Program Director first. Should it be determined that a student can and should withdraw, the student must complete the withdrawal form (including gaining all necessary signatures) available from your Program Director. See ‘Fees and Refund Policy’ section in the current IENYC Catalog for more information. 

Students may request changes in their schedules only during the Drop/Add Period, which ends on the Friday of the first week of classes. No schedule changes are possible after the conclusion of the Drop/Add Period, nor is a schedule change considered official until it is processed by the Office of the Registrar.

To Drop/Add a course, students should contact the your Program Director.

A verification certificate provides proof of enrollment or degree completion for a student’s financial lender, insurance company, sponsor, employer, etc.
