Registration Process

Step 1: Secure your Enrollment in Section I

Complete this Registration Form and your payment of the Section I course fee via NYU Shanghai’s ePay system to secure your enrollment in Section I. Registration will remain open until the maximum Section I enrollment is reached.

Step 2 (optional): Register for Section II after Notification of Eligibility

Students interested in Section II should indicate their interest in this Registration Form and answer the questions specific to Section II. Program staff will review and notify students of their eligibility to enroll in Section II. After being notified, students will then pay the additional Section II course fee to confirm their enrollment on a first-come, first-served basis until the maximum Section II enrollment (30) is reached.

  • Please be sure to promptly complete payment of all course fees. Your registration is not confirmed until after payment is successfully processed.
  • All participants must register for Section I first. Because Section II builds upon Section I, there is no option to register for Section II only.
  • Participants must be 18 years or older. If you are under 18, please email shanghai.opencourses@nyu.edu to join our mailing list for announcements about future Open Courses.
