Academics

What is the difference between a lecture, discussion, and a lab? Does my student have to attend discussions? They are already so busy!

At UCLA, lectures, discussions, and labs are different components of a course that serve distinct educational purposes. Lectures are large-group sessions where professors present core material, discussions are smaller TA-led sections for deeper engagement, and labs are hands-on sessions for practical application.

Financial aid

My family's finances changed mid-year. Can and how does NYU adjust aid (appeals, Professional Judgment, loan options, and timing)?

Yes, NYU can adjust financial aid mid-year if your family's finances have changed drastically. This is done through a process called Professional Judgment (PJ), which can lead to adjustments in federal need-based aid eligibility or, for returning undergraduates, an appeal for additional NYU scholarships.

Housing

My daughter is a sophomore, can she switch dorms once the semester has begun? Her roommate situation is not working out. And how do room changes and waitlists exactly work during the term?

Yes, a University of Texas at Austin sophomore can request a dorm room change once the semester has begun. The process involves submitting a request to University Housing and Dining (UHD) and is handled based on availability and the urgency of the request.
