Auditing Language Courses

GPIA students currently registered for degree credits may audit appropriate language courses offered by The New School, without charge. These courses do not carry academic credit and are not graded, but do appear on student transcripts as audits. You may register for language courses once you have registered for GPIA courses, following these steps:

  • To determine your correct language level, proficiency tests are available through the New School Foreign Languages department: 64 W 11th St. 1st Floor, or telephone (212) 229-5676. The Foreign Language Department is open Monday through Friday, 10pm to 6pm. Students are encouraged to take their placement exam between 2pm and 6pm. Please contact the department at 212-229-5676 to schedule the placement test.
  • Complete a course Drop/Add form available in the GPIA office and have it signed by an advisor. 
  • Take the Drop/Add form to the Coordinator of Academic Student Services in the Dean's Office of The New School for General Studies (66 W 12th St. Room 307, phone: 212-229-5615 who will issue a "fee waiver" form.
