Prerequisite Waivers for Spring 2025 Classes
Please note that if you intend to register for a class in Spring 2025 for which you’ll need a prerequisite waiver, you should submit the waiver form by November 4 to allow the waiver to be approved before the registration window opens. You must have an approved waiver to register for the Spring course.

If a Spring course has a Fall course as a prerequisite, failure of that fall course will cause you to be removed from the Spring course, unless you obtain an approved prerequisite waiver in January (once grades are finalized and course failure is confirmed). If you are in danger of failing a fall course, please discuss this situation with your advisor.

PLEASE NOTE:

1. Attempts to register for more than 21 credits will be automatically rejected. If your advisor approves this overload, they must make an email request to the engineering dean. Overload requests will only be considered if your cumulative GPA is greater than 3.0.

2. Add/drops will not be accepted before the first day of classes for the fall semester. 

3. The add/drop period nominally ends after the first week of classes meet and when all classes have met at least once.

 

  • Founded by inventor, industrialist and philanthropist Peter Cooper in 1859, The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art offers education in art, architecture and engineering, as well as courses in the humanities and social sciences.

  • “My feelings, my desires, my hopes, embrace humanity throughout the world,” Peter Cooper proclaimed in a speech in 1853. He looked forward to a time when, “knowledge shall cover the earth as waters cover the great deep.”

  • From its beginnings, Cooper Union was a unique institution, dedicated to founder Peter Cooper's proposition that education is the key not only to personal prosperity but to civic virtue and harmony.

  • Peter Cooper wanted his graduates to acquire the technical mastery and entrepreneurial skills, enrich their intellects and spark their creativity, and develop a sense of social justice that would translate into action.
