Admissions Requirements

Once the student’s application has been processed, you will receive a link to the online applicant portal where all admissions documents and I20 documents will be uploaded. The link to the portal can be found here. Please email your NYFA contact if you do not have the applicant portal login.

Each program has different admissions requirements, you can find full information on these requirements by clicking the links below.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Occasionally workshops or programs may be cancelled due to circumstances beyond New York Film Academy’s control, including under-enrollment.  In such circumstances, all tuition and NYFA fees will be fully refunded. However, NYFA recommends students purchase travel insurance to cover costs such as air fair and housing and any other non-NYFA fees, as NYFA cannot refund these expenses. If a program must be cancelled, you will be contacted no later than 30 days prior to your program start date.
