All graduate applicants are required to complete the online application form and submit the non-refundable $80 application fee using a credit card. To begin the online application process, please click here.

Please note: The online application is not officially submitted until valid credit card information has been supplied. Upon completion of this, an online confirmation is sent. We strongly recommend that applicants print this out and keep it with their records.

All required application materials (except the online application and application fee) must be received together in one package by the Office of Graduate Admissions. Materials may be sent by mail or submitted in person to the Admissions Office.

Submissions by Mail: Due to the high volume of applications and mail received on a daily basis and the time it takes to process, the Office of Graduate Admissions cannot conduct status checks via phone, fax, or e-mail. Applicants are encouraged to submit materials via a traceable method (such as certified mail, priority mail, UPS, etc.) and use those tracking numbers to follow-up on their own. All materials should be sent to:

Office of Graduate Admissions
School of Visual Arts
209 East 23rd Street
New York, NY 10010-3994

Submissions In Person: If you are in the New York area, you may drop off your materials in person to the main Admissions Office located on the first floor of the 209 East 23rd Street building (between second and third Avenues). The office is open during the summer Monday through Thursday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm and on Fridays from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm..Applicants who need confirmation of the receipt of materials should mail documents by a traceable means.

Please note that incomplete applications will not be reviewed.

Applicants who have completed the application process by January 15, 2010, will receive an admission decision, in writing, by April 1, 2010. The College does not disclose admissions decisions via phone, fax or e-mail. All admission decision letters are sent to the “mailing address” provided by applicants on the online application. To avoid delays in notification, applicants who move or change addresses during the application process should contact Graduate Admissions via e-mail gradadmissions@sva.edu with an update of their contact information.

Note: All application materials become the property of the School of Visual Arts and will not be returned.
