<p>just received this email:</p>

<p>GSP Students,</p>

<p>I write to announce that, effective 1 September 2006, GSP will become part of Arts and Science. This change has been under discussion for some time, and in preparing for the move from the School of Professional and Continuing Studies, we have worked hard to insure that students will benefit and not be affected adversely in any way.</p>

<p>The rationale for moving GSP is clear. Our new home will be an acknowledgment that, as a core liberal arts undergraduate program at NYU, GSP belongs in the
academic home of the university's premier arts and science programs. Moreover, the overwhelming majority of GSP students initially apply and eventually transfer to CAS, and our move reflects this reality.</p>

<p>As a result of this administrative reorganization, many important things will not change. First and foremost, all understandings now in place about your guaranteed transfer to the NYU school to which you originally applied remain
in force. Second, your past academic work and your grades remain on your GSP/NYU transcripts. Third, all financial aid commitments made to you will be honored exactly as they would have been in SCPS. Fourth, the GSP curriculum
and academic degree requirements remain just as they are now. And, while there will be a change to the letter prefix for all GSP classes (though the numbers will be the same), there will be no change to your fall schedule. The
change to your fall registration will be made automatically by the Registrar, either during the summer or shortly afterward. There will be nothing for you to do.</p>

<p>More importantly, there will be positive changes. Among the first of what promises to be many benefits, as of next academic year, GSP will have its own independent student government and, thus, full control over its own student
activities budget. </p>

<p>If you have any questions or concerns about our move to Arts and Science,
please do not hesitate to email them to me at <a href="mailto:gspdean@nyu.edu">gspdean@nyu.edu</a>.</p>

<p>So effectively, this is just kind of an administrative change? It seems to me like it won't change much.</p>

<p>strange....I never received this email...</p>

<p>"...we have worked hard to insure that students will benefit..." </p>

<p>"insure", in this context, should be spelled ENsure. ...Odd that that error should have been made. What email was it sent to, @nyu.edu??? I've yet to get it and I'm in GSP too.</p>

<p>It's a joke.</p>

7

<p>lol how is it a joke when all of my gsp classmates and I received this email.</p>

8

<p>Uh...well both Matt and I are GSP and have yet to receive it. Besides, you haven't told us if you got it via the @nyu.edu email or what.</p>

9

<p>how does it matter anyway? were still getting the same deal.</p>

<p>though GSP student government is def. something i would go for.</p>

10

<p>um....i was under the impression that we already had a sort of student government???</p>

11

<p>yea, via @nyu.edu</p>

<p>it doesnt mean GSP is assimilated into CAS...its just under its umbrella</p>

<p>and in response to a post in another thread, bigred is not the only one who got the e-mail. i got it, received may 18th...why some of the current gsp kids didn't get it is beyond me</p>

<p>hold up, GSP has its own transcript, that's different than nyu?? i thought that gsp was like another undergraduate school at nyu</p>
