NYU Abu Dhabi’s University Prep Program was a free two-day in-person workshop on Saadiyat Island, held July 4–5, 2026, 10 a.m.–4 p.m. The official page explicitly states the 2026 application is closed. No next workshop cycle was announced on the source checked November 4, 2026.
The historical workshop targeted students applying for fall 2027 university entry through the Common Application, including rising seniors graduating in spring 2027, 2026 graduates taking a gap year and UAE nationals committed to military service. The university-entry year does not announce a 2027 workshop. Applicants could attend schools anywhere; their intended universities, rather than their schools, use the Common Application.
Historical materials were high-school transcript and available 2025–26 report cards, with optional recommendation and English-language test results. Selected participants received workshop materials and meals free; travel, accommodation and local transport were their responsibility. Full attendance was required. An exact historical submission cutoff and future dates, eligibility or costs were not verified.
