What is “Albert?”
Albert is NYU’s online student database and registration system. Students can use Albert to check their financial aid, review their grades, register for courses, search for openings in interesting classes across NYU, and many other things.

What is “NYUHome” and how is it related to “Albert?”
NYUHome is a web-based service that provides information and facilitates collaboration, interaction and communication for all NYU students. Using Netscape Communicator or Internet Explorer, you will be able to access Albert and log into your NYU email account through NYUHome.

What is a “NetID” and how is it related to “NYUHome?”
All NYU students enrolled in degree or diploma programs are provided with an NYU NetID (Network IDentification). Once activated (see below), you will use your NetID in combination with a password that you’ll set to access many services at NYU, including NYUHome and your NYU email account. Your NetID usually appears at the bottom of your NYU ID Card. Your NYU email address will be your NetID followed by “@nyu.edu."

IMPORTANT: Be prepared to spend a few hours learning how to activate your NetID, log onto NYUHome, and locate and navigate Albert successfully. Follow the instructions below:

1) Learn and activate your NYU NetID, and create a password
You can activate your NetID at any time, from any internet-connected computer by going to NYU’s Information Technology Services (ITS) Start page (http://start.nyu.edu/) and following the online startup instructions. Since you do not know your NetID, follow the instructions at the top of the page for those who do not know their NetID by clicking the “START” button at the top of the page. Then, complete the steps for setting up a password and beginning your NYUHome service. Make sure to write down your NetID and password if you cannot memorize it. You must carefully read the instructions for setting passwords. You must include a NON-alpha/numeric symbol (like: !, &, *, %, etc.). Once finished, you will know your NetID and have created a password to access NYUHome. If you encounter any problems, visit or call the ITS Client Services Center, 10 Astor Place, 4th Floor, 1-212-998-3333.

2) Access NYUHome
Now that your NetID is activated, you can access NYUHome, which will allow you to sign on to Albert. To do this, go to http://home.nyu.edu and sign in using your NetID and password. For more information on NYUHome, go to http://www.nyu.edu/its/homehelp.html.

3) Access Albert
Once you have gotten familiar with your NYUHome settings, locate and select the “Academics” tab. Scroll up and/or down until you see “Albert for Students.” Select “Student Login.”

Spend time exploring Albert to see the contents of the five functions available to you: Personal Profile (Addr/Stops), Academic Records (Records), Registration, Financial Aid, and Bursar. These functions will be available to you at the top of every Albert screen.

SECURITY REMINDERS!

• Always log out from Albert and NYUHome, and exit your browser before leaving the computer.
• Never disclose your NetID and password to anyone.

NOTE:
If you spend more than ten minutes experimenting with NYUHome without logging into Albert, you will have to log out of NYUHome, log back in, and go directly to Albert. This is done for security reasons; it will ensure that the person who logged into NYUHome is the same person who is signing onto Albert.
