By now you should have selected your classes and received adviser approval and electronic clearance for registration. You are now ready to register for classes on Albert. You should read print the steps below before you begin to register on Albert. If you need assistance with any of these steps, please call Gallatin's Office of Student Services at (212) 998-7370.

Follow these steps for registering:

1) Prepare necessary reference materials. You will need the information from your Plan of Study while on Albert, including any access codes you may have obtained.

2) Log on to Albert. If you need assistance with logging on to Albert, go to NYUHome, NetID, and Albert. As you move through the many functions and screens of Albert, be sure to read everything on each screen before proceeding. Very important information and instructions for which you are responsible are written here.

3) Check for stops and registration blocks on your record. On Albert, you can confirm that you received adviser clearance, see whether you have any registration blocks, and check your registration appointment (if one has been assigned). From Albert’s home page:

   a. Go to the Personal Profile (ADDR/STOPS) menu and select STOPS. If there are any stops or blocks on your record, you will not be able to register. Albert should provide instructions on resolving the stop and/or block. If you need assistance with a stop or block, contact the Gallatin Office of Student Services, (212) 998-7370.

   b. Go to the Registration menu and select REGISTRATION STATUS. Read everything on this page, especially the important link provided about the availability of web registration. The first and last day that Albert is available for registration is noted here! If you were assigned a registration appointment time, you will find it here. You can register at (or anytime after) this assigned time, but not before. If you were not assigned an appointment, you can register anytime during the period Albert is available for registration.

4) Register for classes

   a.   From Albert’s home page, go to the Registration menu and select REGISTER. Read everything that appears on the page before continuing as these are important instructions about your tuition payment deadline. Be sure to use the link, Tuition and Fee Payment Schedule. You could be dropped from your classes if you disregard this information!

   To register for classes, make sure both fields on the screen are set appropriately (see below), then click the SUBMIT button on your Albert page.   

Academic Unit of Registration: All Undergraduate Programs (Except College of Dentistry)

Term of Registration: select appropriate spring, summer, or fall semester

   b.  Enter the five-digit call numbers for all of your courses from your “Plan of Study” onto the Albert page containing the online form, “Course Requests for Fall/Spring/Summer 200*,” then click the SUBMIT button. With this activity, you are registering yourself for these courses.

   c.  As soon as you have a final schedule, please e-mail the auxiliary adviser you have been working with, to let him know that you have completed registration. If you encounter problems while registering, read No. 5 below. If you are unable to resolve these problems on your own, contact Gallatin’s Office of Advising, (212) 998-7320.

5) Resolve registration problems. If you are unable to add a class to your schedule, you will receive an error message from Albert. To learn how to resolve these errors, go to Resolving Registration Problems on Albert. If you are not permitted to register because your first-choice course is closed, you should register for one of your back-up courses. In some instances you may have to adjust other classes on your schedule to accommodate your back-up courses. Once finished, you should be registered for approximately 16 credits worth of classes.

DROPPING CLASSES - Once you have successfully added a course to your schedule, the DROP option in the FUNCTION column on the Course Request form will appear for this course. To drop a course, select the DROP option and click SUBMIT.

6) Verify and Print your Schedule
Once you have completed your registration, you should be enrolled for at least 12 credits. Full-time students are registered for 12-18 credits. Students receiving financial aid must be full-time students and aware of the policy on Satisfactory Academic Progress. Verify your registration activity on Albert by printing your schedule. Make sure to correct all registration mistakes BEFORE the first day of classes to avoid financial penalties. To view and print your schedule, go to the Registration menu on Albert’s home page and select (STUDENT) SCHEDULE.

7) Pay your Tuition
New York University sets tuition payment deadlines for each fall, spring, and summer semester. To view the payment deadlines visit the Office of the Bursar's website at http://www.nyu.edu/bursar/regproc.html#deadline. Students who do not meet the tuition payment deadline will be dropped from their classes, lose their spot in their courses, and must re-register for all of their classes. Since students are responsible for knowing the deadlines and following the financial policies, you must read Tuition Payment and Financial Matters, and you should use the website of the Office of the Bursar www.nyu.edu/bursar.
