Getting Started at NYU

NYUCard Photo ID

Your Human Resources Representative will provide you with an ID Authorization Form, which allows you to obtain a NYUCard photo ID at the NYUCard Center. As part of this process, you will be assigned a NetID that your Human Resources Officer will note on the ID Authorization Form. Your NetID will be imprinted on your NYUCard and is necessary in order to activate your NYU Internet account. If you are an employee of the Dental Center, you can submit passport photos to the NYUCard Center through your Human Resources Officer in lieu of coming in person.

Carry your NYUCard with you at all times. You may be required to show it to gain entrance to University buildings and when cashing personal checks at NYU. If you lose your NYUCard, contact your Human Resources Officer for a new ID Authorization Form. At the time of publication, there is a $15.00 charge for lost or stolen cards, unless you have obtained a police incident report for a stolen card (in which case there will be no charge). NYU Card Center: 7 East 12th Street, 1st Floor, 443-CARD

NYU-Internet Accounts

NYU-Internet Accounts provide e-mail and a set of tools for accessing a rich array of Internet resources at NYU. To apply for your NYU-Internet Account, you will need your NetID, which should be printed on your NYUCard Photo ID. Once you have your NetID, visit the ITS Web site at www.nyu.edu/its/start and follow the online instructions to apply for your Internet account services. To activate your account, you must then go to the ITS Client Services Center, 251 Mercer St., 2nd floor, or to any ITS Computer Lab (for a complete listing of ITS computer labs and hours, go to www.nyu.edu/its/labs).
