About NYUHome

NYUHome, http://home.nyu.edu, is a service that provides information and facilitates collaboration, interaction and communication for NYU faculty and staff members, and students in degree or diploma programs, both in the United States and overseas. It is a portal to many web-based services and tools. Although NYUHome is also maintained by Information Technology Services, it is a separate service from this ITS website. There is, however, a great deal of cooperation between the two services.

Using a web browser to log into NYUHome, you are able to access email, Albert, Blackboard, NYU Forums, classes, research tools and more, bringing many of your Internet activities on to one web page. You can customize your NYUHome screen to fit your needs and interests. Different resources, such as reference searches or a schedule of campus events, are provided through channels, and you can choose which channels you want to display on your screen.

NYUHome provides a built-in web-based email client. This service lets you access your email from anywhere in the world with web access. Because your messages are stored on the server for a specific time period, you can work on email from an office workstation, a home computer, a laptop in a hotel room or a public terminal, without having to transfer files between computers. In fact, all of NYUHome is designed for global access. You can go Home no matter where you are.

Accessing NYUHome

To access your NYUHome account for the first time, you will need to activate it using your NYU ID and your NetID. From any Internet-connected computer, go to http://start.nyu.edu, enter your NetID, and follow the instructions to set up a password and access NYUHome.

To access NYUHome once your account is activated, go to http://home.nyu.edu and sign in using your NetID and the password you chose. You can access NYUHome and your NYU Email from virtually any location in the world using a web browser.
