Admitted Students

Welcome to NYU New York! We’re delighted that you’ll be spending a semester or year with us and can’t wait to greet you in New York. In the meantime, this page will guide you through everything you need to get ready for your term in the U.S. We’ve mirrored the acceptance letter very closely, so please be sure to use that as an additional reference.

Checklist

Confirm your spot in the program

In order to confirm your intention to enroll, you must accept your offer of admission by submitting a $500 non-refundable reservation fee. You can accept or decline your offer online using a non-refundable e-check or by mail / in person (only if you are unable to accept your offer online). To accept online, please see your acceptance email with specific instructions on how to access the link through NYUHome. If you are unable to accept your offer online, please mail a completed Confirmation Form (to be sent separately) and a check or money order payable to "New York University" to NYU Office of Global Programs, 383 Lafayette Street, 4th Floor, New York, NY 10003. Please DO NOT SEND CASH. The check or money order must be in U.S. funds only and include your University ID number and Study Away site in the memo section. Reservation fees are encouraged within two weeks of acceptance. **It is this confirmation form and fee that guarantees your place in the program. Please note that programs space is limited. If the program reaches capacity before we receive your reservation fee, you will be placed on a waitlist.**

Read All Admitted Student Blog Updates

To help prepare you for your semester or year away, your site representative has created an Admitted Students blog specificially for your program and term. This blog will be your main point of reference throughout the pre-departure process. All students need to be aware that this blog will be updated frequently, making it especially important to check new links and updates. These will be highlighted in a weekly email from your site rep, but it is highly suggested you – and your parents – subscribe to the blog as well to make sure you don’t miss a thing.

Complete the immigration process

Students should work directly with their home school's mobility team on the visa process.

Update NYU Home ASAP

We'll send all e-mail communication to your NYU e-mail address, so check that account regularly or activate mail forwarding. In addition, make sure that your addresses and phone numbers in Albert are updated so that we're able to contact you with important information throughout the semester.

You should search for classes using NYU Albert. Not all courses will be open to you as schools and departments may have restricted access to some of their courses. Pre-requisites will be strongly enforced in most cases.

If you wish to take Stern courses, you must follow the registration process for non-Stern students.

All students studying in New York will be required to complete a course intent form two weeks before the start of the semester.

Book your flight

All students are responsible for arranging their own transportation for their semester abroad. Students must plan to arrive on Arrival Day as indicated on the calendar.

Housing is available only for the dates of the program so if you plan to arrival early or leave late, please be aware you will be responsible for your own accommodations.

For tips and requirements about flights, please see the Admitted Students blog.
