Congratulations on your admission to NYU! Welcome to our community of vibrant, creative, intellectual, and passionate learners and doers. You’re right where you belong.

There’s a lot to do between now and your first day at NYU. This webpage is your one-stop shop for each of your next steps. Take a deep breath and complete one thing at a time — you’ve got this. It will be helpful to have your NYU NetID handy as you work through each item. Look for an email titled "Your NYU ID Numbers and Status Page" if you don't remember it.

First Step: Make Your Enrollment Official

Confirm your enrollment by logging into NYUAlbert. Click on "View Application Status," and then go to your "Admitted Student's Portal." From there, you can respond to your offer of admission and submit your non-refundable enrollment deposit (if required) to secure your spot.

The celebration continues here! Stay on track, stay hyped, and find important information about student life, housing, academics, and more. Access your homebase portal.

If you applied for financial aid by the NYU financial aid application deadline and received a financial aid package, you can view your offer on your admitted student portal.

NYU is committed to helping you navigate the financial aid process. Learn more about how to accept your financial aid, payment plans, loan options, and financial aid renewal. 

If you’re an international student, you must complete an I-20 or DS-2019 application as soon as you decide to attend NYU. Instructions are available here. You’ll need your NYU NetID and password to log on to the site.

Keep in mind when completing the application:

  • Please complete your application at least three to four months before you plan to enter the U.S. in F1 or J1 status.
  • Incomplete applications will take longer to process.
  • For an overview of the application process, watch our YouTube video on “Getting a Visa to Study at NYU.”
  • You DO NOT need to submit an application or transfer your SEVIS record to NYU if you’re a first-year student beginning at NYU in London, Madrid, or Florence.

If you plan to live on campus, you’ll be prompted to submit your required $1,000 housing reservation and online housing application once you accept your offer of admission and submit your tuition deposit.

Spring admits: Complete the Housing Application for the spring term beginning on October 15. The application and payment deadline is November 15.

Fall admits: Complete the Housing Application for the Academic Year. The application and payment deadline is May 1.

NYU will send critical information about the enrollment process to your NYU email address. Soon after you confirm your enrollment, you’ll be assigned an NYU email address and given instructions on 1) how to create your account and 2) set up Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to help protect your sensitive information online. Once created, please check your email regularly. Contact NYU’s global IT Service Desk at AskIT@nyu.edu if you have trouble creating your account.
