Let’s Keep Going – Your Next Steps
View Your Financial Aid Offer
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.
Complete Your I-20 or DS-2019 Application (International Students Only)
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.
Apply for Housing
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.

Submit Your Final Transcripts
Send your final transcripts to NYU by July 15 to meet our proof of graduation policy. If not, it is likely that you won’t be allowed to register for fall courses and you’ll be dropped from your pre-registered courses. An extension, though, will be granted to students outside the U.S. whose secondary schools operate on a different schedule. Students who may need more time due to school calendars will be able to request an extension in mid-June.
Students attending non-U.S. institutions are required to have their final graduation documents authenticated by our partner, Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE). Please review our Proof of Graduation Requirements for Students Attending Non-US. Institutions for instructions.
Update Chosen/Preferred Name and Pronouns
You can update your chosen/preferred name and pronouns in Albert (NYU's student information system) at any time. Access instructions for updating your chosen/preferred name and instructions for updating your pronouns at the provided links.
