StudentLink Counselors
Questions about your financial aid, your bill, a payment, or your transcript? A StudentLink Counselor can help you with that! There are three ways in which you can speak with a StudentLink Counselor: in-person, via Zoom, or through email. We encourage students to use our online services whenever possible in order to reduce density at our centers. Together, we can keep each other safe! Regardless of the method you choose, we're committed to bringing you the same great service you've come to expect from StudentLink.
Students can get a spot in line to see a StudentLink Counselor in-person at one of our locations. You will also be given estimated wait time or you can ask for more time before you are seen
NOTE: While in our centers, all visitors are required to comply with NYU's health protocols. This includes being authorized to be on campus (including the completion of the Violet Go pass).
* Due to current NYU guidelines, we are only able to allow current students who have met building access protocols into our centers. Parents or family members who wish to discuss questions or concerns require a valid Consent to Disclose Student Information form on file from the student and should make a Zoom appointment or send us an email.

Document Pick Up
Students are encouraged to conduct and receive digital documents in order to minimize in-person contact. Due to the COVID-19 situation and based on recent guidance from the US government, Office of Global Services staff are currently issuing digitally signed I-20s. This means that if you are a student in F-1 status and you apply for anything requiring a new I-20 (for example, a travel signature, OPT, CPT, etc.), you will receive a digital I-20 at your NYU email account instead of receiving a new, printed I-20 once your document is ready.
Students in J-1 status will still receive a printed DS-2019 if they require a new DS-2019 as government guidance has not yet been released on digital DS-2019s.
Students that must physically pick up their documents may do so at the StudentLink Center. Get a spot in line here.
Before arriving at the Center, students should check for the following:
- Received an email from OGS notifying them that the document is available at the StudentLink Center location, and
- Check the document pick up location on the email.
Travel Signatures
Although OGS does not advise for you to travel internationally at this time, if you are traveling and need a travel signature on your I-20 or DS-2019, you may request a travel signature remotely by completing the OGS document release form.
In-person advising at our Manhattan location is currently by appointment only and must be made 24 hours in advance. Representatives from the Office of Global Programs are also available by Zoom or email. Complete the Global Program Inquiry Form for assistance.
Please note that due to the recent rise in COVID-19 cases, only the Manhattan cashiering area will be open for limited services. Please refer to the StudentLink mainpage for office hours.
Students looking to make in-person payments (cash, check, or money order) or pick up petty cash reimbursements may do so at either StudentLink Center location. Those looking to pick up their payroll check, please refer to this map for your assigned pick up location. Payroll pickup location is based on your work location.
Once you're ready to come in, simply select which center you'd like to visit and then select the service that best fits your needs to get a spot in line. An appointment is not needed for these services.
