StudentLink Center Modified Services
Current students can see a StudentLink Counselor in-person by getting a spot the same day by using our queuing system. You can get a spot by text, book a Zoom appointment online, send us an email, or use our kiosks in-person.
Due to University COVID-19 guidelines, in-person visits are only available to current students, faculty, and staff.

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: Due to current NYU guidelines, we are only able to allow current students, faculty, or staff members into our centers. Parents or family members, alumni, admitted/prospective students, or other non-current students, faculty, or staff members who wish to discuss questions or concerns require a valid Consent to Disclose Student Information form on file from the student or be authorized to be on campus. Alternatively, non-current students, faculty, or staff members should make a Zoom appointment or send us an email.
Zoom appointments are available for questions related to financial aid, registration and records, and billing only.

Office of Global Services (OGS)
International students and students studing away continue to be supported by the Office of Global Services remotely. However, some in-person services are resuming. Check the options below for more information.
F1/J1 Visa Holder Advising | Advising for Visas for Study Abroad | Document Pick Up | Travel Signatures
F1/J1 Visa Holder Advising
International students studying at NYU on either a F1 or J1 visa can speak with an OGS advisor in three ways: through email, via Zoom or in-person appointment.
Please check the OGS website for instructions on how to meet with an OGS Inbound Advisor.
Advising for Visas for Study Abroad
There are three ways in which you can speak with an OGS outbound immigration advisor: through email, via Zoom advising, or by in-person advising.
With questions related to the visa process while you study away, please contact the Outbound Student Services team.
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.
- Payment Only: Make a payment using cash, check, or money order
- Payroll Pickup: Pick up a paycheck
- Petty Cash: Pick up cash for a student reimbursement
