New Grad Students Welcome Page

Note: You will need to wait at least 24 hours from the date of your acceptance email to activate your NetID and follow the steps outlined below.

Included in your acceptance letter is your NetID, a unique alphanumeric code that NYU assigns to you (e.g. xyz,123). Your NetID is not your University ID number (which is a 9-character ID number starting with a capital N).

You will use your NetID and password to access your NYUHome account, which is a customizable web interface that links you to your NYU email account as well as other systems and tools, and serves as a home base for all NYU community members. You can also set up multi-factor authenication (MFA). 

• Please click here to learn more about your NetID and how to activate it.

After students have activated their NetID, the system will process this activation, and, for those who are eligible, their NYU Email and Google Education Accounts will automatically become active. Please allow the system time to process the activation of your credentials.

Once your NYU email is active, you can access your account via NYUHome by clicking the "NYU Email" card or navigating directly to mail.nyu.edu. It is NYU policy that communications are sent via NYU email.  Students are advised to check NYU email often or configure their inbox to automatically forward emails to their personal account.

NOTE TO APPLICANTS LIVING IN CHINA: As Google is not available in China, we recommend using the NYU VPN to access email while out of the US. Please follow the instructions listed in the link below.

NYU Email / Calendar: Access from countries that censor the Internet*

*Note: NYU NetID must be activated and password set before accessing this resource.

We want you to make meaningful connections with other new graduate students before your program begins. That's why we launched the 2025 Admitted Tisch Grad Student Community - a place for you to connect with other admitted students as you prepare to start your Tisch graduate program.

By joining the community, you will have already met other students virtually and gotten to know each other by the time you start your program– it’s a great way to find your people, settle in, and feel more at home here. You will also be able to chat to department and admissions ambassadors to ask questions about enrolling at NYU.

How to Join

Create your profile and join the community here. You'll ONLY be able to register using your NYU email address.

You can download the Unibuddy app from the Apple Store or Google Play.

We hope you decide to join our incoming class! To confirm your place, we require a $500 non-refundable tuition deposit -- as requested in your acceptance letter -- that is applied as a credit to your student account. Please refer to your acceptance email for your tuition deposit deadline.

If you accept our offer online, you must pay your non-refundable deposit by e-check. We highly recommend that you accept or decline our offer online. If you are an international student living abroad and do not have a US bank account, you can pay the deposit by Flywire. Instructions can be found below (International students that do not have a US checking account should scroll down for the Flywire method).

FOR THOSE WITH A U.S. CHECKING ACCOUNT:

1. Log on to your NYUHome account

2. Select the "Academics" Tab

3. Select the "Albert" login link, select the "Applicants" tab (not the "Student" tab) *NOTE: If you are having issues finding the Albert tab, you can go directly to Albert at https://albert.nyu.edu/albert_index.html and follow the instructions below.

4. Go to the "Admissions" section and select the "Check Application Status" link

5. Click the "Admission Offer" button at the top of the page

6. Click the "Accept/Decline" link to accept or decline the Admission offer

7. Click either the "Accept Offer" or "Decline Offer" button

8. Follow the prompts until you confirm your final decision. If you accept our offer, please be prepared to pay the required non-refundable tuition deposit by e-check. Note: After you make your final decision, the "Admission Offer" button will no longer be available to you.

NOTE: If you are experiencing problems with the payment screen not appearing, please disable your browser's popup blockers.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS - PAY THE DEPOSIT VIA FLYWIRE

NOTE: This method is for international students who do not have a U.S. bank account. Please Read and follow ALL the instructions.

1. Please go to https://www.flywire.com/school/nyu, select "PAY YOUR STUDENT ACCOUNT BILL" and follow the instructions to make your $500 payment. *You may be asked to submit an invoice or tuition bill to finalize your payment. Please upload a copy of your acceptance letter to satisfy this requirement.*

2. Once you’ve made the payment, please fill out the CANDIDATE REPLY FORM HERE. When the payment is credited to your account we will send you a confirmation of receipt. Please note that payments made via Flywire may take up to 72 hours to appear in your NYU account. However, we will consider the date the payment was made as the deposit date.  

3. Note: after the payment has been credited to your account, your spot in the incoming class will be reserved and the offer of admission will be automatically accepted. After this, the "Admission Offer" button will no longer be available to you online. Also, please remember to submit the candidate reply form after making the payment as that is the only way we can track the tuition deposit.

If you are a US citizen or US permanent resident and filed the FAFSA, you will be notified via email by the Office of Financial Aid when your financial aid package is ready for viewing. Log on to your NYUHome account with your NetID and password and go to the Financial Aid section to view the financial aid information when it becomes available.  Information about financial aid can be found on our website.

International students are encouraged to visit the Tisch Financial Aid Page and NYU's Financial Aid page for international students to learn more regarding financial aid options.

More information on tuition, fees and other expenses can be found on our website. Please note that the figures listed on the site are per term (semester), not per year. There are two terms/semesters in one academic year.

Please visit our Final Transcripts Guidelines page for detailed information on how to submit your documents. 

Representatives from your department will reach out to you in the coming weeks and months with more information on orientation, registration and advisement. Each Graduate Department at Tisch has its own specific guidelines and timetable for class registration and advisement and they will assist you in these matters in a timely manner. Please note that the undergraduate registration period is not connected in any way to graduate level programs.

If you have any questions about the program, please feel free to reach out directing to your department at tsp.ma.producing@nyu.edu.
