Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music

Admitted Students

Congratulations on your acceptance to NYU Tisch School of the Arts, The Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music!

What's next? You should check out the NYU Next Steps page here for information about how to confirm your enrollment and begin making the appropriate arrangements for your NYU career.

NYU EMAILS

The first thing you should do is look for an email from NYU that assigns you a NET ID, which will also be the first part of your NYU EMAIL (ex. smm549). Once you have that NET ID, you may activate your NYU email and NYU Google account. You activate this by putting in your NET ID and creating a password at start.nyu.edu.

Once your NYU email has been activated, we will be communicating with you regarding Orientation and Fall Registration exclusively through your NYU email. All communications will ONLY go to you at your NYU email address, so we suggest you get it set up and that you either start checking it regularly OR have it set up to forward to an email address that you DO check regularly.

REGISTRATION OVERVIEW

You can find the New Student Registration page here. You can find the Tisch Incoming Student page here. You will receive an email from the department to your NYU email in late May or early June with specific information and further instructions about registration.

Admitted Students FAQs

I HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED TO THE PROGRAM BUT AM UNABLE TO ATTEND AT THIS TIME, DO YOU ALLOW STUDENTS TO DEFER THEIR ADMISSION?

If you’ve been offered admission as a first-year student to NYU, you may request to defer your enrollment for one full year. If your request is approved, you do not have to file a new application and are guaranteed readmission for the following year.

Students admitted from the waitlist or as transfers cannot defer their enrollment. If you fall into one of those categories and cannot enroll for the upcoming semester, you will need to re-apply for admission.

For more information about deferment, visit the NYU-Undergraduate Admissions website.

 

Will I be assigned an advisor?

Yes! By the time you join us for orientation in August, you will have also been assigned a full-time faculty academic advisor. However, you will not need to meet or speak with them until that time. In the meantime, our Student Services Administrator will help you with everything you need to get set for the fall.

When will I register for fall courses?

All new students are assigned a registration appointment time. This usually happens in the second or third week of June. You will receive multiple emails and communications from the department and NYU informing you when your registration appointment time is.

How will I register for fall courses?

Meet Albert

Albert is NYU’s student registration system. It’s best to get some help in learning how to use it. Here’s a helpful link to learn more. Once you learn your way around Albert, you will find some holds on your account, one may be an advisor registration hold. Don’t worry, you will be cleared en masse the day of registration so that you’re able to register for classes. 

How do I apply my Advanced Standing Credits?

If you are coming to us with any Advanced Standing credits, please make sure they are sent to NYU. It might even be a good idea to keep a copy of the official transcript yourself. No advanced standing credit for first-year students will be reviewed or awarded until after completion of your first year.
