All of the information you need to know in order to register for the fall is contained in your departmental registration handbook, which you can download here. The new student registration handbooks detail registration information, degree requirements, course information, and more. Please read through the handbook and plan your fall schedule using the registration worksheet in the middle of the book. If you have questions, contact Laura Fortes.

You will register for courses by using the NYU registration system, Albert, through your NYUHome account. To do this, you first need to activate your NetID.

Policies on Advanced Standing

For students admitted as freshmen, Advanced Standing, meaning college credit to be applied toward the degree, may be granted based on examination results and the evaluation of college courses taken while in high school. The total number of advanced standing units granted cannot exceed 32. Advanced Standing credit received by NYU is evaluated and posted early in the first semester of enrollment. Freshmen expecting to receive advanced standing credit should check the transcript on Albert to ensure expected credit is posted by mid-October.

​For detailed information about credit for coursework, credit by examination, or Advanced Placement (AP) equivalencies, see the Department of Performance Studies Freshman Handbook.

All transfer students should schedule a meeting with their advisor early in their first semester of study at NYU if they wish to have their transfer credit report reevaluated. 

Advanced Standing and final transfer credit is evaluated and posted early in the first semester of enrollment. All transfers should receive a preliminary notice of transfer credit evaluation at the time of admission. This document should provide enough information to select courses for the first semester. The final transfer credit evaluation should be completed by the end of September of the first semester of enrollment. For detailed information, please see the Department of Performance Studies Transfer Registration Handbook.
