http://www.nyu.edu/registrar/
The Student Services Center includes the Registrar, Bursar and Financial Aid offices. This center provides a wide range of services including billing, registration, grading, refunds, account information, loans, payments, graduation services, and transcripts.
Register
Once you have submitted vaccination records and been advised, you may register for courses via ALBERT, NYU's student information services website. ALBERT is accessed through the NYUHome web portal www.home.nyu.edu. However, if you register late, you must register in person at the Registrar's Office (located at 25 West 4th Street) with approval from both the department and GSAS Graduate Enrollment Services. Check the Registration Schedule on ALBERT for registration and payment deadlines.
Before registering, familiarize yourself with NYU drop/add and waitlist procedures. If you drop a course on or after the first day of classes, you will be responsible for a portion of your tuition and/or registration fees according to the refund schedule shown on the Bursar's web site Please note that all drops must be approved by both your academic department and Graduate Enrollment Services after the first day of class. Also, be careful when waitlisting courses since you will be responsible for charges once registered. As soon as space becomes available, ALBERT automatically registers you for waitlisted courses. You should check ALBERT frequently to confirm your schedule and remove yourself from unnecessary waitlists. If you change your schedule after classes begin, you will be responsible for a portion of your charges.
Update Local Address, Cell Phone Number and Email Address
http://www.nyu.edu/registrar/registration/registration-guidelines.html

Students can also call or e-mail the office and speak to a Bursar Student Account, Loan or Refund representative regarding additional questions or concerns they might about their account.
Billing and Payment Dates:
The University's Electronic billing system is the official means of generating tuition bills to enrolled students. Electronic billing enables you to view your NYU tuition statement online, and also make electronic check payments toward your student account. You can also print or save a copy of your statement for future reference.
All students who enroll for courses will receive an e-mail in mid-July, at their official NYU e-mail address (netid@nyu.edu), notifying them a bill for tuition, fees, and housing is now available. Students enrolling for courses after mid-July will receive this e-mail notification a few days after registering.
This notification will also be sent to a secondary e-mail address, if the student provided one to the university through the Albert Student Information system.
The e-mail notification will provide a web link to the NYU Electronic Bill website. During this initial visit to the NYU Electronic Bill website, students will create an E-bill User Name and Password. At that time, students can also invite parents or other authorized users to create their own electronic bill user profile. After parents sign up, an e-mail notification will be sent to both the student and parent each time a new billing statement becomes available. Students can invite multiple users to receive their electronic bill.

Failure to comply with New York State and New York University requirements will result in denial of registration privileges. For more information, visit: www.nyu.edu/health/requirements.
Confirm Your Health Insurance Plans
Since New York University requires students to have health insurance that meets certain criteria, most GSAS students are enrolled automatically in the NYU Comprehensive Student Health Insurance Plan ($1,963/yr.) as part of the course registration process. Students may change their selection to the Basic Plan ($1,261/yr), or waive coverage entirely if they have sufficient alternative coverage that meets the University's criteria. Changes in enrollment can be made through the online enrollment/waiver process available at www.nyu.edu/health/insurance by the appropriate semester deadlines shown below.
Both the Basic and Comprehensive Plans provide worldwide coverage for medically necessary medical and mental health treatment including hospitalization, laboratory tests, prescriptions, radiology services, physician visits, and medical evacuation and repatriation. Students seeking services in Manhattan must first seek treatment at SHC.
More details about the differences between the Basic and Comprehensive Plans, the University criteria for waiving the plans, and the online enrollment/waiver process can be found in the 2009-2010 Guide to Student Health Insurance and Healthcare at NYU brochure, which will be available online at www.nyu.edu/health/insurance beginning June 23. This important brochure should be reviewed before you choose your enrollment or waiver option.
Enrollment/Waiver Deadlines:
Fall Term – September 30
Spring Term – February 10
Summer Term – June 5
Graduate Assistants and Fully-Funded Fellows
If you are a GA/RA/TA or specifically designated fully-funded graduate student for whom the University has agreed to pay your student health insurance fee, you will be automatically enrolled in the Graduate Student Health Insurance Plan (GSHIP).
