>> COURSE REGISTRATION: Submit Worksheet by Monday, April 7th - NEW
Step 1: Review the Course Registration Guide. Read this guide carefully and refer back to it as you select your courses. Failure to follow the guidelines may result in registration delays.
Step 3: Our office will review your worksheet, follow up with any questions/concerns, and then register you for courses once registration open in mid-April.
Step 4: We will send you an email with instructions on how to access your final course schedule on Albert in early May. You can request changes to your schedule via email until Monday, September 15th at 4:30pm, the last day of the Add/Drop period.
Please note that while changes can be made through the first 2 weeks of classes, it is important to take the initial registration process very seriously since making changes gets increasingly challenging as class fill up. Additionally, once Fall semester classes start, you can enroll in Stern classes only.
Important note: as an exchange IBEX student, you cannot enroll yourself in classes.

>> VISAS
Your acceptance letter was emailed to you on March 17 with the subject line "NYU Stern - Acceptance Letter & Next Steps". Make sure to download the email and save it as a pdf, you will need it as part of your visa application material.
Once you follow the instructions to complete NYU's Office of Global Services (OGS) e-Form and pay the required fee, OGS will email your DS-2019 to your NYU email address. You will need to print and sign the DS-2019 to apply for your J-1 student visa at your local US Embassy or Consulate. You cannot digitally sign your DS-2019.
It is highly recommended you start your visa process as soon as possible. Processing times are expected to be longer than usually and visa appointment availability at US embassies and consulates might be limited.
If you have any questions about the visa application process, please consult with your home school.
Note that if you already completed the e-Form for your DS-2019, then OGS is currently processing your documents to produce your visa paperwork.

>> HOUSING: NYU (ON-CAMPUS) or OFF-CAMPUSAs Incoming Exchange students, you have two options for housing during your semester. Please read below for more information on each.
On Campus Housing:
*Special Note: We have been informed by Housing Services that NYU Housing is expected to be at full capacity in Fall 2025. Your application will place you on a waiting list and it is unlikely that NYU Housing will be able to extend an offer. As a result, we strongly recommend you explore off-campus housing options.*
- Application for Waiting List: To apply for on-campus housing please visit your NYU Home account and click on the Housing Forms card. We encourage you to apply as soon as possible but note that applications are not reviewed on a first come first served basis. Fall 2025 visiting students should apply for the full academic year, our office will coordinate with NYU Housing services to ensure your housing contract is cancelled at the end of the Fall semester.
- Timeline: Housing assignment updates will be sent in the summer and will continue to be made through mid to late
August up until Orientation week. Please be patient!- If offered a residence hall placement, you will receive an email from NYU Housing. An offer indicates you are guaranteed housing, but you will not know the exact location or type of housing until closer to the start of the semester. Preferences are not guaranteed. Keep this in mind when deciding whether or not to accept the
offer. - Important note: As an exchange student you are NOT required to submit the $1000 housing reservation payment, however, you will need to complete the Deferment Request Agreement step in the application. In the deferment step, please indicate Exchange Student in the comments section, agree to the terms, and click Submit. If you do not see this step following the “Application Confirmation” step, please contact housing@nyu.edu.
- Please be sure to accept or decline any offers by their stated deadline.
- Payment: Varies by housing assignment. The NYU Bursar will send a statement with your estimated housing charges. Your final charges will be adjusted when your assignment is made. Remember - you do not need to pay a deposit at time of offer.
- Check-in: If selected, you will be able to move in starting on August 23rd. The Housing office has granted a special early move-in exception for IBEX students.
- Send us your address: Once you finalize your on-campus location, please email us your address
Important note about NYU Housing: it is extremely unlikely that you will be assigned to a single room. You will most likely share a suite or a room with another student who might have a very different lifestyle than yours. Keep this in mind when deciding whether to accept an offer or not.
Find your own Off-Campus Housing:
If you do not receive or do not like your on-campus housing offer, or prefer to live off-campus, you can find an apartment
off-campus. You may visit NYU's Off-Campus Housing website for recommendations on how and where to find housing.
Once you secure off-campus housing, please email us your address.
***Note: DO NOT use the Craigslist website to find housing in New York City. Exchange students have run into scams and other problems when using this site.
| |
>> IMMUNIZATIONSNew York State has implemented general immunization requirements for all university students. Students who do
not submit their paperwork will be dropped from their classes and will not be allowed to check into NYU Housing.
| |
>> FALL 2025 COHORT CONTACT SHEETWe want to give you the opportunity to connect with one another before the start of the Fall semester. Please fill out this optional contact sheet if you would like to begin speaking to each other. This is also a great opportunity to share resources and discuss off-campus housing options.

>> PLAGIARISM
NYU Stern takes all forms of academic misconduct seriously, including cheating and plagiarism. Often times, exchange students struggle with plagiarism as they are studying in a foreign language and do not clearly understand what constitutes an act of plagiarism.
