How to Register

NYU students register for classes using Albert, NYU’s online student information system. The Albert system requires you to log on to NYUHome using your NetID that has been pre-assigned to you by NYU. Information about registration and registration policies are available on the Registrar’s Office web site (http://nyu.edu/registrar).

For new students, before you can register for classes on Albert you must complete the Online Orientation Portal. Once you complete this you can begin to put courses in your Albert Shopping Cart. These guides will help you understand the process:

Error Messages & Waitlists

Albert does not allow you to register for courses with overlapping schedules. If you get an overlap message that you believe is in error, contact the graduate advisors.

If you put yourself on the Albert wait list for a course, please keep the following in mind: the wait list is a computerized system and the next person on the wait list is automatically enrolled when a space opens up in the class. No confirmation is sent, so you are responsible for checking your status on Albert to see if you’ve been enrolled. Adjust your schedule so that your enrollment in the wait listed course does not take you above your maximum credit load. It is important that you check to see if you are off the wait list and in the course so that you attend all classes for which you are registered and so you can drop courses before you miss the window for tuition refunds.
