All admitted doctoral students are assigned a University ID number (commonly called an "N number") and a NetID (this serves as the username of your NYU and Stern email addresses). This information was provided on your formal admission letter.
Like most schools, students have a general campus email address and a business school email address. All students must first set up their NYU accounts, then their Stern email accounts. While most Stern and Stern PhD-related communications will be sent to your Stern email, university-level communications will be sent to your NYU email account, so it is important to check both regularly. We recommend forwarding your NYU email to your Stern email.
