Admitted Students

Respond to Your Offer of Admission and Confirm Your Enrollment

From NYUHome, go to NYUAlbert and click on "View Application Status." Click on "Admitted Student's Portal," then click "Accept/Decline." To accept your offer of admission, check off the box immediately above the "Accept Offer" button to activate it.

In May, you will receive important communications from our Campus Life and Global Education offices. You will be asked to submit a copy of your passport so that we can start processing student residency visas for any student located outside of the UAE.

If your passport will expire before April 2021, please start the process of renewing your passport immediately. For the sole purpose of the UAE visa, your passport must be valid at least through April 2021, and must contain several blank pages for visa stamps. However, for any other academic or personal travel during the academic year, you will need a passport with longer validity—ideally for the full four years of your expected student status in the UAE. Please plan to renew your passport as soon as possible.

Students that hold a diplomatic passport must apply for a regular passport for the UAE visa process. Visas cannot be porcessed on a diplomatic passport. 

Celebrate with NYU Abu Dhabi

Throughout the month of April, NYU Abu Dhabi is hosting several events—both online and in person⁠—around the world to celebrate the Class of 2024. Registration for these events will become available in March. You'll receive an email once registration is open, directing you to the admitted student portal to reserve your spot. 

In the meantime, reconnect with your friends from Candidate Weekend and meet the rest of your future classmates on our NYU Abu Dhabi Class of 2024 Facebook group.

Activate Your NYU Email

Students admitted to NYU Abu Dhabi as part of the Class of 2024 will receive an email in early May with information about how to set up their NYU Abu Dhabi email address. You will not be able to activate your NYU NetID (network identification) until you receive the initial communication. It will be important for you to activate your NYU NetID immediately as all future communications will be sent solely to your nyu.edu email address.

NYU Password

If you have forgotten your NYU password, you will need to reset it.

Emails from NYU Abu Dhabi

If you are not receiving emails from NYU Abu Dhabi it is possible that you’ve activated your NYU NetID, but did not activate your NYU email. You can activate your NYU email easily by going to the start page and select the link "Google Apps for Education Password." Once you set the password, your email will be activated.

Enroll for Multi Factor Authentication (MFA)

MFA (Multi Factor Authentication) is standard within NYU Abu Dhabi. You will require this to access the student portal and NYU email. Follow the steps to enroll for MFA (NetID required).

Submit Your Final Transcript

Please arrange with your high school counselor or IB Coordinator to have your final transcript sent to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions in New York or Abu Dhabi. Final transcripts can be submitted by your counselor through the Common Application, by email to nyuad.admissions@nyu.edu from your counselor’s school email address, or by mail to either of the following addresses:

Delayed Final Transcripts

Many students will not have their final transcripts by the deadline for a variety of reasons (IB results or A-levels may not be in yet). If your transcripts will not be available until later on in the summer, you are automatically granted an extension to the deadline. Once final or provisional results are available your school must submit them to Admissions immediately.

The Profile(s), and any supporting financial documentation (if requested), are required for all students wishing to be considered for need-based financial support from NYU Abu Dhabi.

You may be asked to submit tax forms and/or financial statements to verify the information reported on your Profile application. You must provide all documentation requested by the Office of Financial Support in a timely manner. Requested documentation should be presented in English or be accompanied by an English translation. Only if you do not respond to data requests or if significant changes or data corrections are determined during the verification process would your award offer be affected.

You may access the details of your award offer on your To Do list through NYU Albert Student Center. On the Home Page you will see the To Do list. You may also view your up-to-date offer under the "Finances" tab, "View Financial Aid" for "2021".

You should read the award letter carefully as it will outline the details and requirements of your offer. You may also view the 2020-2021 estimated Cost of Attendance on NYU Albert Student Center.

If you are expected to receive financial support from a source outside of your family, please notify the Office of Financial Support at nyuad.financial.support@nyu.edu of that assistance. Such support may be in the form of government grants, scholarships from community organizations, or other sources. Any such financial support from an external source will be considered in determining the amount of financial support you ultimately receive from NYU Abu Dhabi. Your combined awards cannot exceed the annual cost of attendance.

It is important to note if your financial support covers home travel, please do not make your own travel arrangements as the University (Office of Global Education) will send you more information and instructions about your travel to Abu Dhabi in mid-May.  

If your financial support does not cover home travel, please make sure you book a flight landing in Abu Dhabi during the scheduled move-in dates for Marhaba. Due to UAE visa regulations, it is necessary for all flights to be booked to arrive in Abu Dhabi (not Dubai or Sharjah).
 
Please note that in mid-May you will also receive more information about the UAE visa process. Once the visa procurement process begins, please do not plan any kind of travel through the UAE prior to Marhaba as this would invalidate the entry permit the University will be arranging for you.

If you have any questions you may send your inquiry to: nyuad.studentmobility@nyu.edu.
