Accept Your Offer
Here is a step-by-step guide to help you in your transition from applicant to Online MHA graduate student. Follow the steps to activate your enrollment and also find answers to frequently asked questions about this process.
1. Reply to your Offer of Admission
After you have viewed your acceptance letter on your Application Status page, reply to our offer of admission by completing the "Reply to Offer of Admission" form on your Forms checklist.
2. Activate Your NYU NetID
You must activate your NetID to access student resources and submit your enrollment deposit. Your NetID is in your acceptance letter.
Visit NYU Start and follow the prompts to activate your NYU NetID. Activating your NetID provides you access to a number of student resources and services. Your NetID is a unique alphanumeric code found in your acceptance letter. It is not your University ID. Your University ID, also known as your N number, is a 9-character ID number starting with a capital N.
For help, contact the NYU ITS Help Desk at 212.998.3333 or email askITS@nyu.edu.
3. Submit Your Enrollment Deposit in Albert
To accept our offer of admission, log into ALBERT and submit your US $1000 nonrefundable deposit using the following steps:
A. Log on to your NYU Home account with your NYU NetID and password you set in Step 1.

If you have applied to multiple NYU programs, and are not intending to pursue a master's-level dual degree, please ensure that you deposit only for the school in which you wish to matriculate. If you have been accepted into another NYU school and you do not intend to enroll in that program, please contact that school and ask them to withdraw your application. Please also notify us that you have done so because you may not be able to enroll in Wagner courses if you are matriculated elsewhere at NYU.
4. SUBMIT YOUR OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPTS AND PROOF OF BACHELOR’S DEGREE CONFERRAL
Admitted students are required to hold a four-year bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university in the United States or an equivalent degree from a foreign country.
Admitted students are required to provide an official copy of all academic transcripts and proof of degree conferral prior to enrollment. Instructions are communicated upon admission.
You will receive an email within a week of the offer of admission indicating your transcript status. If the email indicates that we do not have your official, sealed transcript(s), please contact the appropriate college or university to request that they send your official transcript(s) to wagner.admissions.docs@nyu.edu.
If your college or university cannot send your official transcript(s) digitally, please request that they are mailed in a sealed envelope to the following address:
NYU Wagner Admissions
295 Lafayette Street, 2nd Floor
New York, New York 10012
Please note: Graduating seniors should submit their transcripts upon official degree conferral and no later than three weeks prior to the start of their first term.
5. Review the pre-orientation checklist and resources
