➪Check your enrollment appointment day and time.

Registration appointments determine when a student can begin registration. Go to your Albert Student Center and at the top of the home page you will see the "Enrollment Dates" section.

2 -Registering on NYU Albert

See the tutorials below or visit this page.

Each section includes a video and text below it.

Course Search| Thissearch toolmakes it easy to find the class you want, at the time you need.Another tool to use to find your class is to look at the schedule on our website. From the semester course schedule, copy the #Class (the blue number) and paste it in the enrollment box on NYU Albert Shopping Cart.
Validate Classes|Validating the classes in your shopping cart allows you to check ahead of time if you will encounter certain obstacles when you go to enroll. The validate function checks to see if the classes in your shopping cart have time conflicts or if the class is restricted to a certain group. You do not need to wait until your enrollment appointment to use this feature; you can validate classes as soon as you place them in the shopping cart.
Add Classes/Enroll|Thistool allows you to addthe classes you want to enroll. It will only appear if you have classes in your shopping cart
Drop Classes|Thistool allows you to drop a class.Check here the academic calendar to learn when the add/drop period ends for each semester. After that period, when dropping courses, students must be aware of theTuition Refund Schedule. Tuition refunds are given according to theBursar's schedule, and registration and service fees are never refundable once the term begins.
Swap Classes|Swapping classes allows you to drop and add in one process. This is especially useful for section changes in multi-sectioned lab courses.
Edit Swap | Designate (or change) a swap option for any of your waitlisted courses.
Edit Enrollment | Change the number of units in a variable unit class or change to a different (open) section of a course's non-primary component (e.g., recitation, lab, and lecture).
Waitlists | Students may choose to join a waitlist of a closed course during the registration period and until the add/drop deadline. Although the course will remain closed to other students, if/when a seat opens the waitlist process runs several times a day to enroll wait-listed students on a first-come-first-serve basis.The only way to get off the wait list is to wait to see if someone drops the class.

3 -Important Waitlist Information

The wait list does not guarantee a seat in a course
Students should enroll into alternate sections first
The only way to get off the wait list is to wait to see if someone drops the class
If a preferred section is closed with a waitlist option, students should enroll first into their alternate-choice section, and then use the swap function to place themselves onto the waitlist for the “first choice” section. Students can monitor their wait-list position via Nyu Albert student center by viewing “my class schedule”
Students may drop themselves from a wait-list by following the same process for dropping an enrolled course.

4 - Now Register!

When you go to register, you simply have to click "Finish Enrolling" to complete the process.

NOTE: putting a course into your cart does not guarantee a spot - you must complete the registration process.

To avoid being closed out of courses or specific section, please register atyour Enrollment appointment or soon after (we strongly recommend registering the first day of registration). If you wait, you will risk being closed out of courses.

5 - Important Registration Considerations

➪Course numbers vs. class numbers know the difference |Course numbers are the prefix of a course (ex: GPH-GU 2106 is the course number for Epidemiology). Class numbers instead are the numbers used to enroll in a course in Albert.

➪Review the course schedule|The easiest way to find a course on Albert is to look for it on our GPH Course Schedule (e.g., Fall 20XX Course Schedule)and enter in the class numbers into Albert. Be sure to look at the “Notes” section, which indicates any special dates, restrictions, codes needed, etc. for a course.

➪Review the graduate and doctoral course syllabi| The course syllabi page includes the syllabi of each class offered at GPH. Reviewing the syllabus of a course you are interested inwillgive you a lot of useful information.

➪Use the Shopping Cart and Validate tools prior to registration |Albert allows you to “pre-register” for courses, meaning you can go into the system as soon as courses are viewable in Albert. Select your courses, and add them into the “Shopping Cart" (accessible by clicking on the relevant semester tab).

➪Check the “Prerequisites” section |Prerequisites are set conditions required for enrollment into a course. Pre-requisite courses must be completed prior to enrollment. Co-requisites courses must be taken in conjunction with the requisite course during the same semester. Students will be blocked from enrollment into a course if set requisites are not complete or currently in-progress.

➪Time Conflicts |Students are not permitted to register for courses with conflicting meeting times.

➪Program Adjustments (Add/Drop) |Students may add or drop courses from their schedules until the published Add/Drop Deadline. Students process schedule adjustments via NYU Albert Student Center. A course dropped after the Add/Drop deadline is considered a Withdrawal, and withdrawn courses will remain in the student’s transcript with a grade of “W” (which has no GPA penalty).

➪Late Registration / Add / Drop Period |The first two weeks of a regular semester are considered “late registration” or the “drop/add period.” During this period, students are responsible for finalizing their registrations. Students who do not finalize registration by the published Drop/Add Deadline will not be permitted to enroll for that semester. Check here the academic calendar to learn when the add/drop period ends for each semester.

➪Course Withdrawal |Students may withdraw from a course (for a W grade) until the published withdrawal deadline using the Course Withdrawal Request. Students process withdrawals online via NYU Albert Student Center. Withdrawn courses remain on the student’s transcript with a grade of W which is not calculated into the GPA. Once entered on the student’s record, a W grade cannot be changed to any other grade.

An F grade is recorded for any student who ceases to attend a course without formally withdrawing in the required fashion by the deadline. Although formal approval is not required, students are strongly encouraged to consult with their advisor, Financial Aid Office, and OGS (if international) prior to withdrawing from a course. A course withdrawal may impact academic progress, delay graduation, or affect a student’s enrollment status, Visa eligibility, and financial aid eligibility.

➪Update your contact information in Albert |Go to your Student Center and click "Personal Info." You are required to have a current "NYU Emergency Alert" cell phone number and emergency contact to register. Students will not be allowed to register for classes without this information on file in Albert. Make updates in the "Personal Info" section of your Student Center.

➪Continuous Enrollment Fall & Spring Semesters |All students are required to be continuously enrolled each Fall and Spring semester until graduation. If you are not able to enroll for a term you need to formally file for a Leave of Absence in the NYU Albert Student Center.

➪J-Term & Summer Term |NYU GPH offers a selection of courses during the Summer Term and January Term (J-Term). These terms are optional, students are not required to enroll in courses.Note: courses offered during J-Term are three-week shorter-format courses that allow students to focus intensively on specific academic interests. Credits earned in J-Term counts towards the Spring semester.

6 - Find your classroom

Students may view classroom locations on their personalized class schedules via NYU Albert Student Center.

Check your official class schedule: sign in to Albert, click on Student Center, and then My Class Schedule.
Look for building and room number: your schedule will include an abbreviation for each class room and building. For example, if a lecture meets in room 101 of CANT, it will be at Cantor Film Center.
To find the meaning of all building abbreviations, visit the Classroom Locations page and click on A-Z Listing to scroll through a full alphabetical list of NYU buildings.
Use the Interactive Campus Map to view the mapped location of all campus buildings and their full address. Click on A-Z Listing to scroll through a full alphabetical list of NYU buildings.

7 - Evaluate your Courses

Course evaluations help foster a culture of dialogue around teaching and learning within the NYU community. Evaluation results provide students with information to help steer their academic choices, while faculty use feedback from the evaluations to improve their teaching practices and curriculum design. Student participation is key to this process: the more students who submit evaluations, the more helpful information is available to all.

Results from the Albert Course Evaluation tool are available to students via their Albert Student Center. After logging in, click the "Evaluation Published Results" link on the Home page.
