Spring 2021: January 25, 2021
Fall 2021: September 8, 2021
Your Admitted Student Portal
Check out the Admitted Student Portal to get content related to your major, campus, your next steps, how to register for classes, orientation, and much more. This is also where you will submit your tuition deposit to secure your spot in the class if you haven't already. You will be able to view a personalized list of your next steps in your Admitted Student Portal.
Have You Submitted Your Deposit?
MoreSubmit your $200 nonrefundable tuition deposit today. Contact your personal admissions counselor if you have questions or concerns about your deposit.
Deposit Deadline for Spring: December 1
Deposit Deadline for Fall: May 1
Are You Registered for Classes?
MoreSpring registration is happening now! Fall registration will begin in April. First, you will receive an email notification when your evaluation is completed. Once this is completed, you will be able to see if you are exempt from a math placement exam. Check your Admitted Student Portal to find out if you need to take exams.
Then, you will meet with an Advising & Enrichment Center (AEC) advisor who will help you select your courses for the upcoming semester.
Please note: If you are not receiving college credit for the first English course required for your major, you may want to submit official SAT/ACT scores prior to your exam or appointment.
Get Started in Your my.NYIT Portal
MorePlease set up your username and password in the my.NYIT Portal. You can set up your username and password by clicking on "first-time users and password reset." This will enable you to create your New York Tech email account, which will be used for all official university notifications, and access NYITConnect to view, accept, or decline your scholarship and/or financial aid. You will need this portal activated to register for classes.
Get Ready for Orientation
MoreYou are required to attend orientation as a new transfer student. We will be offering a virtual orientation program. We will contact you with more information. This will be your opportunity to learn about student services and campus life, get to know your future classmates, and get ready for college life.
NOTE: All first-year and transfer students are required to login and complete Part 1 and Part 2 of AlcoholEdu and Part 1 and Part 2 of Sexual Assault Prevention online education programs. These programs will open prior to New Student Orientation.
Important Reminders
Submit Your FAFSA
MoreTo be eligible for merit-based, state, or federal assistance, you must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA opens annually on October 1. If you received a scholarship in your acceptance package, you do need to complete the FAFSA in order to receive this scholarship. By completing the FAFSA, you may be eligible for additional financial aid. Once we receive your FAFSA, we will send you a financial assistance package that will be inclusive of all awards you have received. If you have not provided New York Tech with your Social Security Number, you will need to do so before your financial assistance package can be created. Enter your Social Security Number in the my.NYIT Portal under the NYITConnect tile.
Our FAFSA school code is 002782. Our state TAP code is 2120. Complete your FAFSA online starting October 1.
Submit Immunization Documents
MoreNew York State requires all students to show proof of immunizations prior to the first day of classes and no later than the end of the first semester. Find out how to get your immunization documents and submit them online.
Plan for Housing
MoreDecide if you would like to live in one of New York Tech's full-service residence halls, located a short bus or subway ride away from campus. To live in a residence hall, please complete a Residential Hall Application, submit a nonrefundable housing deposit, and select your meal plan.
Send Your Final, Official Documents
MoreYou need to submit final, official college transcripts, test scores (if applicable), and all other required admission materials to the Office of Admissions prior to the start of classes but no later than the end of your first semester. Failure to provide these final documents will result in registration holds and may result in cancelation of financial aid.
We prefer to receive transcripts electronically. Submit your official transcripts through one of several electronic transcripts networks that New York Tech participates: National Student Clearinghouse, Parchment Exchange, Scoir, and eSCRIP-SAFE. If your prior institution does not participate with one of our networks, they may send an electronic transcript directly to admissions@nyit.edu.
