Transfer Students: Your Next Steps

Submit your $400 nonrefundable tuition deposit by the deposit deadline, or within two weeks of your acceptance if after the deposit deadline.

Deposit Deadline Extended for Fall: June 1
Deposit Deadline for Spring: December 1

Submit your deposit in your Admitted Student Portal.

Please set up your username and password in the my.NYIT Portal. You can set up your username and password by clicking on "create account/reset password." This will enable you to create your university email account, which will be used for all official NYIT 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.

To 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 NYIT 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.

You must ensure that final, official college transcripts and official scores (such as APs, IBs, A-levels, etc.) are submitted to the Office of Admissions prior to the start of your first semester. Submit your documents in person or mail them to Office of Admissions, New York Institute of Technology, Northern Boulevard, Old Westbury, NY 11568. NYIT prefers 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.
