Admitted Graduate Students

Graduate Student Welcome

Congratulations on your acceptance and welcome to NYIT! We look forward to seeing you on campus.

Before you begin your studies here, here is a quick to-do list:

  • Secure your place in the upcoming class: Complete the Enrollment Reply Form in your acceptance package as soon as possible-preferably before May 1 for the fall semester. The $500 non-refundable deposit will secure your place. You may also submit your deposit through NYITConnect (more below on activating your NYITConnect account).
  • Graduate students must meet with their academic advisor to register (list of academic advisors). All first-semester graduate students must register in person.
  • Activate your NYITConnect account: Once you are admitted for classes, you can activate your NYITConnect user name and create a password for NYIT MyMail (your NYIT e-mail account) and NYITConnect, which allows you to conduct academic and financial business with NYIT. Your NYIT e-mail is the main form of communication with students about academic and college-wide notices and/or changes, and NYITConnect, allows you to register for classes, obtain grades, and academic progress reports. You can also forward your NYIT e-mail to your personal e-mail account.
  • Proof of degree and final transcripts: Since your admission to NYIT may be contingent upon successful completion of course work in progress, it is your responsibility to ensure final official transcripts are filed with the Office of Admissions. Your Proof of Degree and graduation date is required of all incoming graduate students.
  • Immunizations: NYIT requires that all students show proof of immunizations before they can attend classes. Please complete the Student Immunization Form (PDF download) and mail it to NYIT.
