Transfer Students: Your Next Steps

Submit your $200 nonrefundable tuition deposit today. Contact your personal admissions counselor if you have questions or concerns about your deposit.

Deposit Deadline for Fall: May 15
Deposit Deadline for Spring: December 1

Submit your deposit in your Admissions Portal.

Please set up your username and password in the my.NYIT Portal once you have submitted your deposit. It may take 24-48 hours after you submit your deposit to be able to create an account. Once you have set up your username and password, you will also have to enroll in Okta Single Sign-On (SSO). View instructions to set up your Okta account. This will enable you to create your New York Tech email account, which will be used for all official university notifications, and access the Student Service HUB—Your Home for University Business—to view, accept, or decline your scholarship and/or financial aid. You will need this portal activated to register for classes.

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 Admissions Portal to find out if you need to take any exams.

Then, you will meet with an undergraduate advisor who will help you select your courses for the upcoming semester. Advising for Fall 2024 will begin soon, instructions to schedule an advising appointment will be sent to your New York Tech email account.

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, if applicable, prior to your exam or appointment.

You 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.  

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 December 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 Student Service HUB.

Our FAFSA school code is 002782. Our state TAP code is 2120. Complete your FAFSA online starting October 1.

New 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.

Decide 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.

You 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.

Accept or reject your financial aid and arrange a payment plan through the Student Service HUB. Learn how to pay your tuition bill.
