1. Practice coding on Code.org (express course recommended)
All admitted students need to complete these steps before the program begins.

Activate your NYU NetID and accept/decline your admission to the program 

If you haven’t already done so, you can activate your NetID via the NYU Start Page by clicking “Activate Your NetID” and following the prompts. You will use your NetID to log into your applicant portal. 

After viewing your decision letter, you will see instructions in your applicant portal for accepting or declining your offer.
 

It is important for all students to be familiar with the rules and policies of the program. Therefore, all students and their parents/guardians need to review the online NYU Summer High School Programs Handbook, which includes important information about the rules, policies, and expectations of the program.

Students will receive an email with links to forms and submission instructions after they are admitted and accept their admission. Forms are completed and submitted online via DocuSign. Forms for minors (students under the age of 18 at the time of form submission) are completed and signed by the student’s parents or legal guardians. Forms for students over the age of 18 are completed and signed by the student.

If you do not receive a program form email or you have difficulty submitting any of the required forms, please contact NYU University Programs at university.programs@nyu.edu or 212-998-2292.

Please follow the instructions on this page to get your NYU ID. You will need to upload a photo in advance and will receive an email with instructions on where and when to pick up your ID. Please do this in advance of the first day of class, as you will need your NYU ID to enter the building for class.

Once we are approaching the start date, you will receive information about Orientation. Please plan to attend a virtual orientation session. It is important that you attend the Orientation and know all the program details before start the program. 

If needed, the Moses Center for Student Accessibility (CSA) assists students in obtaining appropriate and reasonable accommodations and services.  Accommodations are determined on a case-by-case basis; however, examples include extended time on exams, a smaller proctored testing environment, and supplemental class notes. 

Students are strongly encouraged to contact CSA well in advance (a minimum of one month) of the beginning of the program to allow necessary time to review disability requests and implement accommodations.  Please contact CSA at mosescsa@nyu.edu or 212-998-4980 with any questions you may have about their services.

We hope the information makes you, the parents feel informed as you help your child prepare for the program.  As a parent, the best thing you can do to assist your student with preparations is to discuss the program with one another.  Conversations about what to expect while studying at NYU and experiencing life as an undergraduate student can be immensely helpful.

If you are overseeing program preparations, we encourage you to include your student. It will help them know what to expect before they arrive and get the most out of their NYU experience once they are here.
