ITP Help/F.A.Q. | Advisement / Registration

Smile! Go to Room 453 and have your picture taken by Midori!
Activate your NYU netID (see Getting Your NYU Card) and then log into the People page on the ITP website and edit your personal information.
Make sure that you are cleared to register. If you�ve previously taken courses at NYU, things such as MMR vaccinations shots, or past fees can cause your access to the registration system to be blocked. You can check online through ALBERT (access through http://home.nyu.edu) at any time to double check that you are ready to register. We urge you to do this prior to Thursday, September 3 to ensure that you have time to address any problems before registration begins. Should you discover a problem please alert us immediately.
IMPORTANT: On Thursday, September 3 at 3:00 p.m, the ALBERT online registration system will open up and allow all new ITP students to register for courses. At this time, (or anytime thereafter) go online to ALBERT (access through http://home.nyu.edu) to register. Refer to the ITP Fall 2009 Call Numbers sheet as the call numbers are the numbers you will enter when prompted by the ALBERT on-line registration system.

ALBERT REGISTRATION Registering via ALBERT is as simple as:

1. Set your browser to http://home.nyu.edu

2. Log in using your NYU netID and password

3. Click on the ACADEMICS tab in the upper left-hand corner

4. Click on �Student Log-in� located under the section marked �Albert for Students� in the upper left-hand corner.

5. Under the Registration menu, Click on Register. You should see two drag bars. On the School/Level bar, choose Tisch School of the Arts-Graduate. The Term of Registration bar should be set to Fall Semester, 2009. Click on submit.

6. You should see five boxes to enter the Course Call Number(s) of your course selections with drag bars to the left of the boxes set to Add. Enter the five-digit CALL NUMBER(s) of the course(s) you want to add, and click on submit. (Note-you may request up to five courses at once on ALBERT.)

7. ALBERT will show you a listing of the courses in which you are enrolled, and five new boxes to enter new selections. Please check your schedule to ensure you enrolled in the section you desired. If you reconsider your choice or you enrolled in the wrong section, you can drop by dragging the drag bar next to the course to �Drop�.

If a course you request is full, you can choose to place yourself on the waiting list for the course. (In ALBERT, remember to scroll down to WAITLIST in the box next to the course if you want to avail yourself of this option.) The system will automatically register you in the class if you are at the top of the waiting list and someone in the course drops the class. If you are within the first five on the waiting list for a course, you can attend the first class meeting. If you are not enrolled in the course by the second class meeting, you MAY NOT continue to attend the class. YOU MAY NOT �SIT IN� ON A CLASS�YOU CAN NOT ATTEND A CLASS IF YOU ARE NOT ENROLLED IN THE CLASS, OR AMONG THE TOP FIVE ON THE WAITING LIST.

NOTE: NONE OF THE TIER 1 FOUNDATION COURSES HAVE WAITING LISTS. IF YOU DON�T GET INTO YOUR PREFERRED SECTION OF A TIER 1 COURSE, YOU WILL NEED TO CHOOSE AN ALTERNATE SECTION.

As ALBERT will automatically register you off a waiting list, you must carefully monitor your registration if you register for more than 18 credits (including waitlisted classes). Please check this daily. If you are enrolled for more than 18 credits on or after September 8, you will be responsible for extra registration fees. If you are enrolled for more than 18 credits on or after September 15, you will be responsible for the added registration fee and 30% of the tuition associated with the additional credits. As the amount of tuition refunded to you decreases significantly with each week, you should move quickly to address any problems with over-registration. (See attached Drop/Add and refund schedule)
You can NOT register for a class that meets at the same time as a class in which you are already enrolled.
You can drop and add classes using ALBERT until September 21. After this date, you need to come see Gordie for written approval to make schedule changes.
Monday, September 28 is the last day to drop course without the permission of the Dean. If you drop a course after this date, you will receive a �W� (for withdrawal) on for the course. Though withdrawals appear on your transcript, they do not affect your grade point average. For more information on TSOA academic policies, you can download a copy of the Tisch School of the Arts Policies and Procedures Handbook by clicking on the pdf link on the TSOA Student Affairs website: http://students.tisch.nyu.edu/page/acadServices
The last day to withdraw from a course is Monday, November 9.
Full tuition and fees are due by Wednesday, September 23.
NOTE: We recommend that you DO NOT make major changes to your program without consulting your academic adviser. A minimum of 12 points (usually 3 courses) is required to maintain your full-time student status. If you drop classes and fall below this limit, you may jeopardize your standing in the program, your financial aid, and your visa status (for international students.)
If you have any problems with registration, please contact Gordie at 212-998-1889 or e-mail edward.gordon@nyu.edu.
