Administrative Student Services
ADMINISTRATIVE STUDENT SERVICES Office of the Registrar The Office of the Registrar is located on the second floor of the 69 Street building. Students can receive assistance with online registration, identification cards, transcript requests, enrollment verification, lockers, and updating their records. In order to attend courses at NYSID, one must be formally accepted by the Office of Admissions or be enrolled as a nonmatriculated or continuing education student. Those with prior education or professional experience desiring to enroll in undergraduate courses without taking the prerequisites at NYSID must have the approval of an academic advisor. These students must provide necessary documentation such as a portfolio or transcript along with relevant course descriptions to demonstrate qualifications prior to registration. Upon matriculation, students plan their programs of study with an academic advisor. Academic advisors are assigned to each student at the time that they first request information about the College, and more formally, at the time at which the student begins to take classes. Advisees are assigned by first initial of their last name. Each semester, students register during the registration period and according to procedures specified by the registrar. Students should register during regular registration periods in order to ensure having their desired schedule. Schedules are published in course bulletins, which are posted on the NYSID website and Portal. Returning students are responsible for knowing the registration schedules and will
be charged a late fee for registering after the regular registration period. This late fee is not negotiable. Late registrations are accepted through the first week of a semester. Late registrations for the summer session must be processed before the second class.
Student Identification Cards Student ID cards and lanyards can be obtained in the Office of the Registrar during the first week of the semester for new students. Hours for obtaining a student ID card are posted on the NYSID Portal and throughout both campuses. Replacement ID cards can be obtained throughout the school year. A fee of $25 will be charged to issue a replacement ID card, and a fee of $5 will be charged to replace a lost lanyard. Semester validation stickers for continuing students’ ID cards are available in the Office of the Registrar, the 70th Street reception desk, and the Graduate Center reception desk. Student ID cards and lanyards are issued to all students registered for credit-bearing courses and must be worn whenever on campus. Printed on the student ID card is the student’s ID number, which is the same number used for future registrations and to access computer accounts and the NYSID Portal. Student ID cards must have a current semester validation sticker in order to check out books from the NYSID Library and for entry to New York University’s Bobst Library, the Cooper Union Library, and the Gimbel Library at Parsons School of Design. Many art supply stores and museums accept the student ID card as basis for student discounts. In addition, a student ID card
