Is the Jan 5 payment date the same for Stern/Tandon/Tisch or different by school?

For the Spring 2026 semester, the payment deadline of January 5, 2026, applies uniformly to all undergraduate students at the Stern School of Business, Tandon School of Engineering, and Tisch School of the Arts. However, graduate students face different deadlines depending on their respective schools.

Graduate Payment Deadlines

  • Stern School of Business: Graduate programs, including the Full-Time MBA, Langone Part-Time MBA, and MS in Accounting, also have a payment deadline of January 5, 2026.
  • Tandon School of Engineering: Graduate students have a later payment deadline of January 14, 2026.
  • Tisch School of the Arts: Similar to Tandon, graduate students must pay by January 14, 2026.
This discrepancy highlights the importance of checking specific deadlines based on your program to ensure timely payments. For further details, students can refer to the NYU Office of the Bursar.

Dining

My student missed the February 2 meal plan change deadline; is there any way to adjust it now for the spring semester

If your student missed the February 2 deadline for changing their meal plan for the spring semester, there are still potential avenues to explore for adjustments.

Contact Ask Campus Services The first step is to reach out to Ask Campus Services as soon as possible. Since the online portal for meal plan changes typically closes after the deadline, direct communication is essential. You can contact them via:

  • Email: AskCampusServices@nyu.edu
  • Phone: 212-998-4900
Make sure to include the student's full name and NYU ID number to expedite the process.

Exceptions for Special Circumstances NYU generally does not allow exceptions to meal plan policies unless there are documented reasons, such as:

  • Medical or Disability Accommodations: If the change is due to a medical condition, submit a special accommodations form with documentation to the Moses Center for Student Accessibility.
  • Dietary Needs: For students with specific dietary restrictions, consult with the NYU Eats Registered Dietitian for assistance.
Financial Considerations If a change is approved, be aware that any adjustments will be prorated based on the date of the change, and unused Dining Dollars from the fall semester will only roll over if the student maintains an active meal plan.

Campus life

How many grad tickets do we get? And is there one big commencement or is it separated by departments?

Graduation at New York University consists of two main events: the All-University Commencement and individual school-specific ceremonies, each requiring separate tickets.

All-University Commencement

This large ceremony takes place at Yankee Stadium, where graduates can order:

  • 1 ticket for themselves
  • Up to 2 guest tickets
School-Specific Ceremonies

Each department holds its own ceremony, with ticket allotments varying by school. For instance:

  • CAS Baccalaureate: 2 guest tickets
  • Tisch Salute: 2 guest tickets
  • Stern (Graduate): Up to 3 guest tickets
  • Wagner Convocation: Up to 4 guest tickets
Most schools also offer a lottery for additional tickets, though extra tickets are not guaranteed. The All-University Commencement celebrates all graduates together, while individual ceremonies recognize graduates individually, allowing them to walk across the stage NYU Commencement.
