*NOTE to New Students:
You will not be able to
follow the steps below until NYU has received and processed your
tuition deposit.
1. Find your Net ID
Your Net ID is a unique alphanumeric that NYU assigns to you (e.g.,
xyz111). When followed by "@nyu.edu," your Net ID serves
as your NYU e-mail address (as in "xyz111@nyu.edu").
Go to http://start.nyu.edu
and follow the prompts to find your Net ID and create a password.
2. Log in to NYU Home
Go to NYU Home
and log in using your Net ID and password that you created. NYU
Home is a customizable Web interface that provides access to many
resources at NYU (see Get
E-Connected). For more information about NYU Home, see the Help
links on the left side of the NYU
Home screen.
3. Activate and Customize Your E-Mail
Once you have activated your Net ID, you must
visit NYU Home
to activate your e-mail account. Once you are logged in to NYU
Home, click on the "E-mail" link in the top left corner of the
screen to bring up the Messenger Express web-based e-mail application.
You must use NYU Home and Messenger Express when you check your
e-mail for the first time. Afterwards, you may choose to check your
NYU e-mail using another application, such as Outlook. See NYU
Home E-mail Help for complete instructions.
If you would like to forward your NYU
e-mail to another address, such as your home or work-email
address, follow these steps:
- Log in to NYU Home
and open your e-mail using Messenger Express.
- Click on the "Options" tab in Messenger Express and
select "Settings" from the left-hand menu bar.
- In the Mail Forwarding window, enter the email address (or
addresses) where you wish to forward your mail. You can enter
as many email addresses as you want, but they must each be entered
on separate line.
- Click Save Changes to begin forwarding your email.
- Test this immediately by sending mail to yourself at your
NYU Home account.
