Finalizing Admission

Accepted MPH Students: In addition to notifying us of your enrollment plans by completing the Confirmation of Acceptance form, accepted MPH students must complete and submit the Enrollment Deposit transmittal form to begin the enrollment process. A non-refundable enrollment deposit of $100 is required of all students who decide to accept our offer of admission. This enrollment deposit will secure your place in the incoming class and be applied to your student account. Once you submit the enrollment deposit, you will be provided with advisement  instructions for registering, schedule of classes and housing information.

If you applied through the University at Albany Apply Yourself electronic application system (not SOPHAS), you must also confirm enrollment via the Apply Yourself system to activate enrollment.

Accepted Students in all other programs: In addition to notifying us of your enrollment plans by completing the Confirmation of Acceptance form, please also confirm with your specific department that you are going to enroll.

If you applied through the University at Albany Apply Yourself electronic application system (not SOPHAS), you must also confirm enrollment via the Apply Yourself system to activate enrollment.

If you would like to visit the School please email sphadmissions@uamail.albany.edu . Typical visits to the School include a tour of the facility and the opportunity to meet with faculty members in your department. During this visit you may also wish to speak with the assistant to the chair for your department and obtain preliminary advisement so that you can register for your first semester of classes.
The next step most students take is to secure financial assistance. The main University at Albany website has a variety of options and may assist you in your search. ( http://www.albany.edu/financialaid/index2.shtml )

Housing

Both on and off-campus housing options exist for graduate students. Empire Commons, an apartment style living complex, is available at the Uptown Campus. For more information please visit www.albany.edu/housing

Off-campus housing can be obtained through a variety of resources. The first thing students should consider is whether or not they will have access to a vehicle. If students are relying upon public transportation, they are encouraged to look at and around bus routes to find a suitable location to live. Students with access to automobiles may want to look through local newspaper listings, such as www.timesunion.com or at the Office of Residential Life through their website at www.albany.edu/housing/living/rl_offcampushousing.html. This website is accessible to all University at Albany students, however and often caters to undergraduate student needs. Additional housing information will be mailed with your acceptance letter.
