Finalizing Admission

When you receive your acceptance letter you will also receive a packet of information containing an enrollment card. If not, please contact the Dean's Office. Please fill out this card and return it to the school. This will secure a place for you for the next semester. The Dean's office encourages you to contact them as well.

If you would like to visit the school please contact us so that we can make arrangements. 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 want to talk to with the assistant to the chair for your department. At this time you may complete 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.

HousingTop of page link

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 found through a variety of resources. The first consideration students should make is whether or not they will have access to a vehicle. If a student is relying upon public transportation, they are encouraged to look at and around the bus route to find a suitable location to live. Students having access to automobiles may want to look through local newspaper listings, such as www.timesunion.com, or at the Office of Residential Life by checking out 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 students needs.
