Cross Registration
For Stern Students:
When registering for other NYU division courses, you must register through Stern. The courses must be on the Stern Pre-Approved Course List or they will need approval through the MBA Academic Affairs - Program Advising Office. Without prior approval, courses will not count towards the MBA degree. All cross registration is subject to seat availability.
For Non-Stern Students:
You may only register for a maximum of 6 Stern credits per term and you must register through your NYU program advisor. Depending on your NYU program, there is an overall 15-18 credit max for Stern courses. Please refer to the Non-Stern course registration page for detailed guidelines.
Students automatically get a Stern account after registering; this account must be activated in order to access Stern class resources.
Declaration/Change of Specialization
Full and Part-Time Students:
The area of interest that you indicated on your application for admission to the Stern School will become your specialization. If you wish to change your specialization at any time, you may do so via your Remaining Requirements page. Please be reminded that while specializations are optional and all students graduate with a General Management major. Once a specialization has been declared it must be supported by the revelant course work and it is the student's responsibility to remove the specialization if the requisite course work has not been satisifed. For further questions, please contact your advising office: full-time students may contact MBA Advising and part-time students may contact the Langone Program Office.
Note: For part-time students in the former “major” curriculum, a change of major request may be made through the Langone Program Office.
Specializations are optional and not required for graduation. To be eligible to graduate with a specialization, all students must formally declare and point supporting courses to any declared specialization through their Remaining Requirements page. For questions regarding declaring specializations and pointing courses, please consult your advising office.

Loan Deferment
Requests for verifications of loan deferments may be made at the Office of Records & Registration. Our office will verify on the deferment form the student's enrollment for the current semester and/or past semesters in which s/he was registered.
Loan deferments for each semester are processed on the first day of classes. For example: Fall semester deferments are processed in September; January for the Spring semester.
We cannot verify a student's enrollment for future semesters. However, we will verify your expected graduation date.
You may drop off the deferment form at the office or mail it to us:

The law applies to all students born after December 31, 1956. Immune status will be checked as part of the registration process. Students who have not done so already, must submit proof of immunity or immunization before they will be permitted to register. In addition there is a meningitis vaccination awareness form that must be completed.
