How do I apply for graduation?  To apply for graduation, please log in to [Albert](http://albert.nyu.edu/) and file your on-line Graduation Application; the link is in the ***Academics*** section under ***Graduation***. For step-by-step instructions on how to file your application, please see the [Apply for Graduation](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mQBTnp30NhqRGJIwPaAEt__4DEuCUrv5/view) guide.

I have submitted my on-line Graduation Application. How do I find out my graduation status?  After the Graduation Application filing deadline passes, our office will run a Graduation Evaluation in which your record will checked to confirm that you have completed all of your academic requirements. This evaluation will take roughly one-month. When the evaluation is complete, you will be emailed a notice to confirm that you have been cleared for graduation. If you have any outstanding academic issues that need to be resolved to graduate, you will receive an email detailing the issue and the deadline by which it needs to be resolved.

Why am I getting an error message when I attempt to file my on-line Graduation Application?  Access to file the on-line Graduation Application is temporarily suspended during registration lottery periods. The system will display an error message if you attempt to file your app during that time. Access to the on-line Graduation Application will be restored when the registration Add/Drop period opens for you.

If you receive an error message at any other time, please contact us at <registrn@stern.nyu.edu>.

If I am taking my last class during the Winter Intensive session, can I apply for Fall (i.e. January) graduation?  The Winter Intensive session is part of the Spring semester; students taking their final courses in Spring should submit their Graduation Application for Spring (i.e. May) graduation.

When will I receive my diploma?  Diplomas are processed by and mailed to you from the central NYU University Registrar’s office; your diploma should arrive 8 to 10 weeks after your official graduation date. The diploma will be mailed to your Permanent Address, as it is listed on the ***Albert*** system.

I need a replacement diploma, how do I obtain one?  In the event your diploma is lost or damaged, please contact the central **University Registrar**. Their office will supply a replacement diploma, upon proper deposition and the payment of a fee to cover the cost. Before issuing the replacement, however, you will be required to return the damaged diploma, or such portions of it as are available; or, in the case of loss or complete destruction, a notarized affidavit stating this.

For further information, and to submit your replacement diploma request, please visit the **Diplomas** page on the **University Registrar’s website** [here](https://www.nyu.edu/students/student-information-and-resources/registration-records-and-graduation/graduation-and-diplomas/diplomas.html).

How do I get my diploma certified or given an apostille?  The StudentLink Center will be able to assist you. Please see the following [link](https://www.nyu.edu/students/student-information-and-resources/registration-records-and-graduation/student-records/Apostille.html) which outlines the process.
