Email and IT Support
You will receive important and time-sensitive emails regarding registration, tuition payment and other topics to your Stern email address beginning in the spring. If you are applying for financial aid, you will receive all instructions about accepting and activating your financial aid through your Stern email account. You must complete all the steps below to activate your Stern email account and properly process your financial aid. If you experience any difficulty in activating your NYU Stern email account, please email admits@stern.nyu.edu.
Steps for Setting Up Your Email
Your student email account will be your NYU Stern NetID followed by @stern.nyu.edu. For example, if your NetID is wqc103, your Stern email account will be wqc103@stern.nyu.edu. Please note that it may take up to 48 hours after activating your NYU Stern NetID for your account to be fully activated.
Begin checking your Stern email account by visiting SternLife. Your Stern email account is powered by Google Apps. Keep an eye out for important and time-sensitive emails regarding financial aid, registration, tuition payment and other topics.

After completing the setup for your @stern.nyu.edu email address, we suggest returning to your NYU central email (@nyu.edu) to set up email forwarding to your NYU Stern address. To do this, log into NYU Home and follow the link under the E-mail and Calendar tab to access your NYU central email account (also powered by Google Apps). Once in Gmail, find the mail settings link in the upper right-hand corner and navigate to the Forwarding tab. Here you will be able to set up email forwarding to your Stern address.
IT Support
Stern requires all incoming MBA students to own a laptop computer. The laptop requirement ensures that you will have access to the resources needed to successfully complete Stern's program of study. You are also expected to have Internet access from your home throughout the program. Please be sure that it meets our recommended hardware & software configurations.
The Stern IT Help Desk offers year-round laptop support to students and can help you with setting up your Stern network access. The Help Desk may be reached by phone at 212-998-0180 or by email at helpdesk@stern.nyu.edu and is located at the Tisch-100. For more information and walk-in hours, visit the Help Desk website.
