For students who are newly admitted or readmitted

Please follow these steps if…

  • You were just accepted directly from high school, or
  • You were just accepted as a transfer student, or
  • You were just accepted for the first time to YU and have not previously applied, or
  • You were just accepted after submitting a reapplication
  1. Submit Your Intent to Enroll
    • Visit apply.yu.edu to log back into your application account. Once you log in, click on ‘View' next to your application. Here, you can click ‘Respond’ to start your Intent to Enroll.
    • Your Intent to Enroll will ask you if you are accepting YU’s offer of admission, and if so, will you be studying in Israel or starting immediately at YU in New York. If you are planning on joining the S. Daniel Abraham Israel Program, you are accepting YU.  You are not Deferring.
    • You also have the option to request a deferral of your offer of admission. Simply follow the steps above and 'respond' to our offer of admission and follow the steps to request a deferral.
    • Both options require a $550 nonrefundable enrollment deposit paid online.
  2. Financial Aid
    YU is more affordable than you think! Over 80% of our students receive some sort of financial assistance by way of scholarships, grants, loans, and work study. If you have not done so already:
  3. Register for the S. Daniel Abraham Joint Israel Program
    Many newly admitted students to YU choose to spend a gap year in Israel at one of our 40+ partner yeshivot or seminaries. Participants may be eligible to use their federal financial aid towards their tuition AND students can receive up to a year’s worth of credit towards their YU degree!

    During your year in Israel, our dedicated Israel-based staff will be your connection to YU with unique programming and benefits specifically for YU students. Learn more about our SDA Israel Program.

    When you complete Step 1, you will be asked to confirm your intention to study in Israel.
    After paying your deposit, you will receive a confirmation email with your next steps, which will include:
    • Completing your Israel Participation Agreement
    • Uploading a copy of your Acceptance Letter to Israeli school (not your YU acceptance letter)
    If you are starting your studies at YU in New York, skip to step 4.
  4. Complete your Housing Application - Look for an email from the Housing Department telling you that the application is available
    Students who plan to study in Israel can skip this step.
  5. Register for Orientation
    For students who plan to begin their studies at YU in New York, Orientation is when it all begins. New students will move into their dorms, learn more about our campuses, student life, Torah learning, Shabbat programming and everything else you need to get settled at YU.

    Look for an email to RSVP for Orientation.
