Accepted: Next Steps
SCHOLARSHIP, TORAH, WISDOM, THOUGHT
Congratulations on your acceptance to the Bernard Revel Graduate School of Jewish Studies at Yeshiva University! Here are the next steps you need to take to complete your enrollment.

Next Steps:
To officially enroll, you must submit a $100 non-refundable enrollment deposit. This deposit goes towards tuition and is not an additional fee. Please reserve your seat within 10 days in your Yeshiva University online application portal at www.yu.edu/graduate/apply or click on the icon below.
If you will be studying on campus, as a next step in the enrollment process, you are required to satisfy immunization requirements as prescribed by New York State. New York State Public Health Law requires that all students have proof of measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) immunization history and complete a meningitis acknowledgment form if you will be studying on campus. More details can be found at yu.edu/health along with the immunization form.
When the form is completed, please log back into the application portal and navigate to the supplemental items section where you will be able to upload your completed form, along with copies of your immunization records. Failure to complete this requirement may result in a delay in future registrations.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the Office of Student Health at yuhealthcenter@yu.edu.

Please visit https://www.naces.org/members for transcript evaluations approved by Yeshiva University and have the official evaluation including transcripts emailed to gradschool@yu.edu. You are not required to resubmit the official transcript evaluation and transcript if the documents were submitted during the application process by the evaluation company. If you attended Yeshiva University as an undergraduate student, you are not required to submit the official transcript, but your undergraduate degree must be conferred prior to the first day of class.
- Utilize the institution’s secure electronic system (usually provided by university partners like Parchment or National Clearinghouse) to send the official digital transcript by email to gradschool@yu.edu We recommend this option as it is the quickest and easiest way.
