Graduate Admissions

Accepting an Offer of Admission

When accepting an offer, we rely on your good faith and integrity

Enrollment Terms

To accept an offer, you: 

  • must not have an enrollment or deferral commitment with another institution,

  • must decline definitively all admission offers you have received from other schools by actively notifying each institution in the manner stipulated by each institution (regardless of whether an offer has expired), and

  • must attest you'll not apply to another institution or request to be reinstated at any institution from which you have withdrawn.

Seat Deposit Requirement

Full-time LLM Programs

Students admitted to the full-time LLM programs must submit a non-refundable deposit to reserve their seat in the class. A deadline will be provided to admitted students.

Admitted students who are granted scholarships will be given a short interval to respond to our scholarship offer. The Committee therefore encourages all applicants to consider whether NYU is their school of choice, and to investigate the means of financing costs which may not be covered by scholarships, so that they can decide whether to accept a scholarship offer shortly after being notified of the award.

JSD Program

No deposit is required to reserve a seat in the incoming doctoral class. Further instructions will be provided with the offer of admission.

Part-time LLM, E-LLM, MSL, and APC Programs

Students admitted to a part-time program must submit a non-refundable deposit to reserve their seat in the class. A deadline will be provided to admitted students.
