Welcome to all incoming nondegree students! As an admitted nondegree student to the Graduate School at Princeton University, there are additional items that are necessary to complete or review prior to arrival on campus, as outlined below. Review Admission Decision Activate Your Princeton NetID The Office of Information Technology (OIT) will send an email with details about a personal Princeton account. This account will need to be activated to review the details of the admission offer and to submit an admission decision online. Please refer to the original email from OIT or contact the OIT Service Desk for questions or assistance with this account. If an applicant has an active Princeton account, please use the current netID and password to log into TigerHub, select Menu, then select Graduate Admission Decision. Review Admission Offer & Submit Your Decision Nondegree students must submit a decision within 3 business days and are not required to fill out the External Fellowship Form. Once a final decision is submitted, it cannot be changed. An offer of admission may be rescinded based on the Policy on Rescinding an Offer of Admission. If you need to change your start/end date you should first have it approved by your sponsoring department or program and then have them contact us at [email protected]. If we need to revise your admission offer, we will email you as soon as the new offer is available to view.

Apply for Graduate Housing (if applicable) Princeton makes every effort to make an offer of University housing to those who are participating in the Sciences Po Exchange and Procter Fellows Program. All other nondegree visiting students, including Visiting Student Research Collaborators, are not guaranteed housing. We are unlikely to be able to offer housing for nondegree students whose enrollment extends into the fall semester or begins September 1. VSRC's who need housing for the fall will be able to apply after August 1. Assignments are made as vacancies allow. VSRCs are not eligible to live in apartments. To apply for Graduate Housing, the student must accept the admission offer and then complete and submit the housing application online. NetID and password will be required. All communications from graduate housing will be sent to the Princeton email.
