Choose the correct free ticket
NYU Students
This ticket is strictly for students with active NYU enrollment on the event date. Having an NYU email address, having previously studied at NYU, or being an NYU alumnus does not qualify you for this ticket. Bring a valid NYU student ID and follow the university’s entry requirements.
Visitor
All other attendees, including students at other universities and NYU alumni, must select the Visitor ticket. Please apply in advance using your full legal name exactly as it appears on your government-issued ID. After CEC approves your registration, we will help arrange an NYU Visitor Pass. You must complete NYU visitor clearance and receive a valid Visitor Pass before attending. Bring that pass and a valid government-issued photo ID matching your registered legal name.
A Luma confirmation or event QR code does not replace an NYU Visitor Pass. Visitors without a valid Visitor Pass cannot enter.
Registration information
Please provide your real name, full legal name exactly as shown on your government-issued ID, current school or company, study level or professional status, and a valid personal LinkedIn profile. Students at other universities must select Visitor regardless of their study level; other non-NYU attendees must also select Visitor.
Your LinkedIn profile must be accessible to the organizers and contain enough information to verify your background. Applications with incomplete information, invalid links, or backgrounds we cannot verify will not be approved. All tickets are reviewed manually; attendance is subject to final approval.
