Dear NYU Parents and Families,

Happy fall! We are here to support you as you guide your student in navigating their time at NYU. In this newsletter, we share virtual programs you can engage with from home, important information for you, and tips to pass onto your student. We are particularly excited to share a new Thriving at NYU series we are introducing just for you.

Thriving at NYU Webinar: On-Campus Life | Campus Safety & Center for Student Life

Monday, September 27 at 7:30-8:30pm ET

The Thriving at NYU webinar series for Parents & Families is designed to address the areas you've told us are most important to you. The focus of the first webinar is On-Campus Life featuring Campus Safety and the Center for Student Life.

Vice President for Global Campus Safety, Fountain Walker, will share Campus Safety resources and tips on talking to your student about safety in the city. Associate Director at the Center for Student Life, Isabella Villacampa, will share opportunities for your student to get involved and make connections with the NYU community such as clubs and organizations.

If you are unable to attend live, a recording will be available and shared in a follow up newsletter.

Upcoming webinars in October will focus on Ensuring Students' Career Success and Mental and Physical Wellbeing.

Important information for you:

Student Health Insurance Enroll/Waive Deadline

September 30 is the last day for students to enroll in or waive NYU-sponsored Student Health Insurance. Most students are automatically enrolled in and charged a premium for an NYU-sponsored Student Health Insurance plan. Students who maintain alternate health insurance coverage that meets the University’s minimum health insurance criteria may waive the NYU-sponsored student health insurance plan entirely. Learn more and begin the enroll/waive process online.

Sign up for NYU Alerts

NYU Alert, the University’s Emergency Notification System, allows you to receive alerts from NYU’s Department of Campus Safety on your cell phone. You can opt in to receive these text alerts. Find more information and directions to sign up. If your student has an active NYU ID card, they have already been included to receive NYU Alerts. If you have questions, email emergencymanagement@nyu.edu

Tips to pass onto your student:

Encourage your students to take advantage of all the career resources and services available. NYU Wasserman Center for Career Development offers virtual and in-person coaching and events. Students should activate their Handshake account to schedule coaching appointments, RSVP for events, apply to jobs, and access hundreds of resources.
Talk to your student about being safe in the city. Encourage them to follow safety and security steps while navigating NYU and its surrounding urban environment and suggest they download the NYU Safe App.
Suggest your student make an appointment with a Student Success Specialist. Students can meet with a Specialist with a specific question, an occasional check-in, or for ongoing support.
If your student has a question and is not sure where to turn to, encourage them to be proactive and contact the Center for Student Life. Our staff is happy to help them navigate NYU. Students can send their question to studentlife@nyu.edu or call (212) 998-4411 (you can let them know our number is on the back of their NYU ID!)

Reach out to us if you have any questions.
