Dear NYU Parent and Family Members,
May is here, and the end of the semester and Commencement are just days away. This month’s newsletter highlights residence hall move-out and the 2021-2022 reapplication process, fall registration, summer housing and classes, career support, health reminders, vaccines, an update on the graduate employee agreement, and the many ways we’re celebrating our graduates. Please also be sure to review President Andy Hamilton’s May 13 message to parents. Finally, I would like to extend a warm welcome to our new undergraduate families and their students who will begin this fall!
Have a safe and healthy summer.
David Vogelsang

- Students not registered for summer housing and participating in the virtual graduation ceremony must checkout no later than 5:00pm ET on Wednesday, May 19.

As a reminder, registration for next year begins on Monday, May 24 by appointment for current students (new student registration begins in June). The actual registration date and time will vary by a student's academic standing. By now, students should have checked for any holds that might affect their registration and met with their academic advisor to review class options, select courses, and address academic plans. Additional details about the registration process are available on the Undergraduate Advisement website.

Vaccine Requirement
We know there still may be additional questions regarding the University’s decision to require COVID-19 vaccinations for fall 2021 for students who will be at NYU’s New York campus and other US sites. For additional questions about vaccines, uploading proof of vaccinations, support for international students, and those seeking medical and religious exemptions, please visit the NYU Returns Vaccination Hub.
