PARENTS & FAMILIES NEWSLETTER

Spring 2023 Move-In Day is January 18th! Is your student living in the dorms? Do they have questions? Encourage them to attend the upcoming Residential Life Move-In webinar. This is an opportunity for students who are moving into NYU residences to learn tips for a smooth move-in and learn about thier new home. 

Note: This webinar is geared toward students. Watch/listen to our December 2022 Parent and Family session on "Preparing for Your Arrival to NYC."

As we embark on this experience together, it can be reassuring to know the people at NYU who are supporting your student’s success. Join me, Dr. Rafael Rodriguez, at the New Parents & Families Welcome Reception. This informal reception is where parents and families of incoming students can meet some of the key people at NYU and connect with other parents and family members. The Division of Student Affairs is dedicated to creating the best student experience possible, we look forward to meeting you and sharing advice and words of encouragement as you and your student enter this new chapter. Pre-registration is required. 

Very soon your student will begin their NYU journey. We are so excited for you and them! Please know that all students may bring up to three people to support with Move-In. Parents and loved ones supporting with Move-In will also have access to attend the New Parents and Families Welcome reception. While NYU no longer requires visitors to present proof of COVID-19 vaccination at the point of entry to NYU buildings or events, all visitors must be prepared to present proof of compliance with NYU’s COVID-19 vaccination requirements if asked. If you are interested in visiting any other building or entering an NYU building after move-in (January 18th, 2023), you must follow NYU's Visitor, Vendor, and Affiliates process.

NYU cares deeply about your student's development as a whole person. We also know that the most successful students at NYU not only do well in courses, but also have the skills and understanding to foster personal growth, tend to wellness needs and cultivate a community of connection. With that, below are two such holistic resources designed for NYU students.

Through this seminar, your student will leave ready to create positive change, starting with their own lives and eventually extending across communities and the world. In this seven-week course, students engage in self-reflection, group discussion, and exploration, and also build skills around wellbeing, healthy relationships, and career readiness. The course can be found by students via Albert (our online course registration system) and searching "Authoring Your NYU Story."  We encourage you to talk with your student about registering for the class before the spring semester begins.

RADical Health is an interactive four-part program that provides students with critical wellness resources that empowers them in their academic journey at NYU with confidence and connections. Through inspirational videos, resources, and engaging discussions, students learn how to practice mindfulness, active listening, self-care, time management, and other critical, real-world skills - all while hanging out with a small cohort of other students in a supportive, curious, and innovative space. Learn about RADical Health and point your student to register for the program. Students who complete the program gain a "Career Accelerator" certification from the NYU Wasserman Center for Career Development and can win prizes too! 

Your student reviews and pays their semesterly tuition bills via the NYU Electronic Suite (eSuite). Your student can designate someone as an “authorized user” to their university billing account, which grants access to anyone helping pay tuition and fees. Only a student can add someone as an “authorized user” to their eSuite account. 

We thought it might be helpful to share this video series on paying bills, as well as how students can add authorized users to their eSuite account.
