Information is available below on:
Resources and Support for Students Student Success has created a Student Resource Hub, where students can find an extensive list of university and community resources to support them. The site features tips for transitioning to remote learning and staying healthy, mental health resources, and opportunities to stay connected with student peers. It also includes food and financial assistance information, including a link to The New School’s Student Emergency Assistance Program, which provides funding for current students who are experiencing acute economic distress. The Hub will be updated regularly as we continue to learn about new offerings that are available to students. If your students need additional support or have questions about any of the resources in the Hub, please refer them to studentsupport@newschool.edu. University Learning Center Updates The University Learning Center (ULC) is now offering morning and late night tutoring hours to help accommodate students in different time zones. Students can book appointments from 8:00 am-midnight Monday-Friday and from noon-5:00 pm on Saturdays (EST). Students can make online tutoring appointments via WCONLINE and can even still do an online “walk-in”! For help making an appointment or for more information, please email learningcenter@newschool.edu or visit the ULC‘s website.
