Q: How do I access the Food Pantry?
A: The Food Pantry is an emergency food program available to all New School students who are in NYC this semester. Pantry bags will be pre-packed and distributed by appointment only on Wednesdays from 2-4pm and Thursdays from 10am-noon in the Kerrey Hall Lobby, beginning October 7. The link to make an appointment is: https://calendly.com/newschoolpantry/pickup.
Students only coming to campus to pick up a bag must pass a daily symptom screen check. Students already on campus for other activities should refer to the campus access policy. Both the symptom screen check and additional policies may be found here.

Q: Do I still have access to library research materials during this time, and how do I utilize available services?
A: The New School Libraries and Archives staff is dedicated to providing students and staff with a wide variety of services and resources. We continue to fulfill requests for physical books, journals, scores, and other print and audiovisual materials. Services such as chat, Ask Us, and libhelp remain consistently available, to answer questions and to assist with research and instruction.
While physical library spaces are not available at this time, the University is exploring other options for study spaces on campus. And as the number of COVID vaccinations continues to grow and the number of positive cases continues to decline, we are hopeful that we will be able to reopen library spaces in the Fall.
Access to printing services and other technology is currently being provided by New School IT (chat IT on their website for more information).
Please note that NYU spaces are available to a limited number of NYU students only, and for restricted purposes. However, The New School has been offering book pick-up, printing, scanning, making, and practice spaces for the last two semesters. For more information about on-campus services, click here.
You can find the most up-to-date information about all library services, including book pick-up and scanning, from our website. For any questions or concerns, you can always Ask Us!
Q: Will the University Learning Center be open for online tutoring?

Q: How do I meet with my student success advisor?

Q: Who should I contact if I have further questions?
A: Please email parsonsdean@newschool.edu if you still cannot find the information you are looking for.
Q: Where should I go with questions regarding tuition payment, billing, financial holds, and/or other matters relating to Student Accounts?
A: Please see the Fall 2020 Student Account FAQs here. The best way to connect with a financial aid counselor directly is to set up a virtual walk-in appointment via Zoom on Starfish, or there are counselors available from Monday - Thursday, 9am - 5pm for Zoom Drop-In Hours (Spring 2021 schedule).
