Advisor Contact Information

You should always meet with your primary advisor unless they are away from the office for an extended period (more than 2 business days).

The best ways to schedule an appointment with your primary advisor is:

• Online: Request a meeting with your advisor through your Google calendar.

  • Both advisors have public calendars which will allow you to see “busy” vs. “free” times.

  • When scheduling appointments, please be sure that your calendar is set to EST, otherwise your appointment will appear incorrectly on your calendar.

• To Schedule an appointment online use:

Christian Daru Calendar

Winnie Wu Calendar

• If there are no appointments available you should email your primary advisor to schedule an appointment.

Please follow the best practices below when working with your advisor:

• Read your NYU email regularly. You will receive many important emails from the department and from the University which may contain instructions for registration, graduation dates, financial notices, important requirements, and more!

• Do your research (first)! Much of the information you are looking for can be found in an email that has already been sent to you, the MCC website, this MCC handbook, or the NYU website.

• Email inquiries should be sent to your primary advisor. Please direct your emails to your primary advisor unless they are out of the office then you should use mcc.graduate@nyu.edu

• Do not email the same inquiry to multiple advisors and/or faculty members. If you would like multiple people to receive the same inquiry, please include them all on the same email.

• Be mindful of email response times. The standard response time for email is 2-3 business days. Keep in mind, responses may take longer during busy times of the academic calendar (registration, graduation, etc). Office hours are 9:00-5:00 Monday-Friday. Emails will be answered during these hours.

• Include a meaningful subject line

  • Example:

    • Do Use “Last Name_Fall 2018 Full-Time Equivalency Request”

    • Do NOT Use “Quick Question!” or "Urgent"

• Consider scheduling an appointment if your email contains complex questions that can be better addressed in person or over Zoom.
