Contacting Your Advisor

There are two ways to schedule an appointment with your primary advisor:

• By Phone: 212-998-5191

• Online via Zoom: Request a meeting with your advisor through their NYU Connect Appointment calendar. All 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 NYC local time, otherwise your appointment will appear incorrectly.

*Please refrain from “drop-in” meetings unless it is during designated walk-in hours.

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, or the NYU website.

Email inquiries should be sent to your primary advisor. While both advisors are available during walk-in hours, please direct your emails to your primary advisor.

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 1-2 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: Use “Fall 2014 Full-Time Equivalency Request” NOT “Quick Question!”

 Consider scheduling an appointment if your email contains complex questions that can be better addressed in person
