Find a Lost Classmate

If you are an NYU graduate and are looking for a former classmate, there are two ways that we can help. Here's how:

Your friend or former classmate may have logged into VioletNet – our online community of NYU alumni. Try there first to see if his/her listing and make sure to activate your own so your friends can find you.

If you can’t find the alumnus/a in VioletNet, gather any information you have about your classmate (class year, college attended, degree received, married/maiden name, etc.) that might assist NYU in finding your friend. Then, call (212) 998-6912 and request an alumni locator search.

A member of the staff will check to see if your classmate's current address is in the University database.

If an address is available, we will be happy to forward a personal letter to your classmate on your behalf. Just compose your letter and seal it in a stamped envelope with your friend's name and class year on the outside. Send it to us in another envelope addressed to:

Alumni Locator Service
NYU Alumni Association
25 West Fourth Street, 4th Floor
New York, NY 10012-1119

Because NYU is committed to safeguarding the confidentiality of information our alumni have shared with us, we do not give out any addresses or telephone numbers directly.
