Dear NYU Parents,
It may have snowed just days ago, but signs of spring are
everywhere at NYU: mid term exams, spring break plans, and
seniors looking forward to life after college. With just
ten weeks left in the semester, this month's newsletter provides
updates on Spring Break, summer sessions, housing, commencement,
and a special note about NYU's Student Health Center. As
always, please contact us at the Parents Helpline (212.998.4219)
or via email at parents@nyu.edu with
your questions and comments, or your suggestions for future
newsletters.
SPRING BREAK
Spring break will take place March 16-22. Residence halls
will remain open, but dining halls will be closed; other
university services may have reduced hours. Visit the Student
Resource Center website beginning Tuesday, March
10 for vital information about both university services
and city-wide happenings during spring break. Also
note that the university has communicated a safety advisory
to students traveling abroad during
Spring Break. Click here for details.
HOUSING
LOTTERY CONTINUES
During Phase II of the Housing Lottery (March 11-27), students
will complete a lottery card either individually or with
their intended roommates for next year. A student may not
make changes to the lottery card once it is submitted, so
you and your student may want to closely read the
instructions for Phase II. You can also look over The
Washington Square News Housing Guide for information
about different residence halls.
REGISTERING
FOR FALL 2009
Registration
for Fall 2009 classes begins April 20th, with registration
times assigned based on the number of completed credits. Students
must meet with an academic
advisor before registering. Encourage your student to
begin looking at possible courses when they become available
later this month and to make
the most out of his or her advising visit.
MAY
INTENSIVE and SUMMER SESSION
A wide range
of classes (including programs abroad)
are offered from May to August for students who want to
fulfill
degree requirements, explore new areas of interest, or accelerate
their degree program. Classes
are offered anywhere from 3-week-intensives to all-summer-12-week
sessions, beginning as early as May 18 and ending as late
as August 7. Summer
Housing is also available.
SUMMER
TRANSITIONS
Will your student live in a residence hall this summer? Applications
for Summer
Housing are open now. Students who will not stay in housing
are expected to move out the day after their last final exam.
Wondering what to do with your student's stuff over the summer?
Our Neighborhood
Resources page has information on nearby storage and postage
options. Unwanted items can also be donated to charity through
the "Green Apple Move Out" in May.
COMMENCEMENT
All-University
Commencement will take place Wednesday, May 13 at Yankee
Stadium--just two months away! Now is the time for graduating
students to make travel plans, to request tickets for all
university commencement and school
ceremonies, and to order academic
attire. Students can also make use of the Wasserman
Center for Career Development in searching for a post-graduation
job.
SPOTLIGHT
ON...THE STUDENT HEALTH CENTER
NYU's Student
Health Center, conveniently located just 5 minutes from Washington
Square park, offers a
variety of routine and walk-in Primary Care, Women's &
Men's Health, and Short-term Counseling services at either
no cost or very reduced cost to all matriculated NYU students.
But that's not all! Encourage your student to make the most
of the Health Center's other services including daily
events, smoking
cessation resources, stress
management workshops,
nutrition programs and
self-improvement and support groups.
