Benefit Plans and Services

The Benefits Office of the Human Resources Division provides information about the benefit plans and services available to faculty members, members of the professional research staffs, and administrative and professional staff members.

Housing for Faculty

At NYU, faculty housing is a critical strategic resource that has supported NYU’s development into a national research university. Nearby housing helps to create a feeling of campus by bringing faculty, staff, and students together. It supports the academic mission of the University by increasing accessibility of faculty members to their students, their colleagues, and their research tools. Although NYU’s rental resources are substantial, they are not sufficient to address all our housing needs. University housing is allocated to faculty and staff in a manner designed to support, recruit and retain the full-time faculty of the University according to University priorities informed by the Deans of the Schools. University policies on Faculty Housing govern the allocation of housing: The highest priority is to house tenured and tenure track faculty, and among them, new faculty who will be joining NYU and who do not have housing in the metropolitan area. Almost equal priority is given to existing faculty who are of high retention importance as determined by the deans of each school. Any questions should be addressed through the individual school Dean’s Offices.

Service Recognition Awards

Faculty will receive service recognition gifts upon completion of 10 years of service to the University, and every five-year milestone thereafter through 50+ years. The University also will present a certificate to every member of the faculty who has given 25 years of full- and/or part-time service to the University.

Travel Policies

Information about University policies and guidelines concerning travel and reimbursement rates can be obtained from the Office of the Controller. All faculty are encouraged to use NYUTraveler, which was created to provide the NYU community with tools and services for their travel needs and to help keep them safer.

Releasing Employment Information

Faculty members wishing to have information about their status at the University officially transmitted to persons or institutions outside the University should apply to the Office of Academic Appointments, in order to execute the required consent form.
