NYU Returns: Fall 2021

NYU's hub for the latest and current COVID-19-related guidance and information

Getting Ready for Fall 2021

In fall 2021, with vaccination requirements in place for students, faculty, administrators, and staff, NYU will resume in-person classroom instruction and most other pre-COVID activities, and administrative offices will begin in-person operations again. Against the backdrop of the lingering risks and uncertainty of COVID-19, we will continue to be guided in our decision-making by a focus on safety and health. The requirement for vaccination of NYU community members—both in New York City and at the majority of our Study Away sites in the US and abroad—remains at the heart of our planning as we carry out NYU’s research and teaching mission. Read more about our plans for academic year 2021-2022.
