Latest Updates

Updated: January 12

Spring Semester Will Convene In Person: When spring semester begins, NYU will resume in-person classes. Given the emergence of the Omicron variant and attendant issues with travel,schools, departments, and faculty should emphasize flexibility and plan for addressing the needs of students who may be temporarily unable to attend classes in person.
Restricted On-Campus Activity: With the start of the semester, school and unit leaders, managers, and supervisors should ensure that there is adequate in-person, on-campus staffing necessary to properly support all academic, research, and administrative activities at all times. Beyond that, the leadership of schools and administrative units may use their discretion about permitting remote work. Indoor dining, athletics, University-sponsored travel, and events/gatherings (on- or off-campus) remain suspended until further notice.
Vaccine Booster Requirement: NYU requires that all members of the NYU community who are eligible receive a COVID-19 booster vaccination and upload proof of the vaccination by January 18, 2022. Schedule an on campus appointment or off campus appointment.
