Parents and Family
Sending one’s child off to college is always an act of trust. To do so during a pandemic—with its uncertainties, vicissitudes, and hardships—requires an even more profound act of trust. In addition to the communications we send directly to parents, we have established this page as a resource.

NYU Requires Vaccinations for NYU Community Members
All members of the NYU community—students, faculty, administrators, staff, and campus visitors—are required to be fully vaccinated and are required to upload proof of their vaccination. The requirement is part of NYU's overall goal to have as many members of the campus community vaccinated as possible to reduce the risk of infection on campus and within the local community. NYU is doing this to protect the health and safety of the NYU community to the fullest extent possible, and to enable NYUers to engage in-person this fall and more fully in various aspects of university life.

We recognize that COVID-19's effects have been disparate, and its impacts on poor communities and communities of color have been especially painful. In our response to the coronavius, NYU is committed to mitigating those impacts as well as ensuring no one in our community is ostracized, bullied, or mistreated due to ignorance about this disease.
If any member of our community believes they have experienced harassment or discrimination, we encourage them to report concerns to the Bias Response Line.
