The requirements below are mandatory. You can face serious consequences if you don’t complete the requirements in time (including being withdrawn from classes).

Submit Your Health and Immunization Forms

Deadline: July 15 (for students starting in Fall 2023)

Proof of Immunizations

All students are required to provide information about their prior measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) and meningitis vaccinations. Failing to meet this requirement can result in de-enrollement from classes. As of May 11, 2023, COVID-19 vaccination is no longer required, but students are encouraged to stay up to date with their COVID-19 vaccination.

"Think About It"

Deadline: August 15 (For students starting in Fall 2023)

In an effort to maintain a safe and aware community, all incoming students are required to complete this online education course on sexual misconduct prevention and response at NYU. Learn more about the training and review the FAQs.  

"AlcoholEdu for College: Parts 1 and 2"

Deadline: August 15 (Part 1) and September 15 (Part 2) (For students starting in Fall 2023)

All incoming undergraduate students are required to take this two-part course—even those who have taken it at another institution, are over 21, or do not drink alcohol for personal, health, religious or other reasons—which provides basic knowledge of the effects of alcohol, potential problems, and ways to reduce risk, as well as resources to help you and others. If you have questions about this requirement, please contact alcoholmodule.support@nyu.edu.

  • You will receive an email invitation to complete the course a few weeks before the deadlines for Part 1 and Part 2.
  • It is important to complete Part 1 by the deadline so you can also complete Part 2 on time. Part 2 is due 30 days after you complete Part 1.

Health Insurance for Students Studying Away

NYU requires that students studying away as part of their educational program be covered under the NYU-sponsored Study Away health insurance plan administered by Worldwide Insurance Services. The school- sponsored GeoBlue program utilizes the Blue Cross Blue Shield provider network in the United States and provides easy access to care. Students enrolled in these GeoBlue plans are still required to maintain other health insurance coverage in their home countries.
