Communication Policy

In our continuing campaign to be environmentally aware by “going green” and to increase the safety, efficiency, and speed of our communication with students, NYU Tandon School of Engineering has instituted a communication policy in which it will no longer use paper communication with students.

All NYU Tandon students have an NYU e-mail account and, through the NYU Classes integration, access to NYU Home for institutional information concerning the classes for which they are registered and organizational information and services. Because of this robust electronic access, NYU faculty and administration will contact students with important information and notices electronically only through the various communication technologies and environments provided by the University.

To ensure that students both receive and are responsive to important notices from all departments and offices at the School, students need to observe the following policy:

• The NYU e-mail accounts are student’s official point of contact. Students are expected to directly access this account at least once each school day. Visit  https://www.nyu.edu/its/email/ for more information and assistance.
• Students must be aware of notices posted on their NYU Home Pages. It is the student’s responsibility to check this portal during the drop/add period of registration and regularly during the term in order to verify the accuracy of his/her schedule and to read any official university notices. Schedules should be verified by students at least once during the first two weeks of the term and once after mid-semester via Albert.
• The university calendars that delineate the different registration periods are also available online on the Registrar’s website. Students should be familiar with these calendars and adhere to the dates accordingly.
• Students are required to be aware of course-related information available on their course environment on NYU Classes, such as course syllabi, resources, calendar, assignment expectations, special announcements, grades etc.
