Welcome New Online-Only Students

Congratulations on your admission to The New School! Welcome to our extraordinary university community of passionate students, faculty, and staff.

Please click on the links to the left to learn more about registering for classes.

Note: If you have not yet deposited, please visit the Accepted Student tab in MyNewSchool before continuing.

Check your New School email account

All new students who have submitted a tuition deposit will be assigned a New School email account within five business days. You can access your New School email account by logging in to MyNewSchool and clicking on the Gmail icon located at the top right of the page. It is important that you check your New School email account regularly as official university email communications will only be sent to this address.

Submit your final transcript

Before the start of classes, arrange for your final transcript transcript to be forwarded to The New School. If you recently graduated, it is likely that the transcript you submitted during the application process is not a final version that includes your graduation date. To finalize your admission to The New School, use the form included in your admission package to request a final transcript (including your graduation date) to be sent to the Office of Admission.

Complete and return the immunization form

All online-only, degree-seeking students are required to verify that they have read the material distributed by The New School on meningococcal disease. Download the form on the Student Health Services website and carefully read the instructions. Submit the completed form by fax, email, or mail. For more information, visit the Student Health Services website.

Review the information about mandatory student health insurance and the waiver option

All students, including online-only students, are automatically enrolled in Student Health Services and the student health insurance plan provided for The New School by University Health Plans. The insurance premium is charged at registration unless you are eligible to waive coverage. If you are covered by equivalent medical insurance, you can waive your New School coverage by submitting the online Student Health Waiver Form. For more information, visit Student Health Services.

Request disability accommodations (if applicable)

Students interested in requesting disability accommodations must submit the online self-identification form. For more information, Student Disability Services.

Check the status of your financial aid award letter

All new students who have submitted a tuition deposit should already have completed the financial aid process. If you have not yet applied for aid, visit Student Financial Services for information and instructions.

If you are eligible for financial aid (or scholarships) and have a completed application on file, you can check the status online by logging in to MyNewSchool and accessing your financial aid information in the Student Financial Services section.

If you have not yet deposited, please visit the Accepted Student tab in MyNewSchool before continuing.

Complete the mandatory online tutorials

All new students are required to complete the online tutorial on the University Policy on Sexual Harassment. Students who do not complete the tutorial or the orientation may be contacted by the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities. For more information, visit the Rights and Responsibilities website.

All new students receiving financial aid in the form of federal government-supported student loans must complete an online tutorial at www.studentloans.gov.

Complete the emergency contact form

All new students must provide emergency contact information. To update your emergency contact information, log in to MyNewschool and select the Student tab where you will find a link to "Update Your Emergency Contact Information" in the Self Service/Alvin channel. The university may use the contact information you provide in case of an emergency. If this information changes, please return to MyNewSchool to update it.

Update your mailing address

Keep your mailing address up-to-date at MyNewSchool. All official university mailings will be sent to this address.
