Communications with Students
MyNewSchool
MyNewSchool is a customizable web portal, located at my.newschool.edu, which connects students to the university and to their student records. Students can access their university email, view and update their personal information, access online courses, receive announcements, use library resources, check their accounts, see their financial aid award status and academic records, and much more. Most student business is transacted online through MyNewSchool, including registration for classes, payment of tuition and fees, and viewing of final grades.
Student Email Accounts
The university administration and academic departments routinely communicate with students through New School email. The university provides every degree or credit-seeking student with a New School email account. Official communications are sent to New School email addresses only.
Changes of Address and Telephone Number
Students are responsible for keeping their addresses and telephone numbers current with the university. They can update their contact information whenever necessary through the Student Information portlet in MyNewSchool. University correspondence is mailed to the address designated as “official” or emailed to the student’s New School email address. If you are a Parsons Paris student, you must also communicate these changes to the Office of Student Success at studentsuccessparis@newschool.edu.
