The preferred method is to log into ALVIN and update your information directly into our database. For help using ALVIN, click here. You can also update your home and/or business address, phone number(s), and/or email address by using the online form at www.newschool.edu/alumni or by emailing alumni@newschool.edu or calling 212.229.5662 x3784. You only need to update your information once with the university. You do not need to send the update to your specific school.
At this time, graduates do not permanently retain the school email they used as a student. However, your student email account WILL remain active for about six months post-graduation. We will notify you at that account when it will be inactivated and give you time to begin to transition to another account. If you wish, you may choose to transition to your permanent alumni account, which is in the firstname.lastname@alumni.newschool.edu format. For more information on the alumni email account, click here. Once again, information regarding student account inactivation and alumni account activation will come to your student email account.
The Registrar's Office will mail diplomas to all May graduates in mid-August and to January graduates in mid-March. Please note, international students should allow an additional 4 - 6 weeks for delivery. Please login to MyNewSchool and check to make sure your diploma mailing address is correct. To update your diploma mailing address in MyNewSchool follow these steps:
1. Go to http://my.newschool.edu
2. Log in using your Groupwise username (the part of your school email address before the "@newschool.com") and password.
3. Click on the Student tab.
4. Click on "Personal Information" which is located in the Self Service/ALVIN box on the upper left side of the page.
5. Click on "Update Address(es) and Phone(s).
6. Scroll down and find your Diploma address.
7. Click on "Current"
8. Update as necessary and click SUBMIT at the bottom of the page.
Please note, if you have NOT graduated you will receive a letter from the Registrar’s Office. If you HAVE graduated, your diploma serves as notice that your degree has been conferred and you will not receive a letter. If you have not received notification of your graduation status by late-August (May graduates) or late-March (January graduates), contact the Registrar's Office at 212.229.5620 x1478.
Alumni can obtain their formal transcript by contacting the Registrar's Office (contact information below). Please allow seven days for transcript requests for those who graduated before 1983 and five days for those who graduated after 1983.
Following is a link to the transcript request form:
http://www.newschool.edu/forms/registrar_transcript_request.pdf
The New School Registrar's Office
72 Fifth Avenue
Lower Level
New York, NY 10011
212.229.5620 x1478 (phone)
212.229.5648 (fax)
In addition, if you graduated post-1992, you can obtain a web version of your transcript, verify your degree and graduation year and more by logging into your ALVIN account at https://alvin.newschool.edu. If you have never used ALVIN, all you need is your social security number and date of birth to access your account. Should you have problems logging in, contact the Office of Alumni Relations at 212.229.5662 x3784.
To receive a copy of course descriptions please send a written request to the Registrar’s Office via fax or mail (see contact information above). The registrar will process requests for a maximum of 10 course descriptions at a time. The turn around time for requests is about seven days. If you have questions about the status of your request please contact Alma Curtis in the Registrar's Office at 212.229.5620 x3635.
No, the University Cards are only valid for The New School Libraries: Fogelman, Scherman, and Gimbel. They are not to be used at consortium libraries. NYU’s own alumni only get three visits to Bobst post-graduation.
The “alumni card” is the same thing as the “library card” or “University card.” To obtain one, send an email to alumni@newschool.edu with your request and your preferred mailing address. You may also call 212.229.5662 x3784 to request that a card be mailed or you can pick one up at 79 5th Avenue, 17th Floor. Please call to schedule a pick up time to ensure the card is ready and someone will be available to meet you.
New graduates receive their alumni card at the end of September, after the May degrees are conferred. (Alumni cards are only available for degreed alumni.) However, if you need an alumni card before that, call 212.229.5662 x3784 and we will print one for you. (Recent graduates, please note that your NewCard will become inactive.)
The new alumni cards will be mailed the first week of September. You should receive your new card before the current one expires. If for some reason you did not, just contact the Office of Alumni Relations and we will be sure to send you one.
Unfortunately, alumni do not get a free or discounted class. The free class you may have heard about was an alumni benefit under a previous administration and only available for a finite amount of time. All alumni must pay regular tuition for all classes. However, The New School does provide several opportunites for continued learning through its public programs, most of which are free for alumni. Click here for a list of upcoming events.
Unfortunately, the answer at this time is no. Allowing alumni to access online journals would represent a violation of the contract The New School enters into with the providers of this resource. When our library contracted with the online publisher to make journals available via the Internet, it did so with the understanding that the online library resources would only be available to currently enrolled students, current teaching faculty, and currently employed staff. Extending access to other parties would represent a breach of contract. However, library staff is currently looking into other online options that alumni would be able to use.
Yes, alumni CAN use the wireless access that is available throughout the New School campus. To log into the wireless, use the username and password from your alumni email account. If you do not have an alumni email account, send an email to alumni@newschool.edu with the subject “Email Account Request” and include your first and last name and year of graduation. (Please note that accounts can only be created for alumni who received a degree or credit certificate.)

You should contact the career services office of the school you attended. For a full list of career services offices and contact information, visit our Benefits page and scroll down to the career services section.
Laws in New York State prohibit offering discount health insurance to particular groups (such as "New School alumni"). However, we have prepared a document to assist you in finding more affordable coverage. Please see our benefits page for information. We are also currently exploring options for discounted health and dental insurance offerings.
The Office of Alumni Relations is working closely with Liberty Mutual to provide New School graduates with the benefit of discounted auto, home, and renter's insurance. The Liberty Mutual partnership is the result of feedback from many New School alumni expressing a desire for a program of this kind. This is a common affinity program used by hundreds of universities and colleges around the country. The New School earns a small amount of revenue from new business written as a result of the program. For each mailing, we provide a list of names and contact information to a mail house (as is done for all large-scale mailings). The mail house completes the mailing then deletes the information. Liberty Mutual does not receive our alumni lists nor is the information retained anywhere. If you do not wish to receive communications from Liberty Mutual or other outside parties (companies we may use to complete alumni directories or surveys for instance) just contact us and we will mark your record accordingly. Please note that we never provide information to anyone who is not a trusted partner working closely with us on a specific project.
