NYU is implementing a number of additional actions to keep the NYU community healthy and to contribute to checking the spread of the coronavirus.
The New York campus is holding classes as usual through Tuesday, March 10. Classes should meet at their designated time in their designated location.
However, beginning on Wednesday, March 11 NYU will move to remote instruction. All classes should meet remotely at their regularly scheduled time.
Spring break will commence as planned at the end of this week. If students wish to leave following their last class on Tuesday, they can participate in classes remotely from their homes for the rest of the week.
Spring break -- the week of March 16 - March 20 -- will carry on as normal.
However, rather than reconvening on campus to recommence in-person classes on March 23, NYU will continue to hold classes remotely during that week, March 23 - March 27.
Early during the week of March 23, the University will communicate if and for how much longer we will continue with remotely-held classes.
Under any circumstances, classes will be held through the end of the semester to ensure the academic continuity and progress of our students.
IMPORTANT - WHAT STUDENTS SHOULD BRING HOME FOR SPRING BREAK: Students departing for spring break should take with them any items essential to carrying on their education from home, such as laptops, textbooks, notebooks, essential papers, etc. Students should also plan to carry home valuables and indispensable items in the event that a sustained period will pass before they are able to retrieve them easily.
RESIDENCE HALLS WILL REMAIN OPEN: As is customary, student residences will remain open during spring break. Food service will be available at three dining halls: Kimmel and Lipton in Manhattan, and Jasper Kane in Brooklyn.
FACULTY TECHNOLOGY RESOURCES - Here is a technology resource guide for faculty. Faculty should be mindful that not all students will have ready access to quality internet connections; accordingly, they should make advance sessions material available as soon as possible and be prepared to accommodate students using NYU Zoom over the telephone.
