Welcome!
Please complete each of the steps outlined below so that you are prepared for the start of classes.
Log in to MyNewSchool and Check your New School Email Account
You will receive instructions for logging in to MyNewSchool, the university’s web portal where you can access your university email account, financial aid information, and a variety of other online services. You can also use the portal to accomplish some of the steps outlined below.
All new students who have submitted a tuition deposit will receive instructions via email, which will be sent to the email address you provided in your application.
Once you receive these instructions, please log in and check your university email account regularly. While you are enrolled, all official university email communication will only be sent to your university email address.
Complete the Financial Aid Process (if necessary)
In order to receive financial aid, U.S. citizens and eligible non-citizens must submit the Free Application for Financial Aid (FAFSA) at www.fafsa.ed.gov. The New School’s code is 002780. Please be certain to read all comments listed on your Student Aid Report (SAR) and follow up if needed. Information on applying for financial aid and available financing options for all students can be found on the Student Financial Services website.
