The preferred method is to log into ALVIN and update your information directly into our database. For help using ALVIN, please see "For help using ALVIN" above. 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.
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
65 Fifth Avenue
Ground Floor
New York, NY 10003
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 Registrar's Office at the information listed above.
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 x3557 to request that a card be mailed or you can pick one up at 55 West 13th Street, 7th Floor. Please call to schedule a pick up time to ensure the card is ready and someone will be available to meet you.
If you did not receive your alumni card this year, it most likely means the address we have on file for you is incorrect. Please update your contact information with us using the instructions in the first question above.
New graduates receive their alumni card in September, after the May degrees are conferred. (Alumni cards are only available for degreed alumni.) However, if you are a December/January graduate who needs an alumni card, call 212.229.5662 x3784 and we will print one for you.
The new alumni cards were mailed in October. You should have received your new card by now. 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 was an alumni benefit under the 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. See http://www.nsu.newschool.edu/02_special.htm for information.
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. Stay tuned!
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.)
The answer at this time is no. Our IT staff has agreed to revisit the issue next fall when alumni will be able to obtain "Campus Cards." For now, IT has provided the following list of recommended vendors.
