There are only 60,000 people in the world who have the privilege of being a New School graduate. As a New School alumnus/alumna you are part of a vibrant and warm community. Whether you live in New York, other areas of the U.S., or in another country, you are entitled to benefits, events, programs, services, and opportunities that are exclusive to the New School alumni community.
Admission to Public Programs
New School public programs are opportunities for continued learning and a way to maintain a connection with your alma mater. Admission to most public programs is free for alumni with an Alumni Association card. To see a calendar of upcoming public programs, go to University Events.
Libraries
Alumni who received a degree or diploma from The New School, including a post-graduate certificate from Milano or a certification of graduation from Parsons are entitled to reading privileges in School libraries with an alumni card. (This privilege does not extend to NYU's Bobst Library or other consortium libraries.) Alumni who donate $100 or more to the Annual Fund in any fiscal year will receive borrowing privileges at the New School libraries for the subsequent fiscal year. Former New School students who did not receive a degree, diploma, a post-graduate certificate from Milano or a certification of graduation from Parsons but who make a donation of $250 or more to the Annual Fund in any fiscal year will receive library privileges for the next fiscal year. Visit New School Libraries for more information about campus libraries and library services.
Alumni Email
Graduates* of the Class of 2011 and later will automatically receive alumni e-mail accounts in Google Apps. If you wish to migrate your student account to Google Apps, you must do so within three months of graduation. The Office of Alumni Relations will set up alumni email accounts in Google Apps on request for graduates* of any division of the New School.
Note: Alumni email accounts are created all for individuals who have received a degree or diploma from any division of The New School (including Milano School post-graduate certificates and certification of graduation from Parsons). Alumni email accounts will not be created for nonconferred alumni or noncredit continuing education or extension students.
Campus Wireless Access
Alumni have free wireless access everywhere on The New School campus. You log on using your Net ID as your username and your date of birth in the MMDDYY format for your password.
Career Services
New School Career Services and offices in every division provide support to alumni working to launch careers, navigating through a career transition, or looking for networking opportunities. Visit Career Services to learn more about and take advantage of the services the careers offices offer alumni.
