In an effort to reduce our carbon footprint and adhere to The New School's commitment to sustainability, we transitioned to digital alumni cards in 2019 and will no longer mail alumni cards. Request your digital New School alumni card.

  Library Access

  Alumni with a New School Alumni Photo ID card are entitled to use the three library spaces on campus. They have on-site access to study space, reading materials, computers, databases, librarians, and more. Visit The New School Libraries for more information about services or visit Ask Us with questions.

  Campus Wireless Access

  Alumni have free wireless access while visiting the New School campus. For more information about connecting to the newschool-alumni network, please visit The New School's IT website. You must have a New School email address to log in; if you do not have one, you can request a New School alumni email account.

  New School Alumni Email

  New School email accounts are provided as a feature of New School GSuite by Google. Your New School GSuite account offers unlimited storage, powerful spam filtering, integrated chat, voice and video conferencing, 99.9 percent uptime, and no ads.

  As of May 2014, graduates retain the New School email address they used as students. Email addresses remain in the format of netid@newschool.edu. In order to avoid being temporarily locked out of their accounts, alumni must log in to their email account at least once every six months. If you are unable to log in or need assistance, please contact IT Central directly.

  Alumni who graduated before 2014 can request a New School alumni email account.

  The New School's public programs offer a chance unlike any other to ask questions, discover new ideas, make connections, and find a community of people ready to engage. Unmatched in quality and quantity and available only through The New School, public programs are a hallmark of the New School experience.
