As a new student, you will be automatically enrolled in Prep for Success, an online course designed to prepare you for life at The New School. Course modules will introduce you to important campus resources and the academic disciplines you’ll explore here, along with some important policies you need to read and acknowledge.
Prep for Success will be available on Canvas in early August. This is the same platform where you’ll find information about your classes once the semester starts. To access Canvas, log in to MyNewSchool and use the hamburger menu in the upper right-hand corner to open the Apps Locker. Canvas is also available through the New School mobile app.
All of the course modules will be available to you throughout your first semester at The New School. The course is not graded; it is a resource that enables you to learn about the university and arrive prepared to participate in this vibrant, challenging, and innovative community. You are encouraged to complete the required modules within the first six weeks of the semester, and your New Student Checklist is not complete until you finish the Prep for Success course.
If you do not see the Prep for Success course in your Canvas dashboard in early January, please email [email protected] for help.
