Important
Information
& Policies
FERPA
What You (and Your Parents) Should Know about the Family
Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)
Website: www.poly.edu/life/student-affairs/citizenship
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that protects
the privacy of a student’s educational records.
Under FERPA, NYU-Poly may release “directory information” to third parties outside
of NYU-Poly without prior written consent from the student. At NYU-Poly, directory
information includes: student name, class year, major field of study, participation in
recognized activities and sports, dates of attendance, enrollment status (full-time,
part-time, etc.), and most recent previous educational institution attended. A student
has the right to “opt out” of the provision of directory information to third parties.
To do so, the student must contact the Registrar’s Office in person.
Under FERPA, you have the right to review and inspect your educational records.
If you wish to allow a third party (your parents, a foundation, a government, or
governmental agency) access to your educational records, you must sign a consent
form that waives your FERPA rights.
The “Waiver of FERPA Rights” form found on the website at www.poly.edu/life/student
-0/registrar/commonly may be used to waive your FERPA rights. Note, however, that
the form may not be mailed but must be presented in person to the Registrar’s Office.
Part 1.2

Standards
To view the Residence Life Handbook/Code of Conduct please visit:
www.poly.edu/life/campus/philosophy
NYU-Poly is a diverse community of people with many racial, ethnic, social and
economic backgrounds, national origins, religious and political beliefs, physical
abilities and sexual orientations.
We celebrate our rich on-campus community. All of our activities and programs benefit
from our engagement and interaction with one another, as we affirm and uphold the
countless backgrounds and personalities that forge one collective community.
At NYU-Poly, we strongly believe that actions demonstrate one’s commitment to
respecting differences. Therefore, everyone who lives in or visits the Residence Hall
must understand that we do not tolerate bigotry, threats, intimidation, violence, or
harassment against any member of our community. We insist that every member of
our community commits to the principles, described in the Residence Life Handbook
and Code of Conduct, which we have established to promote the personal and
academic growth, safety and well-being of our students.

Part 1.3
Students with Disabilities
Website: www.poly.edu/disabilities
About the Law
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973: Handicapped Persons’ Rights Under
Federal Law provides disabled students protection from discrimination and entitles
them to an equal educational opportunity. According to the law, students with disabilities
should “receive better and more integrated educational services which, in turn, enable
them to fully develop their potential.”
NYU-Poly’s Commitment
At NYU-Poly, we do not discriminate in our admissions practices and base acceptance
decisions primarily on academic records. We are committed to assisting students with
disabilities in developing the personal, as well as academic, skills necessary to fully
participate in NYU-Poly student programs. To that end, we provide services to students
with disabilities based on their individual needs.
We are also committed to working with these students so they may become effective
self-advocators. Services for students with disabilities do not include the waiving of
academic course requirements, nor the changing of course subject matter.
Responsibility as a Student with a Disability
Although not every student with a disability requires services, registering with the Office
of Student Development is advised. Once you are accepted to NYU-Poly, you should
contact the Office of Student Development for an appointment to discuss your request
for services. Be prepared to submit documentation verifying your disability.
Do not wait until after classes have begun and you are experiencing difficulty before
you contact Student Development. If you fail to contact Student Development in a timely
manner, your opportunity for services can be lost or delayed. Under such circumstances,
your instructors are not obligated to make any adjustments to accommodate you.
Therefore, we urge you to contact Student Development, even if you would like to try
to get along without assistance. If your disability requires the services of note takers
or readers, you will be asked to participate in the process of identifying an appropriate
fellow student for that purpose. Student Development will compensate your note taker
or reader.
Confidentiality
When appropriate, the only information about your disability that is shared with other
members of the NYU-Poly community (instructors, counselors) is its type, such as:
legally blind or visually impaired, deaf or hearing impaired, medically impaired,
physically disabled, learning disabled. If you think it is helpful for your instructors
and/or the counselors to know more about your situation, you may give us permission
to share the information.
Temporary Disability
If you are the unfortunate victim of an accident, illness, or crime, and are rendered
temporarily disabled, contact Student Development.

Polytechnic Institute of New York University
Part 1.4
Academic Honesty Expectations
Please refer to the Code of Conduct for the complete Institute Policy
on Academic Dishonesty, which can be found online at:
Website: www.poly.edu/academics/code-of-conduct
As a member of the NYU-Poly community, you are expected to exhibit honesty, integrity
and fairness in your academic work and interaction with others. The entire community
shares the responsibility to secure and respect general conditions conducive to
academic honesty. Individual academic departments may develop and publicize
supplemental guidelines in conformity with Institute policies for academic competence
and honesty appropriate to their fields of study. Academic dishonesty is treated as a
moral and intellectual offense against the academic community and is not tolerated.
You and all members of the NYU-Poly community are responsible for reading and
familiarizing yourself with the Institute Policy on Academic Dishonesty found in the
Code of Conduct. The policy describes academic procedures for preventing acts
of academic dishonesty and for noting and taking steps to prevent recurrence of
such events.
Academic dishonesty is an act of fraud, which may include misrepresentation, deceit,
falsification, or trickery of any kind that is done by the student with the purpose, intent,
or expectation of influencing a grade or other academic evaluation. Academic dishonesty
also includes forgery and falsification of NYU-Poly academic documents, intentionally
impeding or damaging the academic work of others, or assisting other students in acts
of dishonesty. Common examples of academically dishonest behavior include, but are
not limited to, the following: cheating, fabrication, facilitating academic dishonesty,
plagiarism and unauthorized collaboration.
Part 1.5
Computer Requirements
Website: www.poly.edu/life/student-0/information/laptop
NYU-Poly requires that each student have a laptop computer. Please visit our website
to review this year’s minimum requirements for laptops - it is imperative that you read
the specifications very carefully before purchasing your laptop. For your convenience,
we have made arrangements with the NYU Computer Store for new students to purchase
a recommended laptop that already meets these requirements; instructions on how to
purchase the recommended laptop from the NYU Computer Store can be found on our
website as well.
Students may drop off their laptops at the NYU-Poly Laptop Help Desk to have the
required software (NYU-Poly Software Package) loaded on their laptops beginning in
June and also during the New Student Orientation.
For questions, please contact the NYU-Poly Laptop Help Desk at notebook@poly.edu
or (718) 260-3368.

Part 1.6
Policy on E-Mail Communication
Website: www.poly.edu/life/student-0/information/e-mail
First: Summer Communications
You will be receiving a variety of notices from a number of different offices at NYU-Poly
over the course of the summer. These notices will be sent to your NYU-Poly e-mail
account. Make sure that you check your NYU-Poly e-mail account regularly. (Note:
We encourage you to check the NYU-Poly account directly rather than forwarding
the account to another e-mail provider as the reliability of forwarding is sometimes
questionable and you may miss important information/reminders.)
Your NYU-Poly e-mail account was sent to you in the letter acknowledging that we
received your application for admission. If you are unable to locate this information,
simply call the admissions office at (718) 637-5955 for assistance.
Second: Info From Our Information Technology Office (IT)
Approximately one week after receiving this “Enrollment QuickStart Guide,” you will
receive an e-mail from IT giving you directions on accessing four of the Institute’s online
systems. These systems allow you to enroll in classes, check your schedule, view your
financial aid, and view and pay your bill online. Because you will be registering for your
fall classes online, it is imperative that you follow the instructions in the e-mail in a timely
manner.
Should you experience difficulties in activating your system access after receiving
IT’s e-mail instructions, feel free to contact the Information Systems Help Desk at
(718) 260-3123 or e-mail the Help Desk at help@poly.edu.
Third: NYU-Poly’s Communication Policy
In our on-going campaign to be environmentally aware by “going green” and to increase
the safety, efficiency and speed of our communication with students, NYU-Poly has
instituted a communication policy in which NYU-Poly will no longer use paper
communication with students.
All NYU-Poly students have a Polytechnic Institute of New York University e-mail account
and, through the PeopleSoft Blackboard integration, access to MyPoly for institutional
information, concerning the classes for which they are registered and organizational
information and services. Because of this robust electronic access, NYU-Poly faculty
and administration will contact students with important information and notices
electronically only through the various communication technologies and environments
provided by the Institute.
To ensure that students both receive and are responsive to important notices from all
departments and offices at NYU-Poly, students need to observe the following policy:
•
The NYU-Poly e-mail account is a student’s official point of contact. Students are
expected to directly access this account at least once each school day.
•
Students must be aware of notices posted on MyPoly. It is the student’s responsibility
to check this portal during the drop/add period of registration and regularly during
the term in order to verify the accuracy of his/her schedule and to read any official
Institute notices. Schedules should be verified by students at least once during the
first two weeks of the term and once after mid-semester. The Academic Calendar
that delineates the different registration periods is also available on MyPoly.
Students should be familiar with this calendar and follow it accordingly.
•
Students are required to be aware of course-related information available on their
course environment on Blackboard, such as course syllabi, resources, calendar,
assignment expectations, special announcements, grades, etc.
SPECIAL NOTE: New NYU-Poly students may not have access to MyPoly until
August 1st. All other access is open to new students once they activate their accounts.

Polytechnic Institute of New York University
Part 1.7
Health Insurance
Website: www.poly.edu/studentinsurance
Polytechnic Institute of New York University requires that all
students who are registered for nine (9) or more credits or are
considered full-time students have medical care insurance.
We are pleased to provide students with a comprehensive health insurance plan option.
This option is for students who do not have insurance, whose current family health
coverage is about to expire, or whose current health insurance is with an HMO
or restricted PPO out of the area. Additionally, we require that all of our international
students be enrolled in the school sponsored accident and sickness plan.
The NYU-Poly Student Health Insurance Plan is a low-cost Preferred Provider Organization
(PPO) plan that meets school, state and federal requirements and provides important
coverage at a reasonable cost. The plan brochure, enrollment information, insurance
card and forms for the 2011-12 academic year will be available only through a link on
the NYU-Poly website at www.poly.edu/studentinsurance. (This site will be available to
you not later than late June and we will notify you when it “goes live.”)
For students with 9 or more credits or who are considered full-time, a health insurance
fee of $363 for the NYU-Poly Student Health Insurance Plan will appear on your fall tuition
bill and $364 will appear on your spring tuition bill. This covers the annual cost of the
insurance. If you are a graduate student taking less than 9 credits, and are considered
full-time, please contact Student Accounts to make sure that you are properly enrolled in
the program. ALL students MUST go to the above website and either 1) officially enroll in
the plan or 2) waive the plan. If you have your own comparable health coverage and wish
to waive the plan (i.e., have the fee removed from your bill), you must complete the online
waiver form located at the above website. The waiver is valid for one year. (Please note
that the fee will only be waived if you complete the waiver form by September 13, 2011.
After this date the fee will remain on your account and will not be removed.

NYU-Poly’s Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) center offers a variety of
services to help students achieve their maximum potential, both academically and
professionally, as well as socially and emotionally.
If you are an NYU-Poly student, you can meet with a professional staff member, a licensed
psychologist, or social worker (or with a supervised trainee), for consultation and referral,
short-term individual counseling and psychotherapy, as well as group counseling and
psychotherapy. Consultation, counseling and psychotherapy are confidential and paid
for as part of your registration fees, so there is no additional cost to you.
Family, Faculty and Staff
We also offer consultation to friends, family, faculty and staff members who are concerned
about an NYU-Poly student. (Note: We cannot disclose information about a particular
student without his/her written consent, nor can we disclose whether or not a student
has or is receiving services at CAPS.)

Visit: 359 Jacobs Administration Building
The Career Management Center and the NYU Wasserman Center for Career
Development will connect you with leading companies that are searching for highly
skilled, market-ready individuals prepared to take on the challenges and opportunities
of the 21st century. Our offices help undergraduate and graduate students seek positions
where their refined technical, analytical and communication skills can best be put to use.
Career Counseling and Career Development Seminars
Knowing how to conduct an internship or job search is key to landing the opportunity
you want. Through one-on-one career counseling and group seminars, NYU-Poly
students acquire effective job search skills designed to complement their successful
in-classroom experiences. Writing an effective résumé, preparing for a career fair and
acing the interview are just some of the topics addressed by career center staff.
Internship Opportunities
Internships allow students to gain real-world experience while giving employers a chance
to identify future talent. Students are encouraged to participate in one or more internships
before they graduate, demonstrating to employers NYU-Poly’s high standards of
excellence. These professional experiences give students an edge over the competition
and have the potential to turn into full-time opportunities following graduation.
NYU CareerNet, Career Fairs and On-Campus Recruiting
NYU-Poly students can connect to NYU CareerNet, our online internship and job search
engine. Using this valuable database, students can submit a cover letter and résumé
directly to employers. Additionally, internship and job seekers can meet with hiring
companies at career fairs and even arrange on-campus interviews with these employers.
Participating companies range from small entrepreneurial start-ups to mid-sized
businesses to internationally recognized major corporations.

Services & How
To Use Them
Bookstore & Textbooks
Website: www.bookstores.nyu.edu
Once you have registered for your classes, you will be able to find the required and
recommended textbooks for your classes through the NYU Bookstore website. All you
need are the catalog numbers for all your classes, and the bookstore’s website will
provide you with a list of books required for your courses.
Step 1: Have the catalog numbers ready for all your classes. You can find these
numbers on your student schedule, which is available through PS Data once you are
registered. You can also find these numbers on the class schedule page on the
NYU-Poly website (http://www.poly.edu/academics/class).
Here are sample catalog numbers for NYU-Poly courses:
CS 5403 section 1328 CM 1014 section 1689
DM 6153 section 2322 *If your catalog number is only 3 digits, then add a “0” (zero) to the end of it:
Example CS.392 becomes CS.3920
Step 2: On the NYU Bookstore Home page, click on the link:
“Textbook Inquiry and Ordering.”
This link will bring you to a page titled “Find a Book/Inquiry and Ordering.”

Enter Here
Step 3: Once you’re on the “Find a Book/Inquiry and Ordering” page,
locate the heading “By Course.”
Select the term “Fall 11.” In the “Department” field enter your department initials, in the
“Course ID” field, enter your four-digit catalog number and in the “Section #” field, enter
your four-digit class number, then click on the “Go” button.
Example:
Step 4: This will provide you with a list of the course materials required for the course
you have entered. You will need to repeat steps 1-3 for each course you are taking. From
this list, you may choose to purchase your books either through the NYU Bookstore or via
an alternate method. Popular online booksellers that students have used in the past are:
Alibris.com, Amazon.com and half.com.
If you complete the process and there are no textbooks listed, it means that the
professor has chosen not to use the NYU Bookstore for their particular class. You can
then find any needed textbooks by visiting www.poly.edu/acedemics/textbooks or on
the first day of class.
Should you have any questions about the book ordering process, please contact the
NYU Main Bookstore:

How to Get an ID
Website: www.poly.edu/onecard
About the NYU-Poly OneCard
As an NYU-Poly student, you are required to have an NYU-Poly photo ID card to
gain access to all buildings on campus. As a member of the NYU-Poly community,
you are required to swipe your NYU-Poly ID card at the reader to gain access to
each building. Your ID card must be carried at all times and should be worn so that
it is visible. Never lend your ID card to anyone for any reason, as you will be subject
to disciplinary action for fraudulent use of the NYU-Poly ID card.
How to Get Your NYU-Poly ID OneCard
Verification
The Facilities Management Office located in JB 152 houses the ID equipment
and handles all related issues for ID cards. A student trying to obtain an NYU-Poly
ID Card will have their eligibility verified in the Facilities Management Office (JB 152).
All students must bring proof of registration for the current semester (class schedule)
and proof of identification. (State Driver’s License, State Photo ID, or Passport)
Photos
New Undergraduate Students will have the opportunity to take ID photos during the
placement exams over the summer. If you did not take a photo during the placement
exams, you will be scheduled to take your photo ID during New Student
Orientation week.
Distribution
New Undergraduate Resident Students will receive and/or take their photo ID
on move-in day, Sunday, August 28, 2011.
New Undergraduate Students that took ID photos during the placement exams
over the summer will receive their NYU-Poly ID cards during registration on
Monday, August 29, 2011.
All other students will receive their ID card during New Student Orientation week.
(Monday, August 29, 2011 - Friday, September 2, 2011)
Lost or Stolen ID Cards
Replacement ID cards are available from the Facilities Management Office. You must
first pay the $20 replacement fee at the Financial Services window on the 2nd floor of the
Jacobs Building. Then, bring your receipt, photo ID and class schedule to JB 152 for a
replacement. Individuals with stolen IDs who possess a police report may have the
$20 fee waived.

How to Register for Classes
First-Year Student Registration Process
On-Campus: sahr.poly.edu
Off-Campus: vpn-students.poly.edu
Registering for classes involves a multi-step process that takes many factors into
consideration, ultimately, yielding a combination of classes that are reflective of the
student’s intended major. All first-year students are responsible for registering for
classes, and will complete this process in consultation with their academic adviser.
Specific guidance on how to select and register for appropriate courses will be provided
throughout the summer. Below is an overview of the steps students need to complete in
order to register for fall classes:
Math Placement Diagnostic
All students must complete the math placement diagnostic, or submit AP scores of a
4 or 5 on the calculus AB or BC exams, in order to determine their fall class. The math
placement diagnostic is an on-campus assessment, and will take place on various dates
before the beginning of the semester. While students are encouraged to complete the
diagnostic before the beginning of the registration period, students will be allowed to
enroll in classes before completing this diagnostic, using a math course marker to reserve
a space in their schedule for math. Students may go online after they complete the
math diagnostic to make a schedule adjustment, dropping the math course marker
and adding the actual course.
Major Confirmation
Students will be allowed to go online to enroll in classes based on their major. During the
first week of June, students will receive a correspondence from NYU-Poly, asking them to
confirm their intended major. Any request to change the listed major must be sent to the
Registrar’s Office by June 30th.
AP and Transfer Credits
Credits received as a result of an AP exam and/or previous college experience may allow
the recipient to be exempt from certain first-year courses; these credits will be posted to
the student’s transcript. Students should arrange to have their official test results released
by the College Board to Polytechnic Institute of NYU, Code: 2668. Scores received after
July 15th may be applied to the student’s academic record (i.e. transcript), but will not be
considered in the creation of the fall schedule.
Registration Webinar
All students will be required to attend an online advisement session, where they will
receive information on their first-year courses, how they are connected to their intended
major, and how to select and enroll in the appropriate fall courses. All webinars will be
scheduled by major—students should attend accordingly—and will be archived online for
future reference
Online Registration
Registration will begin on Monday, July 25th by appointment. Registration appointments
will be determined by the student’s major. Open enrollment will follow the scheduled
appointment period, where students, regardless of their major, will be able to go online
and make adjustments to their schedule.
Students will receive additional information about the aforementioned steps by the first
week of June. Students who are admitted into the General Studies, HEOP, and Honors
programs may have additional items to consider during the registration process, and
will receive supplemental information to guide their enrollment experience. Any and all
questions about the registration process for first-year students can be directed to the
Academic Advisement Center (AAC).

How to Work On-Campus
Student Employment Options:
• Are funded by NYU-Poly and are on-campus-only positions • Are available to all students provided that they meet the eligibility requirements
Federal Work Study (WKS):
• Is federal aid through employment and is available to both graduate and
undergraduate students, provided that they meet the eligibility requirements
• Is funded mainly by the federal government and in part by NYU-Poly
• Student must apply through the Financial Aid Office and re-apply annually
What to do when you get a campus job:
For US Citizens and Permanent Residents:
Once an offer of employment has been extended, the next steps are as follows:
1. Students go to Human Resources (HR) to complete an I-9 form. U.S. Federal
Law requires the I-9 be completed by ALL employees within three days of hire. 2. Once the I-9 form is completed, the student employee will be given a signed “Certification of Employment” by HR. This certification identifies the effective
date that the student is eligible to work.
3. Students are required to provide the supervisor with the (yellow) copy of the Certification of Employment. The department is responsible for completing
and submitting the electronic Personnel Action Form (PAF) to record the employment. Once HR receives the PAF, HR will review and begin processing of the new hire.
Foreign Nationals / International Students:
•
Confirm your immigration status and/or employment eligibility with the Office
of International Student and Scholars (OISS) prior to seeking any employment at
NYU-Poly. OISS will provide you with an “On-campus Employment Verification
Letter,” which shows that you are eligible to work on-campus.
Getting paid:
• All hourly (bi-weekly) student workers are required to complete time sheets to
record their work hours and meal breaks. Student employees are responsible for completing their time sheets in a timely and accurate manner. Polytechnic Institute of New York University

2011-2012 – STUDENT IMMUNIZATION REQUIREMENTS
New York State requires students attending colleges and universities in New York to comply with Public
Health Laws 2165 and 2167 for measles, mumps, rubella and meningitis. These laws apply to all students
registered for 6 or more credits and include graduates, undergraduates, and commuter, resident, domestic
and international students.
Students must submit proper proof of immunity to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions (Undergraduate
Students) or the Graduate Center (Graduate Students) within (30) thirty days of their first class. Students who
do not submit the required information will be excluded from class, the residence hall, and prohibited from
further registration at NYU-Poly. Proof of immunity is as follows:
• MEASLES (Rubeola): Two dates of immunization
Both dates must be at least 28 days apart. A positive measles titer (blood test) or a disease
statement from the diagnosing physician also constitutes valid proof of immunity.
• MUMPS: One date of immunization
The date must be on or after your first birthday. A positive mumps titer (blood test) or a
disease statement from the diagnosing physician also constitutes valid proof of immunity.
• RUBELLA (German measles): One date of immunization
The date must be on or after your first birthday. A positive rubella titer (blood test) is also an
acceptable proof of immunity in lieu of an immunization date.
• MEDICAL EXEMPTIONS
Medical exemptions can be demonstrated by having a licensed physician or nurse
practitioner certify in writing that one or more of the required immunizations may be
detrimental to the student’s health or is otherwise medically contraindicated. The
requirements will then be waived until such immunization is determined no longer detrimental
or otherwise medically contraindicated. Students who have temporary medical exemptions
will be kept on a separate listing and will be notified in writing of the need to submit
immunization records after the temporary medical exemption date.
• RELIGIOUS EXEMPTIONS
Religious exemptions can be demonstrated by submitting a written and signed statement
from the student, or in the event the student is a minor, from his/her parents or guardians,
that they hold sincere and genuine religious beliefs, which prohibit immunization of the
students. This statement must be detailed enough to prove to the Institute that the beliefs
are religious, not philosophical, and sincerely and genuinely held.

I have filled out this application to the best of my ability. I fully understand that housing is available
on a first-come, first-serve basis. The Freshman Housing application submission deadline for the Fall
Semester is May 15th. I am also aware that a non-refundable deposit of $400.00 for Domestic Students
and $1,000.00 for International Students is required to process my application and if my deposit is not
paid, I will not be eligible to receive housing.
