COVID-19 Info

Since the onset of the pandemic, NYU has successfully implemented a series of policies and procedures to keep our community safe and to respond rapidly to cases of COVID-19 positivity or potential exposure.

In Fall 2021, NYU implemented a vaccine requirement for all members of our community. In January 2022, the University additionally required all members of our community to receive a booster as soon as they become eligible.

NYU continues to work closely with public health officials and the city/state government to ensure we meet or exceed all guidance regarding safe practices.

GENERAL PUBLIC HEALTH POLICIES

• All residents must be in compliance with the University’s vaccination requirement for NYU community members and must display the University’s daily screener, indicating compliance with vaccination requirements, in order to be checked-in.
• Non-NYU residents must provide proof of compliance with vaccination requirements prior to arrival. Residents will receive an email from NYU Campus Safety with instructions on providing proof of vaccination status.
• All residents must comply with the University’s current masking requirements. Masks are not required in hallways, elevators, and within a resident’s own apartment or suite.
• Our current on-campus guest policy only permits guests from within the NYU community. Residents will be permitted to have one guest accompany them during check-in and check-out to assist with moving personal belongings.
• Failure to comply with applicable policies and procedures can result in consequences up to and including de-enrollment, referral to the Office of Student Conduct, and Summer Housing License cancellation.

COVID-19 TESTING

All residents should take a test to detect COVID-19 if they are experiencing symptoms or have been exposed to someone with a positive test result.

NYU Students

Optional COVID-19 testing will be available for NYU students throughout the summer, as it is during the academic year. NYU offers PCR testing by appointment and residence halls will continue to provide access to Binx saliva tests at the resource center. NYU will not facilitate randomized required testing of the community during the Summer.

Non-NYU Students

Non-NYU students should use an outside provider (e.g., urgent care center or at-home antigen test) for testing needs. If test results are positive, please notify RLHS-COVID@nyu.edu.

IF YOU DEVELOP SYMPTOMS, TEST POSITIVE, OR ARE EXPOSED TO SOMEONE WITH COVID-19

If a resident develops symptoms or is exposed to someone who tested positive for COVID-19, in accordance with CDC guidelines, they should take a COVID-19 test. If the test result is positive, they must notify the University and isolate. NYU-affiliated residents who test positive for COVID-19 should report a positive test by completing the self-report form; non-NYU students should report a positive test by emailing RLHS-COVID@nyu.edu.

If a resident needs to isolate, they will do so in their own assigned bedroom.

Individuals who test negative do not need to quarantine or notify the University of their results.
