Part 1.3 communications
Important Communication Changes NYU-Poly will be transitioning student email to NYU’s Google email application over the summer. • May 22, 2013- June 1, 2013: All new students will be receiving a second (NYU.edu) email account. • The new (NYU.edu) email and activation instructions will be sent to your NYU-Poly e-mail address. • Once you have activated your NYU email you should discontinue use of your temporary NYU-Poly Microsoft email and use the NYU email application as your official NYU-Poly email account.
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 initially be sent to your NYU-Poly e-mail account. • May 22, 2013- June 1, 2013: All new students will be receiving a second (NYU.edu) email account. • Once you have activated your NYU email you should discontinue use of your temporary NYU-Poly Microsoft email. • Make sure that you check your NYU-Poly e-mail, or later in the summer, your NYU email account, regularly. • We strongly encourage you to access your email accounts directly rather than forwarding 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.
Other Accounts Approximately one week after receiving this “Enrollment QuickStart Guide,” you will receive an e-mail from IT giving you directions on accessing three additional online systems: • MyPoly • PeopleSoft • VPN 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
