Fall 2026 Family Orientation

Welcome to The New School Family! As your student embarks on the start of their journey here at The New School, we've designed an Orientation experience just for family members to make sure you have all the information you need. 


Family Orientation consists of a mix of virtual and in-person opportunities in July and August. All Family Orientation information will be hosted on this hub, so be sure to bookmark it for easy reference,

Presented by the Division of Student Success

Health & Safety Information

Event guests and visitors must provide proof of up-to-date vaccination, including a booster when eligible. The following protocols will be in place to ensure a safe and healthy experience for everyone:


Masks must be worn in concert and lecture venues where events are held. Masks are encouraged and optional elsewhere indoors.


The New School has partnered with CLEAR to utilize Health Pass, an online tool that safely and simply verifies proof of COVID-19 vaccination. For detailed instructions on downloading and using CLEAR, visit the “Events and Gatherings” section on our Access to Campus page. Specific questions about using the CLEAR Health Pass to attend an on-campus event can be directed to the event organizer.


To ensure expedited event check-in, event guests should set up a CLEAR Health Pass account with proof of vaccination prior to the event.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will Family Orientation be live streamed?

Yes! Many sessions are virtual, and the in-person welcome will be live streamed on Sunday. Recordings of all sessions will be made available on the event pages following the events.

Can you provide information to help us plan travel?

The in-person family welcome will be offered twice, once on Friday, August 21 and again on Sunday, August 23, which will also be live streamed. Family members should only attend once. 

In the coming days, we will share more information about college reception opportunities. 


While we do not currently have special rates with any area hotels, here is a list of nearby accommodations


If you plan to take public transit while in the city, note that all subways and busses accept tap-to-pay. If you plan to take the Long Island Railroad or Metro-North railroad, a physical or mobile ticket will be required. 

- OMNY Website (Subway)

- TrainTime app (LIRR and Metro-North)

Will my student attend these sessions with me?

No, these sessions are for family members only. Your student will be attending their own sessions. Please direct your student to the New Student Orientation Hub.

Our family has younger children and/or elderly family members. Can they attend?

Certainly! We know that many of our student's primary support systems are also caretakers for multiple generations. While some of the information sessions may not be the most exciting for the tiniest Narwhals in your family, please feel welcome to bring them along. Our buildings are fully accessible for strollers and wheelchairs. Feel free to email us at families@newschool.edu if you need any additional support.


We ask that all guests who will require a seat submit registration. 

What should we wear and bring to the in-person sessions?

Feel free to dress casually for family orientation! We welcome you to be comfortable, especially in the NYC heat we typically have in August. You may want layers in the event the auditorium is chilly.

 

We encourage you to bring water and snacks to meet your dietary needs.

I have additional questions. Who can I contact?

We're happy to help! Please email us at families@newschool.edu and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.
