Do you accept walk-in or drop-in appointments?
To keep our community safe during this ongoing pandemic, our staff and faculty will not honor walk-in or drop-in appointments. Please email the person you wish to see to set up an in-person appointment. If you have general questions about our department or programs, please email EAStudies@nyu.edu and we will get back to you. All walk-in/drop-in appointments will be turned away.
In addition, all public work and lounge spaces on the 5th floor will only be available for use as study spaces. Please adhere to our department labels for tables and chairs that have "do-not-use" signs. In addition, we ask everyone to refrain from gathering in the back and side hallways for group meetings, study sessions, and work breaks. We apologize for any inconveniences and appreciate your understanding as we work to social distance and keep everyone safe.
What are your in-person office hours?
Our staff will be available through a mixture of remote and in-person hours.
I am a faculty, student, staff, that needs to access the office for a 1-time visit. What do I do?
Participation in the community testing process is mandatory for anyone who needs to enter NYU buildings until you meet the following criteria:
1. You received an FDA-authorized or WHO-listed vaccine,
2. It has been two weeks since your final vaccine dose, and
3. Your proof of vaccination has been determined “Status: Compliant” and “Details: Satisfied” in the SHC portal.
If you do not meet the criteria above, you must be up-to-date on your testing requirement or you will not be able to enter NYU buildings. Those who have provided proof of vaccination and develop symptoms of COVID-19 are still required to complete the self-report form to determine whether or not testing is recommended.
For Fall 2021, the University requires that all members of the NYU community be vaccinated against COVID-19 with an FDA-authorized or WHO-listed vaccine and that they upload proof of vaccination. Those who receive an exemption from the University will be required to continue ongoing community testing and have up-to-date negative test results in order to access NYU buildings.
Please note: All travelers should review and follow NYU's additional travel-related quarantine and testing recommendations upon arrival in New York.
For more information, please visit the NY Returns Website.
Please note that to maintain continuous campus access, you must follow NYU's ongoing testing policy and complete the Daily Screener each time you come to campus.
I am a faculty, graduate student, staff that would like to schedule monthly/repeated visits to the department. What do I do?

What library resources are available during this time? If I can't find research materials or sources, who can I contact?
This URL has key information for Library Collections Access, including estimates on how long it will take to receive the materials. If you have questions on how to find EAS-specific resources, our EAS librarian, Beth Katzoff (bk60@nyu.edu) has gathered a great starting point in this Google Slides presentation. In addition, you may contact Beth with specific questions and requests.
Can I send mail and packages to the department?
We highly recommend that you redirect your mail and package deliveries to your residential address for the time being. However, our department staff can accept and pick up mail, parcels, and packages from the lobby for the 5th floor. Any driver or person making deliveries to 19 UP will be asked to leave the mail or packages in the lobby for our staff to pick up. If our staff is not in the office, the delivery will be rescheduled for a different day.
