In an effort to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and out of consideration for the health of our community, the University has moved all classes, meetings, and tutoring sessions online for the remainder of the semester. EAS has suspended all live events through the end of the semester. We will continue to communicate with our community virtually as new information and guidance emerges. 

This page is meant to be a one-stop update for our community as we navigate the rest of the Spring semester. The administrative team will continue to update this with new information, memos, and resources. All telephone calls and e-mail correspondence are being monitored remotely during our normal business hours of 9am-5pm, Monday through Friday. We appreciate your flexibility and patience.

UNIVERSITY MEMOS:

Please check the EAS Faculty Portal for all issued University memos related to COVID-19.

STUDENT EMPLOYMENT

Visit here for the latest Wasserman policy updates on student employment

As of March 19th, Federal Work Study (FWS) funds now allow all student employees to telework when feasible. Please note that FWS students must be residing in the U.S. to participate in telework. 

All students will be paid for their regular scheduled hours through the end of spring semester (May 19th) unless their appointment was planned to end sooner, regardless of whether they are able to telework. Supervisors should work with their student employees to determine if the duties they perform are feasible for telework. Given the extraordinary nature of the current situation, they should not penalize students if they cannot work during this time of remote instruction.

Student supervisors must enter an "In Time" and an "Out Time" in MyTime for each day a student was scheduled to have worked, regardless of whether the student is normally paid through Federal Work Study or through Departmental funds. Student supervisors must approve the time each pay period. This will ensure that students will continue to receive wages that they rely on.

If you have any questions related to your on campus employment, contact oncampusemployment@nyu.edu.
