ACADEMIC SUPPORT SERVICES
SCPS students enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate degree program have access to a variety
of academic services to support their studies, including faculty advisors, access to the NYU
Writing Center, tutoring, workshops, and assistance citing resources for their projects.
ACADEMIC ADVISORS
Academic advisors serve as a basic source of information about the degree requirements,
policies, and procedures of your program. They are able to help you resolve academic problems and
make informed educational choices. Students are permitted to meet with advisors as often as
needed.
Students are strongly encouraged to meet with their advisor each term. In addition, many courses
are restricted and require an access code that an advisor must provide prior to registering.
Contact your program office for specific information regarding the advisement process.
NYU WRITING CENTER
Located at 411 Lafayette Street, 3rd floor, the Writing Center is staffed by trained
consultants who will assist you in improving your writing skills and revising what you have already
written. Writing consultants will work with you on a one-to-one basis, providing feedback,
suggestions, information, advice, and encouragement. Any student currently enrolled at NYU is
eligible to use the Writing Center.
Students must make their first appointment in person at the Writing Center; no first-time
appointments are given over the phone. For more information, call the Writing Center directly at
(212) 998-8866.
SPECIAL
SCPS WORKSHOPS
Each semester the Office of Graduate Student Life and the Office of Undergraduate Student
Life present a variety of workshops on writing skills, presentation skills, Excel spreadsheet
basics, research paper writing, and more. View schedule of
upcoming
workshops.
RESOURCES FOR PROPER CITATION
All students are expected to pursue and meet the highest standards of academic excellence by
adhering to the norms of a serious intellectual community. This includes the proper citation of
ideas, data, and published work of others. Students should always check with the instructor or
program to determine the appropriate requirements for a specific project. For more information, see
