Financial Aid Hours & Appointments
Our Financial Aid team look forward to connecting with you virtually. Counselors are available by email and phone Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.
To meet with a counselor on campus, you can either schedule an appointment at a designated time or join the live line of our in-person queue. To set up a meeting, navigate to our QLess link and enter your name, phone number, and student ID. You can also join the line by texting "The New School NY" to 646.328.6322 and following the instructions you receive. You will then receive text updates on your wait time and a notification and instructions
as your appointment time nears.
Zoom Hours
You can also drop in and speak with someone from our team on Zoom during Financial Aid virtual walk-in hours, Monday through Thursday, from 10:00
a.m. to 2:00 p.m. No appointment is necessary. Please have your New School student ID or government-issued ID available to confirm your identity. Parents and guardians who are authorized users on a student's account may also make use of the drop-in
hours.
