The University will notify students of an emergency through various media, including text messages. NYU requires that all students provide two types of emergency contacts: the student's cell phone number (domestic or international) and a third party the University can contact in the case of an emergency, including the party's phone number. Students will not be allowed to register for classes without this information on file in Albert.
The following steps will guide you through the process for entering your cell phone number and an emergency contact number.
