The aim of NYU programs is to provide students with a college experience. Therefore, students are held to the expectations of undergraduates inside and outside the classroom.

Confidentiality and Parent/Guardian Notification:
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) is a federal law which establishes standards concerning the privacy of student education records and the rights of students to inspect and review their education records. As enrolled students in a post-secondary institution, NYU High School Programs students are entitled to the protection afforded them under FERPA, and the right of access to education records belongs to the student no matter their legal age or status as a minor. Please be advised, however, that FERPA allows NYU staff to notify the parents or guardians of a student when there is a significant threat to a student’s health and safety or if a student has violated a University or program rule or policy or public law concerning alcohol or another controlled substance among other circumstances. The decision to notify parents or guardians in such situations will be made according to the professional judgment of appropriate staff and does not require prior consent of the student. Students may or may not be consulted in the notification process.
