Get E-Connected
This page provides information about how to get connected to the
Wagner online community, as well as important online resources and
tools. The Wagner School communicates frequently with students through
their NYU e-mail, and will send e-mail ONLY to your NYU e-mail address.
Therefore, all students are required to activate their NYU e-mail
and must check it regularly OR have it forwarded to an existing
e-mail account (see NYU
Home and E-mail for instructions).
For more detailed information and FAQs about NYU computing resources,
see NYU's Information
Technology Services (ITS) web site.
