Many professors prefer to be contacted by email rather than, say, a phone call or a drop in. That's because they tend to be busy during the day, and an email can be read at a time right for them (often at odd hours). Many if not most professors are very good at replying. If you've heardnothing within a week, it's ok to try again. Persistence often pays.
Keep in mind; you're not emailing a friend. Do not write 'hi' or 'hello' in the subject line. Better, write something like 'research in your lab' or ‘Counseling Interview’. Do not send attachments and avoid adding backgrounds and smiley faces. Steer clear from slang.
Always address the recipient in the body with "Dr." or"Professor"
Don't forget to sign your name, first name and last. Leave off your nickname as well.
What not to do:
Subj: Whazzzup!
Hi Greg (aka The 'Simsters')!
I heard you're doing research on language stuff. I'd like to get involved. I don't have much time though and would like to do stuff every other Tues from 3-4:45, unless there's a basketball game. Please let me know.
Thanks!
Amanda (aka "Chicken Little")
p.s. I like your car!! :)
Much better:
Subj: Research opportunities
Dear Dr. Simpson,
I understand you are conducting research on perception and language. I would be very interested to get involved. Do you have any psych 480 opportunities? I am a junior and am keenly interested in gaining research experience for grad school. I am a committed student, enthusiastic worker, and this experience is a priority for me.
Thank you very much in advance.
Sincerely,
Amanda Reckonwith

Writing an email to a professor is a very common way to get information about a class, a grade or an assignment. Posting to networking sites and class portals is also becoming routine. It's so common that it is easy to forget you are writing to a teacher and not a peer. Here are some things you should keep in mind when communicating with a professor electronically.
No yo! Teachers need a little respect. Even the most casual professor would prefer a complete sentence when you are contacting them. Structure an email to a professor more like you would a paper than a text message. Writing in formal English also makes you more direct and clear about what it is you are trying to ask.
Check your tone! It's really easy to sound short and demanding when you are asking for something. As corny as it sounds to say, it is always a good idea to temper a request for anything with a please and thank you.
Turnaround time. Your professors are professionals and busy professionals at that! When you contact them outside of class you are entering into a relation with their professional space. So beyond common courtesy and tone you should be patient. A response may take a few days, even to a time sensitive question. It may be unreasonable to expect a response to a question before the next class!
Netspeak is a foreign language. Even simple emoticons may not be in a professor's lexicon. Remember that these shorthand structures are context specific and without the experience of online gaming and rapid-fire interchange, many of these shorthand gestures are unintelligible :-)

Please note: Failure to meet New York State and NYU-mandated immunization requirements will result in de-enrollment* and you will not be allowed to move into Residence Halls.
New York State Public Health Law 2165 requires that all students (graduate, undergraduate and transfers and returning students who, to date, have not complied) taking six or more credits in a degree-granting program must provide proof of immunity to measles, mumps and rubella.
*De-enrollment means:
a) You will be "dropped" from classes that you have registered for, and will no longer be enrolled in or able to attend your classes; AND
b) You will be excluded from entering campus buildings and your student ID card may also be deactivated.
For more information regarding the New York State and NYU mandated immunization requirements please visit the Student Health Requirements website at: www.nyu.edu/health/requirements If you have any questions or concerns regarding the Immunization requirements, please contact the Student Health Center at health.requirements@nyu.edu or by phone at 212-443-1000.

November marks the time in the semester to meet with your advisor to plan your Spring schedule, and to look forward to other opportunities for academic study. In preparation, it is important that you review some of the policies and procedures that guide your study; that you be aware of your progress toward completion of degree requirements; that you be prepared to discuss your next steps.
Advisement is a "right" and a "responsibility", and is at its best when both you and your advisor work in partnership throughout the advisement process. As you plan, take advantage of opportunities that will enrich your academic experience:
The Collective Conversation on Advisement, Steinhardt's group of faculty, advisors, student affairs staff, and students, will be meeting year long to engage together in conversation about advisement. The goal is to understand our different ways of delivering advisement in the School, and to improve advising services to students. The collective plans to define overarching principles that guide Steinhardt advisement, and complete a portfolio of best practices by department.
We say that advisement is at its best when both student and advisor work in partnership together. Would you take a few minutes to tell us what you think? What should be our guiding principles? Role of the student? Role of the advisor?
