Student Life

Being an enrolled student at New York College of Health Professions offers a unique opportunity to learn in an environment where faculty and staff are committed to helping every student succeed. The College provides comprehensive support services designed to keep students focused on completing their degrees and becoming licensed practitioners.

The Office of Student Services is the central resource for enrolled students. Student Services coordinates tutoring for students who need additional academic support, advises students during registration and the add/drop period, handles student complaints and grievances, schedules meetings of the Committee of Academic Policy and Student-Faculty Committee, coordinates New Student Orientation and Graduation, receives and investigates all Title IX incidents, and arranges reasonable accommodations for students with a 504 plan.

Student Services works closely with both the academic and enrollment departments to provide clear resolution to any student issues at the College. To file a complaint or grievance, students may obtain an incident report from Student Services or email student.services@nycollege.edu. All complaints and grievances are kept strictly confidential.
