STUDENT ADVOCACY
Student Advocacy
The Office of Student Development serves as the contact for students that may have concerns about their experience at NYU-Poly both in and outside the classroom. We strive to create a comfortable and friendly environment at Poly. There are times when students need assistance with concerns that may interfere with their success as students at Poly. After consulting with a staff member, students can receive assistance in the following areas:
Absence Notification to the Faculty
Student Religious Observance
Student Grievances and Complaints
Involuntary Withdrawals
Reporting Incidents and Crises
Students with Disabilities
Polytechnic strives to create, maintain, and improve a student-friendly environment for students with disabilities. We offer a number of services for students with disabilities, including extended time for completing exams, alternative testing procedures, note takers, and transportation to and from classes, among other options.

Code of Conduct and Judicial Process
The mission of the judicial process at Polytechnic is to promote a safe, respectful academic community by determining in an appropriate manner issues of possible violations of the Conduct Code; to provide students with the opportunity to develop into citizen leaders by giving them a central role in establishing student judicial policy and adjudicating cases; and, when appropriate, to offer violators of the code an opportunity to learn from a fair judicial process and develop into responsible community members.

Incidents of student misconduct and academic dishonesty are reported to the Office Student Development for review and appropriate action according to the University Code of Conduct and other University policies.
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education.
