What is NYU Classes?

The NYU Classes online learning management system enables NYU faculty to use the web to enhance classroom instruction. Instructors can use NYU Classes to:

Create full-featured, online course environments for the members of their class to share course readings and lectures.

Distribute and collect assignments.

Generate a virtual class discussion, and more.

NYU Classes is the same tool used by NYU faculty across global NYU locations, so you can share content across your course sites, regardless of where they’ve been taught.

When to Activate NYU Classes Sites

Generally, NYU Classes sites are available for activation approximately two weeks after semester registration. The timeframes below provide a general guideline around course site availability. Once faculty are able to activate their NYU Classes sites for the upcoming term, announcements will be posted in the NYUAD Intranet and the Faculty Gazette email newsletter.

Personalized Help With NYU Classes

We offer multiple self-help resources and tutorials to get you started with using NYU Classes. Additionally, academic technologists are available to work with you individually to set up your course sites and customize them to your curricular needs. You may also schedule an appointment with the team at the Center for Digital Scholarship, or drop into one of our many NYU Classes workshops scheduled throughout the semester.

The NYUAD Library can assist faculty with adding library materials to their NYU Classes course site. Services include:
- Linking of any e-content available within the NYU Library collections — database content, journal articles, ebooks, and more.
- Scanning and uploading of NYUAD Library books.
Please request assistance two months prior to the beginning of the semester to ensure availability of content. Please note NYU'S policy, based on Fair Use Copyright Law, dictates that no more than 15 percent of a book be scanned and uploaded to NYU Classes. Selections that exceed that limit can be placed on Course Reserve upon request.
