GCNYC is deeply committed to student well-being and campus security.

At GCNYC, campus safety is specifically the responsibility of the Vice President & Provost and the Director of Operations, Title IX Coordinator—to whom any questions or concerns should be directed. They are responsible for the campus’ annual security report, as well as all initiatives to maintain the safety and security of our campus. In compliance with relevant regulation (including the Clery Act, the Violence Against Women Act, Title IX, and New York State Educational Law article 129-A and B), the Vice President & Provost of GCNYC, or the Title IX Coordinator, will be responsible for identifying those College officials who qualify as Campus Security Authorities (CSAs). All College security are trained as CSAs.
For more information or to report an incident related to Title IX, Clery or any other crime, please contact the Title IX Coordinator at titleixcoordinator@gcu.ac.uk.

Glasgow Caledonian New York College is committed to providing equal educational opportunity and participation for students with disabilities. We work with our students to determine appropriate and reasonable accommodations that support their equal access to a world-class education. Confidentiality is of the utmost importance, and disability-related information is never disclosed without student permission.
Students with impairments and conditions may request accommodations to assist them in their GCNYC experience. To request an accommodation for a qualifying disability, a student must self-identify and contact the Disability Services Coordinator Michael Cohen, PhD at michael.cohen@gcu.ac.uk.
Mental health is an important aspect of student well-being. Students in need of counseling services should contact the Director of Counseling and Disability Services Coordinator, Michael Cohen, PhD at michael.cohen@gcu.ac.uk for referrals and information on scheduling an appointment. Students can schedule six 30-minute counseling sessions per trimester.

GCNYC seeks to provide career resources designed to meet the needs of our graduate-level students enrolled in our social impact, fashion and risk management programs. Each trimester, the College will host a series of career workshops that help students build the in-demand technical and interpersonal skills needed for professional success.
In addition to the more formal career development opportunities, GCNYC’s coursework continually encourages connections between course insights and students’ professions. Every program culminates in a master’s thesis that allows students to demonstrate their applied research skills and deep understanding of implementing sustainability into real-world business solutions.
GCNYC is also delighted to share job opportunities with all of our students and alumni. Please feel free to join our GCNYC Student and Alumni LinkedIn Group and post the opportunities on our page.
