NYFA encourages all students to create student clubs that enhances and compliments NYFA’s mission and goals, campus community, and does not duplicate the efforts of a currently recognized student club.

Student Club Handbook

The New York Film Academy is proud to support each of these clubs and our office is eager to assist student leaders as they strive to build a stronger community. The “Student Club Handbook” is the first step in fulfilling this role.
