Chat Support for Students
Meet Remy! Your text-message guide to Fordham, available 24/7.
Fordham is launching a new texting service this fall, and we'd like you to meet the pigeon behind it! Remy is a really good friend of Ramses, and starting this semester, you two will be texting.
Remy will check in during the year, answer your questions, and connect you to the right people and resources when you need them. It is also an excellent way for us to hear directly from you and make sure your voice is part of the conversation!

Remy FAQs
Have questions about Remy? We may have some answers below.
-
Remy sends a friendly "hello" to every first-year and sophomore student at the start of each semester.
After that, expect a check-in about once a week, whether it’s asking about how you're doing, sharing important campus updates, or inviting your feedback on topics we'd love to hear from students like you!
-
Remy texts from 1 (855) 694-0824. You'll receive a message at the start of the semester, so save that number! Just make sure your mobile number is up to date in the student portal under emergency contact information labeled "self," so you don't miss anything. Your number must be a US number to receive texts from Remy.

If you are a first-year or sophomore Fordham College or Gabelli School of Business undergraduate student and aren't receiving texts, double-check three things: your mobile number is up to date in the student portal under emergency contact information labeled "self," your phone isn't blocking unknown numbers, and you have a valid US phone number.
