Getting Connected in Campus Study Spaces
To provide students with more spaces for studying, participating in classes via Zoom and working on assignments between classes, the University has identified more than 50 classrooms, as well as other campus locations, that are available for students to use throughout the day. You can access the full list of locations and hours information on the Campus Study Spaces webpage.
Wherever you study on campus, the wireless AirOrangeX network provides fast, secure connection for computers, smartphones and tablets. For best results, proper configuration is highly recommended. Follow these instructions to make sure you stay connected anywhere on campus.
To learn more about how to make the best use of technology, you can follow ITS on Instagram, listen to “ITS Behind the Monitor” on Apple Podcasts and explore Answers, Syracuse University’s technical knowledge base.

Zoom FAQ
Congratulations on completing the first week of the semester! We know things feel different this year, so we hope you have been able to connect with friends and make new ones either on campus or online. Thank you for your continued effort to stay safe while participating in our Orange community.
With a number of classes taking place on Zoom this semester, we wanted to share some FAQ that might prove helpful. As a reminder, please log in to Zoom using your Syracuse University account before joining a class meeting in Blackboard. If you attempt to enter with a personal account, you might not be able to join.
Some other tips:
What are the credentials to log in?
Syracuse University Zoom uses your NetID and password for login. To manage your account, including NetID lookup and managing your password, visitNetID Self-Serv.
How do I change my default name to my preferred name in Zoom?
Users who have a preferred name defined on MySlice will see it in their Zoom profiles.
Can I change my profile picture in my University Zoom account?
Yes, if you are a standard Syracuse University Zoom user. To add or change your profile picture, log in to zoom.syr.edu and select “Profile” from the left-hand side of the screen. Under your current photo, click “Change,” then adjust the crop area on your current picture or upload a new one. You also can delete your profile picture by clicking “Delete.”
