The actions you take over the next few months will determine whether we can be on campus together throughout the fall. Abiding by the practices in the Stay Safe Pledge will be imperative to a successful semester. If you cannot abide by the practices in this pledge, we encourage you to study remotely for the fall semester. For those who return to campus and do not comply with these directives, whether or not you take this pledge, you may face referrals to the University's Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities for violation of the Code of Student Conduct and subsequent sanctions. The safety of our community is a shared responsibility, and our actions can put ourselves and others at risk.

TUITION & FEES

SBA3: What resources are available to assist students with terminating their leases early, given the late release of reconfigured course schedules and the change in the delivery of instruction? Students’ schedules were modified and released after leases were signed, rendering the need for the lease moot. Assistance with lease terminations prevents the unnecessary financial burden on students with the bulk of coursework now online.

...

A: As with tuition, the University has not at this time indicated that fees will be refunded. On August 1, the College learned that the University plans to waive the health and wellness fee for all students who are fully remote this fall. Review health and wellness services here. We will keep you posted on any developments on this front.

SBA14: Students have expressed a strong desire to have access to lockers. Given that they are so close together, students are open to, and requesting, the school develop social distancing protocols and measures to ensure students have access (such as the scheduling system mentioned, or asking students to request access for the semester and to then have administration redistribute them an appropriate distance apart).

A: In light of the strong preference for locker space this fall, we plan to make lockers available as follows, subject to change given the continued evolution of COVID-19.All 1L students All 1L students who plan to be in Dineen Hall for instruction this fall will be assigned lockers with as much spacing between students as possible. We will next ask our receive their locker assignments during Orientation. Any 2L and 3L students student who would like a locker assignment to let Sarah Valenti know in accordance with instructions we will share soonhas requested a locker will receive their locker assignment from Assistant Director of Events and Facilities Sarah Valenti. Please note that students are responsible for their own locks.

By its nature, the locker area is a high-risk area in terms of possible virus transmission. You must wear a mask at all times when in the locker area. Moreover, you should not access your locker if doing so would place you within 6 feet of another individual in the area. You should access your lockers for periods not exceeding a few minutes per visit in deference to your peers. Additional details will follow.SBA15: The last email sent to students regarding the elevator policy raised concerns that students with disabilities would have to identify themselves in order to use the elevators. .

It is strongly recommended that students use the lockers for daily storage of only that which is necessary to access on any given day. Long term storage of many or voluminous items is discouraged, given the possibility that the presence of COVID cases on campus could result in mandatory and rapid evacuation.

Q19: What accommodations will be made for students unable to return to campus in fall 2020 due to health  or other  concerns?

A:  The College is planning for residential instruction this fall,  as outlined in this memo . We also continue to explore how best to deliver online instruction to accommodate students and faculty not able to be on campus—because they are immunocompromised, in self-quarantine, or ill with COVID-19—while including meaningful residential opportunities based upon our programmatic needs, accreditation requirements, and academic standards.

Q20: How can we store supplies, books, etc. without locker spaces?

We will share our findings as soon as we have exhausted all possibilities within Dineen Hall.Q21: Why did the College of Law decide to host both online and in- All 1L students who plan to be in Dineen Hall for instruction this fall will receive their locker assignments during Orientation.

...

Q32: If the college of law was able to decide not to do weekend classes (against main campus’s decision) why are we not making a decision to go fully online despite main campus’s decision to risk the lives of students and faculty?

A: SU is committed to residential instruction for this fall consistent with the safety and health of students, staff and faculty. The actual implementation of residential instruction is left to the schools and colleges, which is why we will not have weekend instruction. 

Out of concern for students and their well-being, the College of Law quickly determined that it would be best to give our students the choice between residential and online instruction. As a result, students have the option to come to campus or else pursue their semester fully online.

Registration, Calendar, Schedules, Add/Drop

...

A: A May 12, 2020, Daily Orange article on University tuition (“SU to raise cost of tuition for 2020-21 academic year”) contained a factual error with regard to the College of Law’s Health and Wellness fee. The article falsely reported a 15% increase, whereas the fee increase is in fact $15.00, or 2%, for the year and is on par with other schools and colleges. College of Law program fees—the Law Resource Fee and Law Activity Fee—remain flat with no increase. Tuition and fees are set by the Board of Trustees of Syracuse University. If the tuition or fees are changed, the College of Law will inform students as soon as possible. Please contact the  Office of Financial Aid  with any questions.

UPDATE: On August 1, the College learned that the University plans to waive the health and wellness fee for all students who are fully remote this fall. Review health and wellness services here.

Or students can email the office's main email  career@law.syr.edu  or email individual counselors (below). Students also can make appointments in Symplicity under "Counseling Appointment" on your profile screen.
