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.

...

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.

...

A. ABA Standard 306(e) limits distance education credits in two ways: (a) no more than one-third of credit hours for a JD degree may be through distance education courses (29 credits); and (b) no more than 10 of those credits may be earned during the first one-third of a student’s legal education. Given the impact of COVID-19, on June 25, 2020, the College of Law sought an emergency variance from the ABA to exempt credits earned in JD residential courses offered through distance education during the COVID-19 emergency from the credit limits on distance education set forth in ABA Standard 306(e). The ABA has granted the College of Law a variance from the credit limitations of Standard 306(e) for the JD residential 2020-2021 academic year. The variance is limited to the expected duration of the extraordinary circumstances on the basis of which it is granted. Should the COVID-19 pandemic subside prior to the start of the spring 2021 semester, the ABA may terminate this variance. We will continue to advocate for our students as we monitor the impact of the pandemic on our learning environment.

Q84c: Where do I find the location of my online classes or how to join the live stream of in-person classes?

A: Links to live online class sessions and class recordings will be posted on Blackboard for your course. Please contact your instructor with any questions about accessing the live classes and recordings.

Tuition & Fees

Q85: How will the modified in-person and virtual learning structure affect our tuition? Is tuition still slated to increase? Will we all receive a reduced tuition rate in light of these COVID-19-related restrictions on our educational experience?

...

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.

Experiential Learning (Externships, Clinics, etc.)

Q90: How are clinics being impacted?

...

A: Yes! All College of Law offices are open during normal business hours. Our teams are ready to support you even as they work remotely, like you. Department points of entry can be  found here , and the College's full Directory can be  found here .

Q119: Can I still make an appointment with the Office of Career Services?

A: Students can make appointments with Career Services by calling the main phone number (315.443.1941, note that although your call might not be picked up right away, it will be returned). 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. Please indicate what type of appointment you would like (i.e., Zoom or phone) regardless of what method is used to schedule it. Be sure if selecting "phone" to include the best number to reach you.
