Frequently Asked Questions

If you were not able to attend the June 24 conversation with Dean Boise on the Path to Fall 2020, you can access the recording here.

...

A: Cleaning and sanitation of Dineen Hall is managed by the University. As indicated in the answers to Questions 14 and 27 on our law preparedness page on the Path to Fall 2020, evening and weekend custodial coverage is planned. Disinfectant wipes will be available in all classrooms and other spaces throughout the building. You should plan to use these wipes to clean your area before class begins.

...

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. We 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.

...

SBA12: For students who commute to Dineen, what measures are being put into place to provide an adequate and safe social distancing space while waiting for additional classes to start? We recommend that Melanie Gray Ceremonial Courtroom be utilized as a silent study hall for students to safely social distance and be able to study.

A: Please see the answers to Questions 5 and 12below. We continue to explore ways to make spaces available to you so you may be in Dineen Hall or nearby between classes. At this point, we expect that the Melanie Gray Ceremonial Courtroom (outside of the normal lunch hour), the Levy Atrium and the Law Library will be available for study between classes. Since Group Study Rooms cannot safely be used by groups under current social distancing requirements, they will instead be reserved for individual students who need a space to attend an online class that immediately precedes or follows an in-person class, for only the duration of the class. Rooms will be assigned using information from class schedules provided by the Registrar.SBA13: How will the Library be utilizedDuring the Fall 2020 semester, the following protocols are in effect in Dineen Hall regarding both active learning and quiet study for students:

Active Learning—Students who have back-to-back in person and online classes will find spaces in which to attend their on-line classes.
Quiet Study—Rooms for quiet study have been identified and marked accordingly throughout Dineen Hall. Students are invited to use these spaces for study between classes.
- Review the Dineen Hall Quiet Study & Active Learning Rooms List
Law Library—The library will be open for research and study from 7 a.m. to midnight every day. Group study rooms in Dineen Hall are now individual study rooms. Students may reserve these for up to 4 hours per day.

SBA13: How will the Library be utilized? What measures if any have been planned to clean all areas after student use, and what method or system is planned to ensure all students have equal access to this critical resource (Reservation system, first come first serve, by first letter of last name...)?

A: Please refer to your first question above and to the Law Library section below. As you can imagine, due to social distancing requirements, the Law Library will have fewer seats available than in a normal year. Students will choose (2Ls and 3Ls) or be assigned (1Ls) permanent library seats during the first week of classes, in blocks that coordinate with class schedules. This assigned seating system will maximize access to the library while limiting the number of people who use the same workspace during the course of a day. Weekend access will also be according to a block schedule.

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 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 .

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.

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. Please clarify the elevator policy if this is incorrect.

Elevators are by their nature small spaces; ours will accommodate no more than three persons at a time. Although we must all be conscious of and prioritize the needs of persons with disabilities in using the elevators, there will be no need to register a disability. The service elevator will be designated for faculty and staff use only.

SBA16: With the café closed Neporent Café closed and limited seating, will there be an alternative or designated dining location in Dineen?

...

At present, Campus Food Services plans to remove half of the seating in the café, install plexiglass shields where appropriate to safely maximize space, and place social distancing signage reminders as needed. The café will limit “made to order” options, and enhance “grab and go” offerings. The café will be open for students to eat their lunch subject to social distancing guidelines and space availability. First-come, first-serve will apply. More information will be forthcoming.

Except in the café and in the Melanie Gray Courtroom, no food will be allowed. Beverage containers with a lid are permitted.

Our plans are subject to change, as COVID-19 guidelines continue to evolve. Additional food options can be found here.

...

Q5: What accommodations will be made for students who commute a significant distance? For instance what if a student has in-person classes in the morning and evening and an online class in the middle of the day. Will that student need to drive back and forth twice in a day?

A: We are exploring ways to make spaces available to students in such positions so as to enable them to be in Dineen Hall between classes. We continue to explore all of our options given the many COVID-19 restraints. At present, we anticipate that between Between classes, students can be and study in the public areas of Dineen Hall, including the Library, subject to social distancing parameters.

...

A: Orientation will take place on Monday, August 17 and Tuesday, August 18, 2020. Most Orientation programming will occur online with a small component occurring in Dineen Hall. Any programming which occurs in Dineen Hall will also be live-streamed. Details will be forthcoming The Orientation schedule can be reviewed here.

Q16: Can students expect fall 2020 policies and changes to carry over to the spring semester?

...

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?

A: We are reviewing the availability of lockers and suitable alternatives. 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-person classes when higher ranked schools have decided to be online only?

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 within the University.

Out of concern for students and their well-being, the College of Law All 1L students who plan to be in Dineen Hall for instruction this fall will receive their locker assignments during Orientation.

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.

...

A: Yes. In our lecture halls, professors will use microphones, which will feed into the recording system and be amplified in the room. Smaller seminar spaces will not require amplification; in these spaces, microphones in the ceiling will feed into the recording system. Students in need of special accommodations should consult with Director of Student Affairs Sarah Collins and the University's Accessibility and Diversity webpages.

Q30: Will textbooks be available online?

...

Q33: How can a student take a rolling bag up four flights of stairs to get to class? Can the College just sort students into groups and allow them to use their lockers at a certain time?

A: We are reviewing the availability of lockers and suitable alternatives. We will share our findings as soon as we have exhausted all possibilities within Dineen Hall.

Q33a: Is there a University Adobe software license for students to use?

A: Acrobat and other University-licensed products remain available to students via the University's remote desktop solution. Connection information can be found here.

Q33b: What happens if I am subjected to quarantine upon arrival or after my arrival to the College of Law? Can I take my classes on-line even though I had planned to attend in person?

A: We recognize the need to adapt to conditions on the ground. Provision will be made, for example, for students All 1L students who plan to be in Dineen Hall for instruction this fall will receive their locker assignments during Orientation. Any 2L and 3L student who has requested a locker will receive their locker assignment from Assistant Director of Events and Facilities Sarah Valenti.

A: We recognize the need to adapt to conditions on the ground. Provision will be made, for example, for students who are unable to complete their full (state-mandated) quarantine in Syracuse prior to the start of class, or become ill with COVID-19 after the start of the class, making it impossible for them to attend in person. In such cases, students will be expected to take their classes remotely until such time as they are able to come to campus.

...

A: The University’s current guidance concerning evidence of quarantine is as follows: “Students will need to provide documentation that attests their quarantine requirement was met, including dates, address and contact information. For example, a letter from a family/relative/self-attesting to the dates you arrived, where you stayed and affirming your compliance with the quarantine requirement guidelines; documentation you were not living at your primary residence, but in another state not impacted by the travel advisory (e.g. internship employment letter, paystub); hotel or rental receipt with address. A process for submitting documentation will be provided soon.”

...

Q33e: How will new students obtain their student ID cards?

A: Arrangements for delivering SU ID cards to our 1Ls will be made through the College of Law, and they will be available in Dineen Hall.

Q34f: Will Orientation Week and Class still meet in-person during the week of August 17?

A: Please review this memo. Orientation and class the week of Aug. 17, 2020, will be online only. Students should not report to Dineen Hall.

Registration, Calendar, Schedules, Add/Drop

Q34: How will class registration work for 1Ls? Will we have to register for them now?

...

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.

Q84d: What are my options for purchasing hard copy textbooks?

A: The Bookstore is limiting the amount of students in its store. It is strongly recommended that students place a web order for their books and either pick up at the store or the store is offering free delivery to Henry Street and a flat domestic shipping fee of $6.95.

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: Syracuse University is requiring that all students, including those who live off campus, provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test before returning to campus. You may request that your at-home test be sent to your Syracuse address (see Q93d below). Also, walk-up and drive-thru testing is available at Syracuse Community Health Center, 819 South Salina Street, M-F, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Local testing sites are all drive thru so there is no contact with other patients. It is important to note that you not arrive on campus until you have tested negative for COVID-19 and have submitted your test results. Please also review the details of the University's testing protocols.

...

A: Syracuse University is requiring that all students, including those who live off campus, provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test before returning to campus. That test must be within a window of 7 to 10 days before your planned arrival on campus. Please therefore review the answer to Q93b to see what your options are. Please also review the details of the University's testing protocols.

Q94: Will the College of Law enforce observance of social distancing measures and mask-wearing to help stop the spread of coronavirus?

A: Yes. The College will enforce strict observance of these coronavirus mitigation measures by all.

Q95: If someone has an underlying health condition that might put them in a higher-risk category, should they get a doctor's note to allow them to take all courses online?

A: A doctor’s note is not required to select virtual instruction. By now, you have received a message from Dean Boise asking you to complete this survey on or before July 10. This process is the way for you to let us know your plans for the fall.

Q96: If a student becomes severely ill with Covid-19, particularly in the middle of the semester, what polices are in place to ensure that their academic progress is not permanently impeded?

A: Students who become ill should advise Director of Student Affairs Sarah Collins who will work with affected students on a case by case basis to enable them to continue their studies as much as is possible under the circumstances. A student taking in-person classes, for example, will be able to switch to the live-streamed modality. In addition, all courses will be recorded and posted to the Blackboard course site so that students can view them if they are not able to attend in person due to illness.

In any event, students who fall ill and who will miss classes should notify the Office of Student Affairs or the Registrar’s Office so that information regarding potential absences can be communicated to the instructor.

Q97: How will SU track COVID? How will we know if there is an outbreak?

A: Please refer to the Public Health Framework for Fall 2020. Among the policies and actions that will be taken to protect the health and well-being of the campus community, the University will:

Screen the entire student population for COVID-19 at the start of the semester and implement regular random screening of students, faculty, and staff throughout the fall semester.
Implement a residence hall wastewater surveillance program to monitor for the presence of COVID-19 across residence halls.
Require students, faculty, and staff to undergo routine temperature screening.
Deploy a rapid diagnostic point-of-care testing site, accessible to any student suspected of infection.
Implement, in coordination with local public health officials, a robust contract tracing program to quickly mitigate potential spread of COVID-19 on campus.
Establish a residential facility where students who are suspected or confirmed to have been exposed to the virus can be isolated.
Leverage a comprehensive COVID-19 health promotion and communications effort that will include regular campus notifications.

According to this update from the Public Health and Emergency Management Subcommittee of the Fall 2020 Open Working Group. Students also will participate in an educational program prior to their return to campus focused on health and wellness issues and, as a condition of returning to campus, students will be required to affirmatively commit to a social compact statement that defines public health expectations.

Q97a: What is the University's plan if individuals test COVID-19 positive while on campus?

A: The College and the University is making every effort to ensure a safe campus for the fall 2020 semester. However, the following decision framework has been submitted to the New York State Department of Health detailing levels of response if individuals test COVID-19 positive while on campus:

Level 1: If a small number of individuals test positive, and contact tracing suggests that exposures are confined to 10 or fewer people, then epidemiology and contact tracing suggests that the situation can be contained, isolated, and remediated. Affected areas will be decontaminated, University medical staff will monitor for possible escalation, and all other campus operations will remain unaffected.

Level 2: If the number of infected or exposed people is estimated at between 10 and 100 people, and there remains high confidence in the ability to contain, isolate, and remediate the flare-up, then precise curtailment of operations in specific areas (rooms, floors, buildings, including possibly Dineen Hall) may be required. In addition to decontamination, these areas or programs will remain curtailed for a period of time to prevent ongoing exposures.

Level 3: If small outbreak occurs in a defined population (e.g., a certain school/college—including possibly the College of Law/Dineen Hall—or degree program) and the number of potential exposures is greater than 100 and contact tracing and containment become difficult, then curtailment of operations in these select programs or areas may be required. This select response will fall short of a campus-wide response. Select programs—including possibly the College of Law/Dineen Hall—will move into an online-only environment with non-resident students staying off campus, resident students staying in their rooms, and non-essential affected employees working from home.

Level 4: If a significant outbreak in excess of approximately 100 infections has occurred, and there is low confidence in the ability to contain the outbreak campus-wide, then the whole campus will come to a full “pause”. All programs move to online alternatives, campus access will be restricted, and non-resident students and non-essential employees will work from home and stay away from campus.

Level 5: If ongoing campus or community transmission is occurring at a significant rate and there is no realistic strategy to contain or control the situation, the University will shut down on-campus operations completely. Assuming permission from public health officials, a 72-hour move out/shut down process will be initiated:

- Those with the means to travel within 8-10 hours of Syracuse will be asked to leave within 24 hours.
- Those who need to arrange travel to other areas of the United States will be asked to leave within 48 hours.
- Those students who are able to arrange international travel are asked to leave within 72 hours.
- Those unable to leave will appeal to remain on campus. Syracuse University will support any student who, for financial or other hardship reasons, cannot depart campus in response to a shutdown scenario.
- If the scenario is more extreme, students may be asked to evacuate campus immediately with only those items they can carry with them. All other possessions are left behind.

Q97b: Many of the stated COVID-19 safety measures will require less socialization, which can be crucial in staying healthy while in law school. What mental health/social services can help?

A: Counseling and psychiatry services are available to students via the Barnes Center at The Arch. Students may call 315.443.8000 to schedule an Q93d: I want to participate in the University's at-home testing kit option. How do I sign up to receive one of these kits?

A: Syracuse University has engaged LetsGetChecked, a highly reputable provider of at-home testing products, to supply FDA-approved, at-home COVID test kits at a heavily discounted cost to students. While no up-front payment is required to place an order, students who elect to use the mail-in test kit will pay $49 out of pocket; this charge will be billed to Bursar accounts.
How It Works:

Visit the LetsGetChecked COVID testing portal.
Select “Syracuse University” from the portal’s drop-down menu and then complete and submit the test request form.
You must use your SU ID number (nine digits) and Syracuse University email when requesting a kit.
Upon completing the registration form, LetsGetChecked will send you an at-home test kit.
Important: When providing LetsGetChecked a mailing address, remember to use the address where you will be during the period when you will need to administer the test.
Important: Test kits can only be sent to addresses in the United States. International students can request their mail-in kit be mailed to the address where they will be quarantining, or otherwise staying, within the United States.

Q93e: I’m unable to access the Covid home test ordering portal.

A: SU is aware of this issue and working with the portal vendor to resolve it as soon as possible. Please email us lawpreparedness@Law.syr.edu if you are experiencing this issue so that we can share your particulars (SU ID and DOB) with SU.
