Room selection related housing policies.
NO SMOKING
Syracuse University regulations prohibit smoking on all University property.
ACADEMIC YEAR COMMITMENT
Regardless of class standing your commitment is for the full academic year-both fall and spring semesters. Room charges are billed by the semester. The term of occupancy and your financial obligation is from fall opening in August until close of residence halls in May.
TWO-YEAR HOUSING REQUIREMENT
Syracuse University first- and second-year students are required to live in University housing. Completion of the two-year requirement midway through an academic year does not exempt a student from the academic year housing commitment.
CONSOLIDATION POLICY
Residents of rooms or apartments that are not occupied at capacity may be required to relocate to comparable space within their residence hall or in another housing unit in pursuit of housing priorities.
MEAL PLAN REQUIREMENT
All undergraduate students assigned to residence halls (both North and South Campus) are required to be on a meal plan. Following the conclusion of Room Selection students assigned to housing will be notified via their syr.edu e-mail address to select a meal plan for the fall semester.
