Syracuse Welcome
2012
New Student Orientation Schedule
Welcome
Welcome to Syracuse University! You have joined a community
extending across our scenic campus, the historic City of Syracuse, our
nation, and around the globe—including more than 200,000 alumni
who are working to make a difference in the world. We are delighted
to have you join us, and we promise you many opportunities to grow,
learn, and explore.
Our orientation program for new students, Syracuse Welcome 2012,
will help you adjust to campus life and learn our values and traditions
while you are getting started on college-level coursework. We’ll ask
you to consider social issues that affect your health, safety, and wellbeing, as well as give you a chance to get better acquainted and
involved with the greater Syracuse community. We hope you’ll take
advantage of these opportunities.
This is a creative campus, a living-learning community enriched by
broad diversity of backgrounds and ideas among SU’s multicultural,
global family. We believe that you will learn best by direct
engagement with others, both on and off campus. We call this
Scholarship in Action—connecting not only with faculty and fellow
students, but also with alumni and other partners who are professionals
in fields that interest you to test your ideas and optimize your
education. That could happen anywhere from Syracuse to New York
City to Los Angeles, or from London to Chile to Beijing. We encourage
you to participate in new experiences and meet people who may be
unlike you. You may well discover talents and interests you never knew
you had as you prepare for the world, in the world.
We are honored that you have chosen SU and hope you will let us
know how we can help you accomplish your goals. I wish you every
success!
Cordially,
Nancy Cantor
Chancellor and President

Welcome
From the Director of First-Year and Transfer Programs and
the Faculty Liaison to the First-Year Experience
Dear New Students:
It is our pleasure to welcome you to the Syracuse University family. We
are thrilled that you have chosen to join us for such an important part of
your lives. Whether you are just starting your college career, have been
at another institution, or are new to the United States, now is definitely a
great time to join us.
We are looking forward to your arrival on campus and have planned
a full schedule for you and your families. As part of Syracuse Welcome
2012, we have a series of programs, academic ceremonies, and
social events to make your transition to Syracuse University smooth and
rewarding. Together with our teams of orientation Leaders and move-in
assistants (affectionately known as “Goons”), we will work to involve you
in SU. The motto of Syracuse University—established by our founders in
1870—is Suos cultores scientia coronat, or, “Knowledge crowns those
who seek her.” The wisdom of this statement is clear: Your future will be
shaped by the educational choices you make. Your assignment during
new student orientation is to attend programs, ask questions as you need
to, and open yourself to the discovery of new people and ideas. Through
these experiences, you will begin to understand all that Syracuse
University has to offer.
This Syracuse Welcome 2012 New Student Orientation Schedule
contains important information for you, including events you must attend
during orientation, so please be sure to bring it with you when you
come to campus. We encourage you to visit our web site at orientation.
syr.edu for updated information on Syracuse Welcome 2012. If you
have additional questions, contact the Office of First-Year and Transfer
Programs at 315-443-1012, or via e-mail at newtosu@syr.edu.
We hope you find your educational journey an enjoyable and rewarding
one. You have our best wishes for a great experience. We look forward
to meeting you.
Let’s go Orange!

Arriving on CAMPUS
Once you have arrived in Syracuse, you are likely to
encounter many other families bringing their students
to the University. Bring your Move-In Pass with you
to campus on move-in day. These assigned times are
designed to keep waiting to a minimum, so please
make every effort to arrive at your assigned time.
As the time draws closer, you may wish to visit
our web site at orientation.syr.edu for additional
information on the move-in process. University housing
is open for assisted new-student move-in from 9 a.m.
to 5 p.m. Wednesday, August 22, and from 9 a.m. to
5 p.m. Thursday, August 23. When you arrive at your
residence hall, you may temporarily park your car
while student volunteers—affectionately known as the
“Goon Squad”—help you unload your car and move
your belongings into your room.
Resident advisors (known as RAs) will greet you as
you check into the residence halls. When you check
in, you will receive your room key, the combination to
your mailbox, your student identification card (which
must be carried with you at all times as it contains
your student identification number and other important
information), and any new information about Syracuse
Welcome. The RAs will help you find your room and
answer any questions you may have. Commuting
students can pick up their identification cards at the
Office of Off-Campus and Commuter Services from
8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m, at 754 Ostrom Avenue.
Parking will not be available for vehicles at Day,
Flint, Lyons, or Shaw residence halls after you have
unloaded your belongings. Department of Public
Safety officers will direct drivers to Manley Field House
for alternate parking, and a shuttle bus will bring them
back to the residence halls. Students should continue
the move-in process while their driver parks.
What is the Goon Squad?
Since the 1940s, when the Traditions Commission
established the Goon Squad, Goons have been
helping incoming first-year students adjust to college
life and spread school spirit throughout campus. In
the early days, squad members would lead cheers
at football games and host such events as the annual
Goon Show. Goons also used to make sure first-year
students wore their beanies, indicating first-year status.
Today, Goon Squad members are best known as the
friendly group of students who greet first-year students
as they arrive on campus and help them move into
their residence halls.
While we make every effort to ensure a smooth movein process, please be aware that, due to the large
number of new students arriving each August (usually
3,500 new students in all), you should be prepared
to wait as long as two hours in a holding line before
entering your assigned residence hall.

Cry for Peace: Voices from the Congo Based on in-depth interviews,
Cry From Peace: Voices from the Congo brings to the stage five real people, including
survivors and refugees from the recent Congolese civil war, members of once opposing
tribes—the abductor and the violated—struggling to leave the past behind and form
a peaceful community in Central New York. A composition of interwoven personal
narratives, powerful images and beautiful songs, Cry for Peace is a rich theatrical
experience—a searing, moving and hopeful hymn to the power of the human spirit.

Provost’s Message
To Our Newest SU Students,
I am delighted that in a few weeks you will join us to begin your Syracuse
University experience. On behalf of our faculty and staff, welcome to our
campus community! There is much to look forward to upon your arrival in
August.
SU offers excellent educational opportunities across a wide range of
degree programs. While pursuing your education, you will constantly
be challenged intellectually by our dedicated faculty and motivated not
only by their passion and commitment, but also by the enthusiasm you
will share with your fellow students as you grow both intellectually and
personally.
These powerful educational relationships will take on new meaning
immediately upon your arrival. Syracuse Welcome 2012, your orientation
to Syracuse University, features a critically important series of academic
advising meetings and related events, several of which are mandatory.
Learning is central to our purpose, and while the specifics will vary
depending on your program of study, all academic events have this in
common: They are vitally important opportunities to connect with your
classmates, faculty, and advising staff.
Connecting your knowledge with the great challenges facing the world is
vital, as well. We’re going to help you do that from the start, introducing
you to SU’s extensive, nationally recognized network of projects in which
partners from the public, private, and nonprofit sectors pool their expertise
to make a difference in the world. Among the rich variety of other avenues
to explore you will find our outstanding University Lectures series, an array
of arts venues on and near campus, and thousands of other events and
opportunities that reflect SU’s proud and evolving intellectual heritage.
We love our University, and we invite you as a new member of our
community to share that affection. You have my promise that we will do
everything we can to welcome you, to engage you, and to make you glad
you are with us at SU!
Fasten your seat belts and get ready to enjoy the intellectual journey!
Eric F. Spina
Vice Chancellor and Provost

HIGHLIGHTS OF IMPORTANT ACADEMIC EVENTS
Syracuse Welcome 2012 marks the official beginning
of your academic career as a student at Syracuse
University. The underpinnings of success in your
college studies are good advising and a meaningful
and appropriate schedule of classes.
Your school or college—or schools and/or colleges,
if you are a dually enrolled student—has structured
a series of required meetings and events during
Syracuse Welcome to begin the academic advising
process, to help you make some important academic
connections, and to ensure that your first semester
of classes is well-structured. Your involvement is
essential. Successful advising depends upon the
shared commitment of students, faculty, and staff.
This weekend, you will be able to ask questions,
gather important information and materials, and
adjust your class schedule (or register for the first

INFORMATION AND
RESOURCES TO ASSIST YOU
Syracuse University Statement on Academic Advising
Academic advising is an essential component of
a Syracuse University education. The University is
committed to providing the individual advice and
assistance that students need at every step throughout
their degree programs. A successful system of
academic advising is highly dependent upon a
shared commitment of students, faculty, and staff to
the process and the availability of timely, accurate
information.
STUDENTS
Students are responsible for scheduling, preparing for,
and keeping advising appointments; for seeking out
contacts and information; and for knowing the basic
requirements of their individual programs. Students
bear the final responsibility for making their own
decisions based on the best information and advice
available and, ultimately, on their own judgment.
THE UNIVERSITY
The University, through its schools and colleges,
pledges to support a campus-wide network of
faculty, staff, and student peer advisors by providing
them with a clear and firm foundation of information
regarding policies, procedures, resources, and
programs. The University is committed to help
faculty and staff develop effective advising skills,
to evaluate its system of academic advising and
support services, and to make improvements where
necessary. The University also acknowledges
the important contributions advisors make to the
community through appropriate recognition within
the institutional reward system.
ADVISORS
Advisors are responsible for developing a thorough
knowledge of the degree requirements within the
students’ program of study and a working knowledge
of academic options and resources throughout the
University. Advisors are expected to involve students by
encouraging them to ask questions, gather information,
and explore options so that they may develop
meaningful academic plans. Advisors will be available
to students on a regular basis, monitor their advisees’
progress, assist in considering career options, and
make appropriate referrals to other campus offices.

Registration and Schedule Adjustment
REGISTRATION
If you completed your course selection AND have a
class schedule, you are eligible to make necessary
schedule adjustments using the online registration
process after attending the advising meetings listed
by your home school or college. (See Individual
School and College Events in this book.)
If you did not complete course selection or your
selections were received too late for processing AND
you do not have a class schedule, it is imperative
that you attend the advising meetings listed by your
home school or college.
Check MySlice to verify that you are eligible
to register, meaning there are no “holds” on
your record. “Holds” can result from numerous
circumstances that are often easy to resolve by
meeting with the office that placed the hold on
your record. If you have one or more holds on your
record, contact the office that applied the hold and
resolve the issue that resulted in the hold. Once the
hold is released, you will be eligible to register.
Registration for new undergraduate students who
have not completed course selection over the summer
will occur on Saturday, August 25, and Sunday,
August 26. During this process, students will receive
necessary advising and have access to MySlice,
Syracuse University’s web-based registration process.
Appropriate course selection and registration are
very important to your success and satisfaction at
Syracuse University. Here are the steps you must
follow in the order listed:
1. Review the Fall 2012 Schedule of
Classes, available online at the Registrar’s
Office web site, www.syr.edu/registrar/sc/
index.html; pick up a Course Worksheet, and (if
required) a blank Enrollment Selection Sheet from
your home school or college dean’s office.
2. Attend your assigned advising
conference. Use Class Search in MySlice so that you have
up-to-date information on what classes are
available. Your advisor will help you plan a
tentative schedule, and you should develop
alternative choices in case you become closed
out of a first-choice course. It is important to
remain flexible at this stage of your academic
career. Remember to obtain your advisor’s
signature on the Enrollment Selection Sheet (if
required by your home school or college).
3. Obtain special permission for any
courses requiring additional approval. If you and your advisor have selected one or
more courses that require special permission for
enrollment or have restrictions you do not meet,
you must obtain permission to enroll in the
course from the department, school, or college
offering the course.
4. Register online using MySlice.
After your advising conference, you may enroll
or adjust your schedule using the MySlice portal
online. You may access it from any Internetconnected computer on or off campus. The web
address is https://myslice.syr.edu, or you can
access the MySlice link from the registrar’s home
page at www.syr.edu/registrar/sc/index.html.
To access MySlice for web registration, you must
use your NetID and password. If you have not
activated your NetID and created a password, or if
you have forgotten your NetID or password, go to
the Information Technology and Services (ITS) NetID
web page at https://selfserv.syr.edu/accounts/
pwdForgot.asp and follow the instructions on the
screen.
If you need assistance with registration problems,
call 315-443-2422 or e-mail crecords@syr.edu.
Office hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

information and resources to assist you
Information Technology and Services
Information Technology and Services (ITS) provides
a wide range of computing services and facilities for
students, including high-speed wireless (AirOrangeX)
and wired (ResNET) networks for Internet connections
in the residence halls and across campus; e-mail;
online academic and personal information
resources through MySlice; the Blackboard learning
management system; web conferencing; and
computer labs equipped with specialized academic
software technologies. Access to these services is
controlled through your NetID and password. If you
have not activated your NetID you should do so
before you arrive on campus. The process is simple
and can be done online at netid.syr.edu.
IMPORTANT: Don’t share your password with anybody.
Nobody at Syracuse University, including Information
Technology and Services (ITS), will ever ask for your
password. Do not respond to any requests to reveal
your password or other private information, including
online and e-mail requests. Treat your password like
the PIN for your ATM card—as your secret!
Complete information about connecting to and using
the computing resources at SU is available on the ITS
web site at its.syr.edu/newtosu.
GET ONLINE
All SU residences enjoy 100 percent high-speed
wireless and wired network coverage. You will receive
information about connecting your devices to the SU
network when you check into your residence hall. To
connect, you will need your NetID and password,
and access to your device’s administrator account.
Please follow these requirements:
Your computer should have valid, up-to-date anti-virus
software running and a firewall that is turned on, and
be configured to update automatically.
Bring an Ethernet cable for any network-enabled
TVs, Apple TVs, Google TVs, Roku, and similar
devices, including wireless game consoles (i.e.
Xbox, Playstation), and if you want the option of a
wired connection for your computer. Except for your
computer, none of these are supported on the wireless
network. Also, bring all the cables you need for your
computer peripherals (printer, external hard drive,
monitor, etc.).
You must disable any peer-to-peer file sharing services
(e.g. Vuze, FrostWire, BitTorrent, Bearshare) and any
Internet connection sharing services on your computer
before arriving on campus.
Personal wireless access points, wireless routers,
and Airports are not permitted on campus; personal
wired routers are allowed as long as their wireless
capabilities are turned off.
Bring a USB cable to connect WiFi wireless printers,
which interfere with the AirOrangeX wireless network
and don’t work on campus. However, Bluetooth
wireless printers will work fine.
BE PREPARED JUST IN CASE …
Please be sure to bring to campus the administrative
password for each of your devices and all of
the original software—especially your Windows
or Apple operating system disks—as well as the
original disks and applicable license or key codes
for additional software you load on your computer.
These will be necessary for you, or any technician,
to reload your computer software should you have
a hard drive failure or other serious problem that
requires a software reinstallation. Be sure to keep
your device software in a safe place!
COMPUTER REQUIREMENTS
Computer recommendations from your school or
college can be found at its.syr.edu/computers.
Check them before making any decisions. If your
school or college says you can buy either Apple
or Windows, buy the one with which you are most
comfortable. Most standard software is available for
both platforms, but running a Windows operating
system on an Apple computer may add cost (i.e.,
Boot Camp).
CABLE TELEVISION
Standard cable TV service is provided in all SU
residential facilities. Optional premium services are
available at additional cost. You need to bring your
own television, a coaxial cable, and an Ethernet
cable if your TV is network-enabled (network-enabled

information and resources to assist you
Health Services
Located on campus at 111 Waverly Avenue,
Syracuse University Health Services (SUHS)
specializes in college health and serves the health
care needs of SU and SUNY ESF students. We
provide a wide array of confidential general medical
care, including health maintenance and women’s
health, urgent care needs, primary care mental
health, travel medicine, immunizations, and allergy
shots. We have onsite laboratory and pharmacy
facilities that can receive orders both from SUHS
staff and outside providers. SUHS also offers our
students ambulance services and limited medical
transportation to off-campus medical appointments
when needed (distance limitations apply).
To schedule an appointment, call 315-443-9005.
Should urgent health care needs arise after hours, an
on-call provider can be reached via the answering
service by phoning this same number. For medical
emergencies, dial 711 (from a campus phone) or
315-443-4299.
Hours during the academic year are:
Monday and Tuesday
8:30 a.m.–7 p.m.
Wednesday–Friday
8:30 a.m.–5 p.m.
Saturday
10 a.m.–4 p.m.
Summer and holiday hours vary and will be posted locally.
Immunization Requirements
Please be aware that Syracuse University is
obligated to enforce student immunization
requirements as defined by New York State public
health law, which requires all students to provide:
Proof of immunity to measles, mumps, and rubella
(which may be obtained by contacting your high
school or primary care physician) and a completed
response form related to meningococcal meningitis
vaccine.
The Health Form and Proof of Immunity/Meningitis
Response Form must be sent or faxed (315-4439010) to Health Services prior to a student’s arrival
on campus. Please refer to the Syracuse University
Health Service web site (health.syr.edu/students/
medical-services.html) for the forms and additional
information.
If these documents are not received prior to arrival,
students will risk strict administrative consequences,
including the inability to register for classes and/or
suspension of ID card services.
and medical expenses incurred outside of SUHS,
such as emergency room care and hospitalization.
If your health care coverage is provided by a
health maintenance organization or managed care
program, you should determine what coverage is
available while your student is outside the network.
Students should always carry their health insurance card when
seeking care and be familiar with how to access services
under their policy. For students who do not have
health insurance, a health insurance plan designed
specifically for our students is available through
SUHS. For more information about the plan, visit
our web site at health.syr.edu/students/medicalservices.html.

alma mater
Where the vale of Onondaga
Meets the eastern sky
Proudly stands our Alma Mater
On her hilltop high.
Flag we love, Orange,
Float for aye,
Old Syracuse o’er thee!
Loyal be thy sons and daughters
To thy memory.
When the evening twilight deepens
and the shadows fall,
Linger long the golden sunbeams
on the western wall.
Flag we love, Orange,
Float for aye,
Old Syracuse o’er thee!
Loyal be thy sons and daughters
To thy memory.
When the shades of life shall gather,
dark the heart may be,
Still the ray of youth and love shall
linger long o’er thee.
Flag we love, Orange,
Float for aye,
Old Syracuse o’er thee!
Loyal be thy sons and daughters
To thy memory.
