Contact

If you have questions regarding the Move-In Registration process, please email New Student Programs or call 315.443.9187. If you are having technical issues with this process, please email Housing, Meal Plan, and I.D. Card Services or call 315.443.2721.

For students moving in during our traditional move-in, you can learn about your Arrival Pass on the Arriving webpage.

Living On-Campus

As a required task, new students are asked to first apply for housing. Find complete instructions, including the deadline, on the Required Tasks webpage.

Housing, Meal Plan, and I.D. Card Services will notify students of their housing assignment and roommate around mid-July through their Syracuse email address (i.e. @syr.edu). Move-In Registration details are included in that email.

  • Assignments reflect a random placement into one of 16 residential facilities on both North and South Campus.
  • All new first-year students are placed on North Campus while new transfer students are traditionally placed into the transfer student community within the South Campus Skyhalls.
  • Please understand that the University will not grant room changes for any reason prior to your on-campus arrival. Collectively as a University, we believe that the residential college experience is about learning new things and meeting/living with people who are different from you. We think that you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the connections that you can make when you step outside of your comfort zone.

Students are strongly encouraged to contact their roommate to become acquainted and begin a discussion on sharing a room. Students will have some important things to discuss and consider as they begin a new roommate relationship. Once settled into their room, students will have follow-up discussions and complete a roommate agreement, administered through Student Living. We realize that sharing a living space with someone new can create anxiety and stress for some, but we’re hopeful that students will be able to connect with new roommates prior to coming to campus and get to know one another.

Residence Hall Details

Visit the New Student Checklists webpage for a packing checklist and more.

Once you receive your housing and roommate assignment, it is recommended that you explore building floor plans. All student rooms are furnished with a bed (extra-long twin 36”x80”), dresser, desk, desk chair and closet or wardrobe for each student.
