About the Division of Student Affairs
The Division of Student Affairs (DSA) at SUNY Oswego is comprised of departments that exist to support student success. The programs, services and initiatives offered by DSA staff members:
- Compliment and supplement the learning that students receive inside
the classroom,

The Division of Student Affairs staff members take pride in the personal attention and care they give to all students. They strive to collaborate with other SUNY Oswego colleagues so that all resources are employed to ensure that each matriculated student reaches Commencement, and after graduation, can thrive personally and in their chosen career.
Division of Student Affairs Learning Domains, 2022-2023
These learning domains were developed to reflect how the Division of Student Affairs can best support SUNY Oswego learning aims, (SUNY General Education Goals, SUNY Oswego Strategic Priorities, etc.), and provide students with opportunities to learn outside of the classroom.
1. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Students will have opportunities to learn about diverse identities and systemic privileges, identify their biases and the impact of these on others, engage across differences, gain an understanding of others’ perspectives and experiences, learn to advocate for themselves, and to create inclusive and affirming communities.
2. Well-being
Students will have opportunities to understand the concepts of well-being while developing skills and strategies that enhance their own physical, behavioral, social, and emotional health. Well-being is the optimal state of living well and thriving. Well-being focuses on the holistic and purposeful growth of the total person and their surrounding community to create lifelong thriving community members.
3. Self-Efficacy
Students will have opportunities to increase their self-efficacy, the belief that through their own actions they can and will succeed in the pursuit of their goals. With high self-efficacy, students are able to embrace adversity as opportunity, generate innovative solutions to challenges, set meaningful goals, and establish firm belief in their own potential and capacity to achieve their aspirations.
4. Leadership Development
Students will have opportunities to explore the meaning of leadership as a process for developing individual and organizational capacities to affect impactful change within their communities. Leadership on campus is defined as purposeful, inclusive, ethical, and process-oriented practices.
5. Community Engagement
Students will have opportunities to explore their own values and how they can contribute to healthy and positive communities by examining the common good vs. individual wants or desires, understanding and adhering to community standards, and developing pride in the community. Students will have opportunities to be engaged as active community members who understand that their actions or inactions have an impact on those around them.

Student Conduct is part of the institution’s programs designed to be community-focused, learning-centered, and procedurally sound and does not function like the separate legal or judicial processes on the municipal, state, and federal levels. By promoting academic and personal development, Student Conduct:
- Encourage a variety of viewpoints, to engage in discussion, exchange thoughts and opinions, and to speak or write in ways that does not prohibit their right to Freedom of Expression or speech.

RESIDENCE LIFE AND HOUSING

^Top |
303 Culkin Hall • 315-312-2246
reslife@oswego.edu
www.oswego.edu/residence-life-and-housing/
On-campus living is an integral part of the Oswego experience. Living in residence halls engages students in the educational environment, facilitating the development of friendships and involvement in campus activities. It also
requires students to regularly interact with others, and offers leadership and employment opportunities.
The ten residence halls and the Village Townhouses are supervised by live-in professional and student staff, and accommodate approximately 3,500 students. More in-depth information about the residence halls and our
Residence Life & Housing program can be found on the webpage.
University Housing Policy
SUNY Oswego believes, based on our own and national research, that living in the residence halls:
● provides students with crucial connections to campus resources,
● supports their successful transition to college, and
● allows students to find important engagement opportunities that are both fun, but also supplement the learning that occurs in the classroom.
Therefore, all full-time undergraduate students are required to live on campus, as directed by the University Housing Policy.
Based on space availability, students who fulfill specific criteria will be considered as having fulfilled the University Housing Policy and would not be required to live in University Housing beyond the term of any active housing license; these students are those who, as determined in the Admissions process, first enrolled at SUNY Oswego as:
● a first year student and have lived in residence at SUNY Oswego for four consecutive semesters (Fall and Spring) if admitted in the Fall or three semesters if admitted in the Spring.
-OR-
● a transfer student and have lived in residence at SUNY Oswego for two consecutive semesters (Fall and Spring) if admitted in the Fall or one semester if admitted in the Spring.
Recipients of the SUNY Oswego merit scholarship(s) are required to live on campus. Students who move off campus will forfeit their scholarship.
Students are typically exempted from the housing policy when they provide evidence that they:
● Will continue to reside with their parent(s) or legal guardian(s) within 30 miles of campus (please note, leasing locally will not qualify a student for an exemption);
● Will continue to reside in their official residence within 30 miles of campus, which is separate from that of their parent(s) or legal guardian(s), and at which they had resided for at least three consecutive months prior to their acceptance of the admissions offer from the University;
● Are married; or
● Are twenty-one (21) years of age as of September 1 for fall admission or January 1 for spring admission.
We recognize that not all students who meet these criteria wish to be exempted and many choose to live in SUNY Oswego residence halls.
Therefore, students seeking an exemption must formally request one by completing an online form at myhousing.oswego.edu after paying their SUNY Oswego deposit, (Laker credentials are required to login and may take 48
hours to become active after the deposit is paid).
Room Assignments
New students can login to myhousing.oswego.edu and complete their New Student Housing Application and make their roommate requests within 48 hours of paying their SUNY Oswego admissions deposit.
New Students who have completed the housing application will be randomly assigned to a residence hall aligned with their student status (first year or upper-division transfer). New Students requesting a living learning community will be assigned to the designated community as space is available.
Residence Life and Housing will attempt to honor roommate requests when all students involved have requested each other before any of the involved students have been assigned to a room. The University will assign roommates for students who do not submit specific roommate requests.

All vehicles parked on the SUNY Oswego campus must have a parking permit 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, whether you are attending night or weekend classes or part-time. The SUNY Oswego Parking Services is responsible for the administration and registration of the college parking regulations. All students who wish to park automobiles that are owned by them or a family member are granted permission to use campus parking areas provided their automobiles are properly registered during the fall, spring and summer registration periods and the vehicle registration and parking fee has been paid. Students are responsible for all fees and fines associated with their account regardless of who was driving the vehicle at the time of the issuance of any citation. Upon payment of the fees for registration and parking, a parking sticker is issued authorizing parking in designated campus lots. A student failing to comply with parking regulations may be ticketed or denied the privilege of using College parking facilities. Appeals can be requested via the web site or in person at the Parking Office. Appeals for parking citations must be requested within 5 days of issuance of the citation.
All parking obligations are the responsibility of the vehicle owner and must be paid in full. Parking fines that remain unpaid after 10 days will be transferred to the Student Accounts Office.

|
^Top |
The Student Right to Know and Campus Security Act was signed into law in November 1990. Title II of this Act is known as the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act. Further Amendments to the original law in 1998 included the renaming of the law to the Jeanne Clery Act.
The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Statistics Act requires all colleges and universities receiving federal financial assistance to report their crime statistics for the current year and the past two years. Specific crime categories, including alcohol, drug and weapons incidents must be duly reported in a prescribed manner to the Department of Education and the campus community annually by October 1st. You may access SUNY Oswego campus crime statistics at the University Police website. In addition, you may also access national campus crime statistics at the US Department of Education, Office of Postsecondary Education.
In addition, campus law enforcement policies, reporting protocols, prevention education programs and referral services must be included in this annual report in addition to campus crime statistics and other mandatory information which will accurately describe the nature and frequency of the occurrence of crime on that campus. Since 2010, annual fire statistics, fire safety prevention programs and college policies regarding fire safety are also included in this report.
The crime and referral statistics gathered for SUNY Oswego’s Annual Fire and Security Report is based on information obtained from the following offices: University Police, Student Conduct, Residence Life and Housing, Environmental Health and Safety, and Student Affairs. Information regarding crimes on adjacent streets and roadways was collected with the cooperation of the Oswego City Police and Oswego County Sheriff ‘s Department. For further information on this data collection, please call the Chief of University Police at 315-312-5555.
The University Police Department is in continuous discussions with the City of Oswego Police Department and the Oswego County Sheriff’s Department to enable the college to track incidents at the college’s satellite locations. The University Police Department monitors activities at SUNY Oswego’s Syracuse Campus and various other international and national sites where temporary classes are held. Time, number and locations of these sites vary each semester.
The Clery report is compiled by the University Police Department (315-312-5555), the Office of Student Conduct (315-312-3378), and the Environmental Health and Safety Department (315-312-3150).
