Room and Board License and Residence Hall Policies 2021-2022 State University of New York College at Cortland Room and Board License and Residence Hall Policies 2021-2022 P a g e | 2 State University of New York College at Cortland- Room and Board License 2021-2022 SUNY Cortland has a strong commitment to a quality residential experience. Residence Life and Housing is responsible for providing a safe, secure, well-maintained environment where students can learn, develop and flourish. The residence hall environment must support students as they pursue their academic program while also allowing students an environment in which to relax and socialize. The residence hall staffing pattern, which includes live-in professionals as well as student staff, has been established to facilitate this kind of balance. It is the staff's responsibility to understand the College’s expectations, to know their students, to be aware of campus resources and to develop programs which complement, support, and enhance the classroom experience. P a g e | 3 State University of New York College at Cortland- Room and Board License 2021-2022 COVID-19 Protocols 2021-2022 SUNY Cortland’s outstanding educational experience is anchored by in-person instruction, close and persistent contact among students, faculty and staff, and a residential campus that successfully promotes student engagement in co-curricular and extracurricular programs. The procedures and policies in this guidance prioritize the in-person campus experience our students and community value. We expect that the SUNY Cortland campus community will largely be one of vaccinated individuals. The state of New York has announced that students at SUNY colleges and universities will be required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Following final FDA approval of the Pfizer vaccine on Aug. 23, all SUNY Cortland students enrolled for the Fall 2021 semester must be vaccinated against COVID-19. In addition, SUNY Cortland has adopted local campus regulations requiring vaccinations of all students to access residence halls and certain other programs and services effective Aug. 26, 2021, without regard to full FDA approval.
