Dear Syracuse University Student:

To the classes of 2024 and 2025, we are excited to welcome you to the Syracuse University campus this fall. To all other students, we are looking forward to seeing you again soon after a challenging year.

We appreciate your patience as the University has responded to rapidly changing circumstances. These include both pandemic conditions and the rate of visa approval. We are writing today to tell you what you need to know and what you need to do now to ensure that you have a successful 2021-22 academic year.

What You Need to Know:
Positive tests for COVID-19 on campus are rare. The University has seen very few positive cases as vaccination has become widespread. All students, faculty and staff are required to be vaccinated unless they have a medical or religious exemption. The Syracuse University Public Health Team has relaxed many virus-related restrictions on campus. We are confident that the 2021-22 academic year will provide a normal, vibrant on-campus experience.

All Syracuse University students are expected to study at Syracuse University’s main campus in New York. Coming to campus will allow you to accommodate all your interests and enable you to complete internships and be involved in campus organizations. Your learning and outcomes will be better with in-person attendance.

Exceptions can be made only for students who have already enrolled in a Syracuse-approved study abroad option outside of China, are unable to obtain a visa to study in the United States or can’t travel to Syracuse for reasons beyond their control.

Very limited options are open to first- and second-year students in mainland China who cannot travel to the United States because they are unable to obtain a visa or for other reasons beyond their control. If you are able to obtain a visa to study in the United States, you should do so. Program details and availability depend on enrollment numbers and are subject to change based on public health guidance issued by officials in China. For more information about these options, please contact SUAbroad@syr.edu.

What You Need to Do Now:

• Apply for your visa as soon as possible.
• Once you have obtained a visa, contact your advisor and register for classes.
• Obtain a housing assignment or make arrangements for off-campus housing (if you are a third- or fourth-year student eligible to live off-campus).
• Upload proof of vaccination to the Student Patient Portal. Visit the Stay Safe website for the latest vaccine guidance for international students.

If you have any questions, please connect with the following Syracuse University offices:

• Immigration status, visas and I-20s—international@syr.edu
• Application process and program options for enrollment options in China—SUAbroad@syr.edu
• Academic plan and progress—your home school or college advisor

The University will also conduct an informational webinar for international students and parents on Thursday, May 27, from 9 to 10 a.m. EDT. A panel of University staff will be available to answer questions. Please see information below:

亲爱的雪城大学学生:

2024年和2025年的毕业生们，我们非常高兴地欢迎你们今年秋天来到雪城大学校园。对所有其他学生，我们期待着在充满挑战的一年之后很快再次见到你们。

我们感谢你的耐心，因为大学对迅速变化的环境作出了反应。这包括大流行情况和签证批准率。为了确保你在2021-22学年取得成功，我们今天写信告诉你需要知道什么，以及你现在需要做些什么。

你需要知道的:
校园内COVID-19阳性检测罕见。随着疫苗接种的普及，该大学很少出现阳性病例。所有学生、教职员工都必须接种疫苗，除非他们有医疗或宗教豁免。雪城大学公共卫生小组已经放宽了校园内许多与病毒有关的限制。我们相信2021-22学年将提供一个正常的，充满活力的校园体验。

所有雪城大学的学生都将在雪城大学位于纽约的主校区学习。来到校园会让你适应你所有的兴趣，使你能够完成实习和参与校园组织。如果你亲自出席，你的学习和成果会更好。

只有已经在雪城大学批准的中国境外留学选项中注册的学生，无法获得美国留学签证的学生，或因超出自己控制的原因不能前往雪城大学的学生，才可以例外。

中国大陆的一年级和二年级学生因为无法获得签证或其他超出他们控制范围的原因而不能前往美国，他们的选择非常有限。如果你能够获得在美国学习的签证，你应该这样做。项目的细节和可用性取决于登记人数，并会根据中国官员发布的公共卫生指导意见而有所改变。有关这些选项的更多信息，请联系 SUAbroad@syr.edu.

你现在需要做的是:

• 尽快去申请签证。
• 一旦你获得了签证，联系你的导师并注册课程。
•  获得房屋转让或者安排校外住宿(如果你是有资格住在校外的三年级或四年级学生)。
• 将疫苗接种证明上载至 学生病人门户． 请访问“保持安全”网站获取最新消息 疫苗的指导国际学生。

如果您有任何问题，请与雪城大学以下办公室联系:

• 移民身份，签证和i -20 -international@syr.edu
• 申请程序和项目选择在中国注册选项-SUAbroad@syr.edu
• 学习计划和进步——你的家庭学校或大学导师

学校还将在5月27日(周四)上午9点到10点为国际学生和家长举办一个信息网络研讨会。大学的一组工作人员将会回答问题。请参阅以下资料:
