FAMILY
WELCOME TO ESF!
Welcome to the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry. As you participate in the Orientation
program this week, you will discover an incredible range of resources and opportunities open to you on both the
ESF and Syracuse University campuses, all intended to make your collegiate experience more rewarding.
Learning at ESF does not stop at the classroom door or even the campus boundaries. ESF is embedded in the
Syracuse community and engaged in partnerships and projects across the nation and around the globe:
volunteer in the community, join clubs and student organizations, or become part of a research team.
Our goal is to educate and inspire the next generation of environmental and sustainability leaders while
tackling the most urgent and complex challenges facing science and society. From fundamental exploration of
the biosphere to use-inspired research to solve a currently intractable problem, you will find ESF faculty, staff,
and students constantly pushing the boundaries and refusing to accept limitations of the past. You will receive
an excellent education from a world-class institution and be challenged to imagine what your future and that of
our planet can be.
This remarkable institution is the result of a unique combination of history, tradition, curiosity, innovation,
excellence, and, above all, faculty, staff, and students of uncommon vision and courage of purpose. Like all
great institutions, ESF is constantly adapting and evolving with the fresh imagination and enthusiasm of each
entering class and the shifting landscape of societal needs and scientific challenges. We are delighted that you
have chosen to join ESF and wish you every success in achieving your dreams and ambitions.

Academic Advising
The relationship between advisor and student is one of shared responsibility. The role of your advisor is to
assist you with educational choices and to help assess your progress toward meeting degree requirements.
Ultimately, however, the student is responsible for making sure that all degree requirements are met.

advising sessions and take action where appropriate
(file the form; make the call; schedule the
appointment, etc.).
Initiate contact with your advisor and be prepared
for advising sessions – make a list of questions or
concerns, and plan a tentative course schedule. Take
the time to write down questions you want to clarify.
Accessibility
SUNY-ESF works with the Office of Disability Services (ODS) at Syracuse University, which is responsible for
coordinating disability-related accommodations. Students may contact ODS at 804 University Avenue- Room
309, (315) 443-4498 to schedule an appointment and discuss their needs and the process for requesting
accommodations. Students may also contact the ESF Division of Student Affairs, 110 Bray Hall, (315) 4706660 for assistance with the process. Since accommodations may require early planning and are not
provided retroactively, please contact ODS as soon as possible.

Managing Absences
Students may find themselves missing classes for a variety of reasons; however ESF does not have an
excused absence policy. Students are expected to adhere to the attendance policy set by each instructor
and stated within each course syllabus. Students who are absent for non-emergency situations are
encouraged to directly contact their instructors as soon as possible regarding any absence (examples of nonemergency situations are one-day absences, doctor’s appointments, pre-planned travel, etc.). When
possible, students finding it necessary to be absent from class should make arrangements with their
instructors prior to being absent.



The student is responsible for contacting each faculty member in a timely manner to discuss any late
assignments/missed work. There is no College policy related to missed work; this decision belongs
to the faculty member. If granted extensions/make-ups/incompletes, it is the responsibility of the
student to complete the work in the agreed upon timeframe.
If a faculty member requires verification of an absence, students should be prepared to provide
documentation to their faculty when they return. The Division of Student Affairs will not provide
verification or proof of legitimacy for a non-emergency absence.
Students can contact the Division of Student Affairs upon return to campus to review any additional
resources that may be needed to assist in the transition back to campus.
When a student is absent for a period of time (generally consecutive days) due to hospitalization,
emergency, or other critical incident, the Division of Student Affairs can assist in these instances to coordinate
notification to instructors. Some emergency or critical incidents may necessitate the Division of Student Affairs
coordinating communication on behalf of the student and instructors until a time when the student is able to
resume these activities themselves.

INTRODUCTION TO STUDENT LIFE
______________________________
There are a wide variety of resources, programs, and opportunities available to
ESF students outside of the classroom. Engagement in activities that take place
outside of the classroom can add a great deal to your education and your development as a person. You
can make a positive contribution to the community through volunteer service and student leadership. Whether
you eventually work for yourself or someone else, your organizational, communication, and management
skills combined with your academic achievements will give you a distinct edge. You can gain new skills or
fine-tune those you already have through becoming involved in student organizations and activities.
Many of the major events and programs at ESF are planned and managed by students. Conducting campus
tours, assisting new students during Orientation, planning the annual awards banquets, or hosting families
and alumni during the fall barbecue are all ways in which you can become involved. You will have the
opportunity to gain new skills, manage finances, expand your knowledge about a particular topic, contribute
to and improve campus life and, most importantly, have a good time doing it!
The spice and variety of your out-of-class experience depends on your involvement. Define your role … GET
INVOLVED ON CAMPUS. EXPLORE, ENGAGE, EXCEL!
DIVISION OF STUDENT AFFAIRS
ESF Athletics
Team sports at ESF began in 1912 with the College’s
first student group, the Woodsmen Team (previously
named Forestry Club). Today, in addition to the
Woodsmen Team, ESF has competitive teams in soccer,
men’s basketball, golf, cross country, and track and
field. The varsity teams at ESF are members of the
USCAA (see www.theuscaa.com ) All of these teams
have provided ESF students the chance to compete at
the college level. We strongly encourage students to
come out to home events and cheer on the Mighty
Oaks!
www.esfathletics.com
In addition, our unique relationship with Syracuse University allows ESF students to participate in a variety of
club sports, intramural sports, and off-campus trips throughout the year.

Career Services
The Career Services Office is here to help you accomplish your career goals. From day one, they can help
you develop your future plans for jobs, internships and more. Today services are comprised of resume
reviews, career counseling appointments, assistance with internship/employment searches, connecting with
alumni, how to build your network, and more.
15
As soon as you arrive on campus, you are welcome to
meet with a staff member to help determine your
career plan. Throughout the year you will see the
Career Services staff putting on presentations, and
workshops, as well as other annual events including the
Graduate and Professional School Fair, Internship and
Engagement Expo, and the annual Environmental
Career Fair.
Every Monday you will receive the ESF Career Services
newsletter that highlights featured internships, tips,
advice, resources, and events on campus. They can also
help you become familiar with the job and internship
board site we share with Syracuse University,
OrangeLink. The sooner you visit Career Services, the sooner they can help you find your dream internship or
job. Begin learning about Career Services on their website or visit us to make an appointment to learn more
about how we can help you.

Community Service
Volunteering to improve the quality of life locally, nationally and globally is an invaluable way to develop
your skills, take on greater responsibility, meet new people, and gain perspective into the diverse nature of
our world. Currently with over 160 community partnerships and growing, ESF is continuously collaborating
with community organizations. Numerous community engagement opportunities are available in the Syracuse
community and beyond.
ESF Coordinator also facilitates community service opportunities. Each semester ESF hosts a Campus Day of
Service, along with several additional opportunities that are made public to students via e-mail.
www.esf.edu/students/service
Counseling Services
ESF is now offering on-campus mental health counseling services to all students. The Counseling Services staff can
help with adjusting to college, relationship issues, stress, depression, and other issues you may have. They are
located in 105 Bray Hall (next to Student Affairs). Call, email, or drop in to make an appointment.
ESF Counseling Services also provides outreach programming to the student body throughout the academic year.
These events range from alcohol awareness activities and events to Resiliency and Stress Less Week during
midterms to the Clothesline Project and Denim Day. Look for their programming happening in the Gateway
Center.
www.esf.edu/counseling
Collegiate Science and Technology Entry Program (CSTEP)
16
CSTEP is an enrichment program designed to foster the academic success of students from traditionally
underrepresented groups and/or who are financially disadvantaged. Students in this program receive
coaching, enrichment activities, faculty mentoring, skill development, internship/research opportunities,
graduate school/career preparation, and career development.
www.esf.edu/students/cstep
Student Conduct
The College of Environmental Science and Forestry is an institution of higher learning where growth and
development are fostered, excellence is pursued, and the highest standards of integrity are expected in all areas
of life. The College is committed to providing a safe and secure environment where the individual rights of all
persons are respected and the highest quality education is provided to all students.
ESF’s Code of Student Conduct outlines the behavior that is expected of all students at the College. The College
considers this code to be the minimum expectations and seeks to foster a commitment to the highest standards of
ethical behavior by the coherent, consistent, and fair manner in which it enforces its rules and regulations. As a
condition of enrollment, all students are required to review the ESF Code of Student Conduct and sign a statement
acknowledging that they have read and understand the provisions of the Code.
Violations of the ESF Code of Student Conduct will be handled through the College’s student conduct process, which
is designed to reflect and support the educational mission of the College and to ensure the fair and equitable
treatment of all individuals charged with or victimized by student misconduct. This process is a learning experience
which is intended to result in the growth and personal understanding of individual responsibilities by all parties.
Student Diversity and Inclusion
The Student Diversity and Inclusion Office exists to support underrepresented students and to foster a
campus community where cultural diversity is valued and appreciated. The programs and supports aim to
prepare all members of the ESF community to effectively interact with others in an increasingly diverse and
global society. To learn more about the services and affinity groups students can engage with, visit their
website.
www.esf.edu/students/di
Additionally, ESF students can also connect with the Syracuse
University Office of Multicultural Affairs and the LGBT
Resource Center to get the latest information about upcoming
events at SU that ESF students can access.
lgbt.syr.edu
multicultural.syr.edu
Student Involvement and Leadership
Your ESF and Syracuse University student activity fees support a
variety of student organizations and programs. At ESF, the
17
undergraduate activity fee is administered by the Undergraduate Student Association (USA). Clubs that
receive student activity fee monies must be open to all students. At SU, the Student Association is the
undergraduate representative body.
During your first year at ESF, you should make it a priority to attend at least one USA meeting, an
Insomniacs event, join at least one club, tie-dye one of your ESF shirts, participate in an Eco-Rep program,
and check out Earth Week. There is so much more to do than that at ESF but it will give you a nice snapshot
of the traditional events and programs we have at ESF. Do not forget to check out all the events that are
going on across the street at SU, too!
ESF offers clubs ranging from Green Campus Initiative, which focuses on making the campus and community
a greener and more sustainable campus, to Primitive Pursuits, which teaches ancient living skills. The full list
of the 32 student organizations ESF has to offer is listed in the Student Planner you received at Orientation
check-in. You can also view all of the organizations and find up-to-date meeting times online.
www.esf.edu/students/involvement/clubs.htm.
Student Support
Sometimes through the course of a student's experience, issues arise, and it would benefit the student to talk
about those concerns with a staff member and explore options and resources that may be of assistance. The
Division of Student Affairs assists students and their families in managing crises and other barriers that
impact success such as physical health, emotional well-being, and social adjustment. We are also a point of
contact if you are unsure where to direct your concern or to seek assistance from.
www.esf.edu/students/support/
HEALTH CARE
ESF has changed the way students receive health and counseling services, and ESF students no longer have access
to these services through Syracuse University. ESF will provide mental health counseling on campus in a newly
established Counseling Services Office. Counseling Services is located in 105 Bray Hall, next to the Division of
Student Affairs offices. ESF will not provide health services on campus. There are several medical providers
available to students within an easy walk of the Syracuse campus. The College has developed an agreement with
Crouse Medical Practice to provide health care and pharmacy services to ESF students who opt to use their
services. All ESF students are required to have health insurance coverage beginning this fall. This is a requirement
at most colleges and universities nationally (including Syracuse University) and is meant to ensure that college
students are able to access off-campus health care services when needed, and that our students have access to an
affordable, cost-effective private insurance plan with benefits that have been carefully reviewed and approved
by the College.
