Dear ESF Students,

I hope this email finds you well and ready to return for your spring semester in a couple of weeks. Thank you for your patience as we navigate the guidance from SUNY and the New York State Department of Health for a safe return to campus.

I’m writing tonight with instructions on how to verify your vaccination and booster status and to provide return-to-campus testing information. Please read this full message before you begin your verification process.

COVID and Flu Verification:

Regardless of your current vaccination or booster status, all students must use the link below to answer questions about their status and to upload information.

Before you begin, make sure you have these things on-hand:

• Your SU ID number (this is the first nine digits on your ESF student ID card – no dashes)
• The email address of a parent/guardian/family you would like to receive College-wide COVID and other important updates
• Date(s) of your COVID-19 vaccination and, if applicable, booster shot
• An electronic copy of your COVID-19 vaccination card
• Date of your flu vaccination, and if available, documentation from receiving your flu vaccination

For security purposes, you must complete verification using your ESF.edu credentials (not your SYR.edu).

To complete the submission form, please copy the link below into a private browsing window (New Private, InPrivate, or Incognito window depending on the Web browser being used). This will assure that you can use your ESFiD username and password (required) to log in.

Student Vaccination Mid-Year Questionnaire

For improved security, ESF's DUO Multi-Factor Authentication is required. If you have not set it up yet, instructions for doing so are available here:  https://it.esf.edu/Account-Info/DUO. If you need assistance logging in, please contact the ESF Help Desk (helpdesk@esf.edu | 315-470-6861 |https://it.esf.edu).

Return-to-Campus Testing:

All students are required to be tested at the Syracuse University Testing Center within 72 hours of their return to campus. No pre-arrival testing is required. All tests must be conducted at Syracuse University; at-home tests and tests received elsewhere will not be accepted to meet this requirement.

Following, you will find the links to important documents I encourage you to read carefully. Both documents cover return-to-campus requirements in detail: Spring 2022 Guidance Document and Return to Campus FAQs.

Please review these documents for answers to your questions first and, if you still need assistance, contact the Division of Student Affairs, 315-470-6660,studenthelp@esf.edu.

We are excited to welcome you back to campus soon!

Regards,

Dean Lombard
