Definitions

  • Campus - Any space, facility, property, grounds or building that is owned, leased, licensed or operated by SUNY ESF.  This Policy applies to Centennial Hall, and this facility is to be included in this definition of Campus; provided, however, that this does not preclude Centennial Hall from adopting additional policies not inconsistent with this item.

Policy Details

    1. Identification cards are provided for appropriate identification use and access to some buildings, services and transportation.
    2. All individuals participating in protests and demonstrations are required to provide a form of identification issued by SUNY ESF (including identification cards issued by Syracuse University) or government-issued identification, or facsimile thereof, upon request from a SUNY ESF official.
    3. The identification card (or facsimile) must be presented upon request of a duly authorized SUNY ESF official, including but not limited to residence hall staff, University Police, Student Affairs staff, and students, contractors, or other staff authorized by SUNY ESF to supervise campus events, activities, and residence halls.
    4. Individuals may be required to reveal their faces to confirm identity when needed to maintain campus safety or security. Upon request, students must show all identifying information shown on the card and/or surrender the card to the requesting official.
    5. Intentional refusal to present a student identification card (or facsimile) upon request by a SUNY ESF official; alteration or falsification of data on an identification card; creation and/or distribution of falsified identification cards; using an identification card to impersonate others; or refusal to reveal one’s face to confirm identity; are violations of this policy and may result in disciplinary action.
    6. It is the student’s responsibility to replace the identification card if it is confiscated, stolen, lost, bent, broken, or worn beyond the point of readability by College officials and/or card readers used by the SUNY ESF or Syracuse University (where applicable).
