This past November, New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo announced that much of Monroe County—including all of the University’s campuses, with the exception of the Laboratory for Laser Energetics and other properties south of East River Road—was in an Orange Zone, which is a set of New York State precautionary restrictions aimed at reducing the spread COVID-19. As the spring semester begins, many of these Orange Zone restrictions remain, with the exception of dining, which includes a little more flexibility with regard to the options available to students.

All outstanding financial aid documents for the spring 2021 semester are due by Friday, February 5. Students can review the list of their spring 2021 requirements by logging into their FAOnline account, selecting the 2020–21 academic year from the dropdown, and visiting the “Required Documents” page. If a student’s required documents have not been received after February 5, any financial aid that has not been disbursed will be removed from their account until the Financial Aid Office has received the outstanding documents. Students are encouraged to contact their financial aid counselor if they have any questions about what they need to submit.
