SUNY Cortland will welcome prospective students and their families to campus on a limited scale during the winter break.
Tours will be led by representatives from the Admissions Office or the Athletics Department and they will take place mostly outside, passing through the first floor of Moffett Center, the lobby of the Student Life Center and athletic facilities in Park Center and the Stadium Complex.
Safety measures from fall semester tours will continue:
- Guests must complete a COVID-19 self-screening prior to their visit.
- Staff members and visitors are required to wear a face covering on campus, including outdoors, while maintaining proper physical distancing.
- Tour group sizes will not exceed six people, including staff members.
Small group tours will take place through Wednesday, Jan. 27, followed by a pause from Jan. 28 to Feb. 11 in order to monitor the results of early semester COVID-19 testing. The university’s Admissions Office offered small group tours during the fall semester before in-person activities were paused on campus.
An email to SUNY Cortland employees from Mark Yacavone ’94, assistant vice president for enrollment management, emphasized safety.
“The pandemic continues to change the way that we work, including how our future Red Dragons will see campus before making their college decision,” Yacavone wrote. “Please know that we will host prospective students during the winter break in ways that are informative, effective and safe.”
