Policy Statement

In keeping with its continued commitment to providing a quality educational experience in a welcoming environment, Syracuse University extends same-sex domestic partner benefits to full-time students.

Same-sex domestic partner benefits offer full-time students the opportunity to access benefits for their same-sex domestic partner similar to those currently available to a student's spouse, including:

• University identification cards, which are required to gain access to campus services such as the library, recreational facilities, and computing resources, and;

• University housing.

To apply for these benefits, a Student Affirmation of Same-Sex Domestic Partnership form must be completed through the Dean of Students Office. Specific documentation of the domestic partnership required for this application will be kept strictly confidential.
