For students remaining in Syracuse over Thanksgiving break (Nov. 18-26), we’ve compiled relevant information from campus partners about the hours of operation for certain student services on campus. Read on to learn more, and while you’re here, check out our companion guide of local food options and activities available across the larger Central New York community.

Transportation

Parking and Transportation Services has announced reduced campus shuttle schedules during the Thanksgiving break period. Safety escort services are available from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. from Nov. 18-26 via the Orange Safe app.

Buses will run from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 17, with pickup from Goldstein Student Center (South Campus), College Place and the Brewster/Boland/Brockway Complex.
