Automatic Email Forwarding Ends in March 2025
As part of the University’s ongoing efforts to maintain and secure our email services, the ability to automatically redirect emails from University accounts will end in March 2025. At that time, any redirect rules set up in a mailbox will be deleted, and emails sent to an @syr.edu address will no longer be automatically forwarded to other email accounts. If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact the ITS Helpdesk at help@syr.edu or 315.443.2677.
Use WAVE to Check Web Accessibility
Are you building a webpage or online form? Use the WAVE evaluation tool to check for accessibility. WAVE quickly scans web content and identifies many barriers to persons with disabilities. Learn More.
Watch the Big Game on SpectrumU
Do you need a way to watch the game this Sunday? Do you just need a break from studying? Students living in residence halls have access to the SpectrumU app, which streams live TV. Learn More.
You Are Here: Digital Maps
Be sure to check out maps.syracuse.edu, where you can sort by a range of location types (buildings, parking, dining, etc.). You can choose “Show Only Accessible Routes” on the Directions tab.
Service Center and MakerSpace Relocate
Last month, the ITS MakerSpace and Service Center moved to new locations. The MakerSpace is now located in the Marshall Square Mall. The ITS Service Center has moved to the Women’s Building lobby.
