- For students facing an unexpected hardship or an emergency, please email deanofstudents@oswego.edu
- The Associate Dean of Students or another member of the office will then arrange to speak with the student and obtain more information.
- The Dean of Students Office works with the College Foundation to disburse funds and students receive funding within one or two days of the approved request.
Amounts given to students are limited, thus multiple requests may not be approved. The Dean of Students Office will urge students to work with the Financial Aid Office to work on other funding options to meet long term needs.
Emergency fund amounts given to students do not impact Financial Aid packages or other funding given to the student by SUNY Oswego.
