Campus Safety Committee
The SUNY Potsdam Safety Committee was established as an advisory to the university president to address a wide range of campus concerns which contribute to maintaining an overall safe environment conducive to living and working together. The committee's charge includes:
Building Use Policies And Procedures
This SUNY Potsdam Facility Use Policy is to be interpreted and applied in accordance with the Mission of SUNY Potsdam. Campus buildings are college community facilities. In determining space availability, priority will be given to the needs of academic programs. No campus building is intended for the sole use of the occupants of that building.
Responding to Government Officials
SUNY Potsdam is committed to the free exchange of ideas between people of different social and political systems. It is the policy of the College to encourage such interaction. The College neither requires its employees to answer questions posed by representatives of government agencies nor forbids its staff from responding to such inquiries.
Office 365
SUNY Potsdam uses Microsoft Office 365 as our standard calendar, email, and collaboration solution. A full suite of on-line tools is available by visiting: https://portal.office.com Applications are available for macOS and Windows, however we recommend using the web portal for a more consistent and feature rich experience.
Law Enforcement Training Institute
The SUNY Potsdam Law Enforcement Training Institute is a landmark applied learning initiative, designed to provide students with the opportunity to complete a rigorous pre-employment, state-approved police training course as part of their undergraduate curriculum.
A Framework for Fiscal Health
SUNY Potsdam is paving a path to a strong future. We must adapt and evolve to meet the challenges of today and prepare our students for tomorrow. Together, we can ensure a strong and resilient future for SUNY Potsdam. Following months of study, SUNY Potsdam has announced a financial stability plan, which will allow the College to address its structural deficit and rebuild for the future.
