Transportation, Housing Accommodations During Breaks & Basic Needs

Transportation 

Starting Fall 2021, the Clinical Practice and Partnerships Office will work closely with the Financial Aid Office and Student Accounts Office to have an estimated travel expense included as part of the cost of attendance for all students who are completing a clinical experience or applied learning experience. Please make sure you keep your address updated with the Clinical Practice and Partnerships Office at cppoffice@oswego.edu.    

Having trouble finding transportation to your experience? 

Have you researched the following solutions?

• Centro Bus Routes
• OCO Bus Routes
• Lyft
• Uber
• Carpooling with other teacher candidates going to the same area

Please keep in mind that it is your responsibility as the teacher candidate to arrange for transportation to your placement. 

Housing Accommodations during Breaks

For candidates who live on campus and need accommodations during the breaks, please visit the Residence Life and Housing website to find and complete the appropriate application and to learn of deadlines. Please complete the application during the timeframe and indicate in the application the reason for housing-- to be for you to complete your clinical experiences. Please also note that while there is no application or housing fee, there is a daily fee for meal plans during the winter break. Should you have additional questions, please get in touch with Residence Life and/or Dining Services. You can also contact our office (Clinical Practice and Partnerships Office) if you have any issues with the approval.
