CHECK inbox for the PDF copy of your submission (it is sent to the email address you input on your SAF).
FORWARD this PDF - or take a printed copy - to your academic advisor(s).
CONSULT with your advisor(s) to ensure your course plan will keep you on track for graduation.
Syracuse Abroad Program Advisors are not able to advise on your degree progress or sign your SAF.
Your advisor may need descriptions or syllabi of the courses you want to have approved. You can access sample syllabi on the Blackboard site.
GET YOUR SAF approved and signed by your advisor(s).
UPLOAD your signed SAF to OrangeAbroad no later than October 18.
If it is difficult to have your advisor sign the SAF, you may – based on email, phone or video consultation with your advisor – complete the form yourself by indicating how each course will count.
Visiting students: your home school may not pre-approve courses. Regardless, you still must submit your SAF (STEP 4). We also ask that you upload your SAF, indicating that your school does not sign off on courses in advance.
Only legible PDF files will be accepted. If you don’t have a scanner, download a free app (such as Evernote Scannable for iPhone/iPad or Adobe Scan for iPhone or Android) that takes a photo from your phone and converts it into a PDF.
In OrangeAbroad select Student Advising Form (with Advisor’s Signature) to upload the SAF. If the SAF is not signed by your advisor, also upload any documentation of the conversation with your advisor. Be sure to hit ‘Submit’ (not ‘Save’).
Under Confirmation of Selected Courses, use the dropdown menu to indicate whether any changes have been made to your Primary Course Selections only. Syracuse Abroad will record any such changes made on your uploaded SAF as a result of consultation with your advisor(s).
