The course interest data you submit is used to determine the final Schedule of Classes for the semester.
A thorough understanding of course demand is vital to the curriculum planning process. A Madrid class may be cancelled due to insufficient interest, or a section added when interest exceeds expectations. Your contribution is very important!
If you need to make changes to a CPF that you've already submitted and it's before the submission deadline, go ahead and submit a new CPF. Only your most recent submission by the deadline will be reviewed for curriculum planning purposes (and referred to following online registration if necessary).
We strongly recommend consulting with your home college academic advisor(s), but it is your responsibility to know your degree requirements and ensure your course plan (including your alternative course preferences) will keep you on track for graduation.
As with Main Campus registration, you may not get into all of the courses you want during online registration despite having a solid plan. Having a few back-up options approved means greater flexibility... and less stress!
Your academic advisor may need descriptions or syllabi for the courses you want to have approved. Contact the Academic Team at Syracuse Abroad if you need a course syllabus.
If you and your advisor make changes to the preferences that you've already submitted — and it is still before the submission deadline — go ahead and submit a new CPF. Only the most recent CPF will be reviewed by our office.
Review Prepare for Registration to make sure you're ready in late May when you receive your registration appointment and instructions.
