Step One: Program Requirements

Academic Policies

• You must remain in good academic standing to participate in our program. If you are placed on academic probation prior to departure, you may be withdrawn from the program. 

• Carefully review other academic policies applicable to all Syracuse Abroad programs.

• At Syracuse University, all work for registered classes must be completed on or before the degree certification date. If you are graduating, check with your home college regarding your degree certification date, and be certain that you are aware of any remaining degree requirements.

• Information on enrollment policies, grades, SU library resources, registration, internships, and independent research can be found on the Preparing to Go website. 

• Visiting students should also refer to the Syracuse Abroad website for information on transfer credit and requesting an SU transcript.

• Matriculated Syracuse students only: If you need to take an online course during a semester abroad to stay on track for graduation, first review Syracuse Abroad-specific requirements and advice.

• Arrangements to do coursework on an independent research basis, if needed to satisfy a degree requirement, must be made in advance. Due date for proposals is May 15 (for fall semesters) or November 15 (for spring semesters).

• Check your      @syr.edu email address regularly for messages from Syracuse Abroad. If you prefer to use your home school or personal email address, we strongly recommend forwarding your       @syr.edu email to that address to avoid missing any vital messages. Syracuse University data security policy requires that certain information be sent only within the syr.edu system.
