Visiting Students

How do I earn credit while studying abroad?

• You will earn Syracuse University credit upon successful completion of courses taken at the London Center. 

• Discuss any questions you have about your institution's policies concerning grades and transfer credit so that you understand how the Syracuse Abroad policy Transfer Credit for Visiting Students applies to you.

Where is my SUID?

Your SUID should appear in the Profile section of your OrangeAbroad application. 

• Use this number to Activate your NetID and get access to your SU email account, we will be emailing you! Your email is a combinaton of your NetID followed by @syr.edu. 

• Please use your SUID and SU email when completing your Student Advising Form.

• Your NetID must be active at least 24 hours before you register online, but this should be done well before that!

The instructions say to seek advising after I submit my Student Advising Form (SAF). Do you mean an advisor at my home school? Or someone at Syracuse University?

• We're referring to an academic advisor at your home college or university who is familiar with the requirements of your degree program. 

• Consult with more than one advisor, if different people advise you about your major, minor or dual degrees. 

• When you submit your SAF, the system generates a PDF (emailed to you at the email you provide in the SAF) for sharing with your advisor(s). 

There is space on the form by each course selection for an advisor to initial if it's approved, and to indicate how the course counts toward your degree (major course, elective, counts toward minor, etc.). 

After you upload it to Orange Abroad, the signed SAF is your proof of advising. 

I already completed a study abroad approval form for my home school. Why should I also complete and upload the SAF? 

We require all students to complete the online SAF form, and use it to gather data on all students' course preferences as we continue planning with our London colleagues for the coming semester. 

We understand that many of our partner institutions have study abroad course approval forms that may duplicate some or all information on Syracuse's SAF. Please use this to fill out the SAF and upload your home school's study abroad approval form with your submission.

How will I receive my transcript for this semester?

Your home school needs an official transcript from Syracuse University in order to award credit for your semester. Order a transcript once you see that all of your grades have posted!

Transcripts are not issued automatically. 

IMPORTANT! Syracuse Abroad provides one transcript at no charge for all visiting students. Your free transcript is redeemable for one year from the end of your program. (E-transcripts are delivered free of charge. All mailed transcripts are subject to a mailing fee.)
