Special Info for
Visiting Students

How do visiting students activate their NetIDs and *@syr.edu email address?

• Follow the instructions at the NetID Self-Serv portal. Please get used to using your SU email address. This is how Syracuse staff and faculty will contact you. 

The instructions say to seek advising after I submit my Course Preference Form (CPF). Do you mean an advisor at my home institution? 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. (You may consult with more than one advisor, if different people advise you about your major and minor or dual degrees, for instance.) When you submit your CPF, the system generates an email that you may share with your advisor(s). 

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

• We require all students to complete the online Course Preference Form to gather data on course preferences. This helps our Santiago colleagues plan for the coming semester. But we're aware that many of our partner institutions have study abroad course approval forms that may duplicate some or all information on Syracuse's CPF. 

How will I receive my transcript for this semester?

• REMEMBER: Grades for Chilean university courses may not post until February for fall semesters, and July for spring semesters. You are responsible for ensuring that this timing will not adversely affect you academically or in terms of financial aid awarding.  

• Your home school needs an official transcript from Syracuse University in order to award credit for your semester on our program. When your transcript is ready, you'll receive an email from our office with instructions on requesting your Syracuse transcript (and instructions are always available here). 

• Transcripts are not issued automatically. Submit a request to the Syracuse University Registrar’s office once you have confirmed that your grades are posted and you have no financial holds. 

• 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.)
