STEP ONE:
REVIEW UPDATES
Make sure you will have access to a computer during the online registration period: June 5-11. If you do not register yourself promptly when your appointment begins, you may find that your preferred courses are full.
ALL of the information below may affect your registration so review carefully!

If you need to re-work your schedule, we've identified other courses to consider.

NOTE for Studio courses: many studio art courses are expected to be filled by Studio Arts Program students. Those not on the Studio Arts program that indicated a studio courses on their CPF will be contacted regarding open spots in the upcoming week. Other students interested in taking one of these courses may have an opportunity to add after arrival in Florence, pending availability.
REMINDER: PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
All undergraduate students are required to take a minimum of 12 credits.
Due to Italian immigration requirements, you may not drop below 12 credits at any point during the semester.
You may not enroll in more than 19 total credits without approval from your home college (visiting students seek approval from Syracuse Abroad); registration over 19 credits is subject to additional per-credit tuition charges.
All undergraduate students are required to take the following:
CAS 200.1 – Mapping Italy: This one-credit class begins online before your arrival in Florence and includes in-person and online sessions at the Syracuse Florence campus during the semester.
This 1 credit course will be added to your schedule before online registration begins.
Italian Language or Literature course(s): Study of Italian language is a program requirement. Note that your ITA registration level and time slot is subject to review and confirmation before classes start in September. Many more of you requested 11am sections of ITA 101 than there are seats available. If your preferred time slot is full when you register, select an alternative section meeting at 8:30am. Our office can only assist with requests to get into a closed 11 am section if you have a conflict with other required courses preventing you from taking both MW and TTH 8:30am sections.
How to Register for your Required ITA Class(es)
1. Matriculated Syracuse University students: If you have not taken ITA at SU, be sure you have taken the online placement exam/survey. If you don’t do this first, you will not be able to register for ITA!
2. If you are at the beginning levels (equivalent of fewer than 2 semesters of college-level Italian), will you also take the optional 2-credit companion Community and Culture class?
If yes, be sure to register for the level that corresponds to your 4-cr course:
o ITA 117 is the companion course to ITA 101
o ITA 118 is the companion course to ITA 102
SPECIAL PROGRAM REGISTRATION
Architecture Program Students
Be sure you have completed the ITA placement survey/exam AND have no holds preventing registration!
You will be administratively registered for your required classes in the upcoming weeks:
ARC 407/408
ARC 571
ARC elective assigned by your School of ARCH advisor
ITA language
CAS 200.1
University of Florence (courses taught in English) Students
You will not be able to register online in MySlice for University of Florence classes because their schedule is not yet available. Be sure to register for a full schedule of Syracuse Florence Center classes (minimum of 12 credits; more if your home school has a higher credit requirement). Later in the summer, the Florence Academic Team will work with you to try to integrate one or more UniFi courses into your Syracuse Florence Center schedule. Once your combined schedule of UniFi and Center courses is set, you’ll drop any extra Center courses.
Studio Arts Program Students
Be sure to enroll in 2-3 studio courses, your ITA language course, and any Florence Center course(s) to fill your schedule.
The following are studio courses that will likely fill due to high interest:
ARI 231 Drawing I
ARI 261 Painting Studio I
ARI 361 Painting Studio II/ARI 400.1 Advanced Painting
Wake Forest Business Program Students
Students on the Florence Center: Wake Forest Business program have been administratively pre-registered for the two business courses they selected on the Google form filled out through WFU. No section swaps will be allowed in these courses, as your placement was done to balance sections and not exceed classroom capacity.
Be sure to register yourself for the required ITA course and at least 1 to 2 other Florence Center courses.
INTERNSHIPS
If you have requested to do an internship then you have been administratively registered for a 1-credit placeholder for that internship. You will need to enroll for an additional 12 credits to ensure you will still be full-time should you later opt to drop the internship.
CREDIT LIMIT
During online registration, MySlice will not allow you to register for more than 17 credits of Florence courses. If you attempt to, you will receive the error message “Maximum term student unit load exceeded.” If you need to register for more than this typical course load, email the Florence Academic Team PRIOR to the start of online registration to explain your academic need for a heavy load during an abroad semester.
REGISTRATION RESTRICTIONS
Enrollment priority for the following courses goes to Food Studies, Nutrition Science, and related majors who may register for no more than two. Non-majors should not register for more than one course:
FST 300 - Vine to Table: Italian Wines in Context (either section)
FST 304 - Farm to Fork
NSD 452 - Mediterranean Food and Culture: Florence Experience (either section)
Students may not register for both of the following courses, since similar content is covered in each:
ANT 300 - Food, Culture and Identity (either section)
NSD 452 – Mediterranean Food and Culture: Florence Experience (either section)
Plan to register for only one of these introductory art history courses:
HOA 203 – Italian Arts from Antiquity to Michelangelo (either section)
HOA 320 – Italian Renaissance Art (any section)
Students may not register for both of these art history courses, since similar content is covered in each:
HOA 320 – Italian Renaissance Art (any section)
HOA 424 – Sixteenth Century Italian Art and Identity
Psychology courses:
Only Psychology majors and minors may register for two PSY courses; all other students are limited to one. (Seats in PSY courses may be available during online Schedule Adjustment if space remains after PSY majors/minors have been seated.)
Students who disregard these directives will be dropped from the additional restricted course (MySlice will not prevent you from registering for more than one of these courses).
Some courses are open only to students admitted to Florence Special Programs as noted on the Schedule of Classes.
COURSE FEES
Many courses get you out of the classroom and into museums and cultural centers where you will view or experience what you are studying. Some of these courses carry fees for study tours, site visits, activities, or supplies that are an integral part of the course. Please carefully review the course fee sheet and also share it with your parents/guardians if they are financially responsible for your fees. More information can also be found on our website.
If you register for any course with a mandatory study tour, you must participate in this field study. Do not plan personal travel until you get to Florence and know when you may be required to take part in any class-related study tours, all-program trips, make-up classes, exam periods, and other academic commitments.
SCHEDULE ADJUSTMENT
You will have an opportunity to make changes to your registration—drop and add classes—online starting in late August. Details will be available in August.
