SCHEDULE ADJUSTMENT

You have an opportunity to make changes to your schedule (starting August 19 at noon Eastern Time). We recommend that you discuss any schedule adjustment plans with your academic advisor. 

KEEP IN MIND:

• All classes have an enrollment cap; you will only be able to add classes on a space available basis. Do not contact professors directly to request that they add you to their course. They cannot do so, nor can they exceed the cap that is on the course. 

• If there is a full class you hope to add, you should check frequently throughout this schedule adjustment period in case a seat opens up.

• You must maintain a registration for a minimum of 12 credits of Florence based courses.

• These deadlines control when you may no longer add or drop classes:

  • • ADD DEADLINE: MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 14th

    • DROP DEADLINE: MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 28th

• These and other key dates are reflected on the Academic Calendar that has been posted to Blackboard, and we invite you to familiarize yourself with all materials before you arrive in Florence.

• Students interested in updating the prefix of a cross-listed course will be given instructions once in Florence.

• SU students will continue to receive emails for main campus which can be confusing, especially when it comes to academic dates and deadlines. Remember to follow the information provided by Syracuse Abroad and reach out if you have any questions!

AUGUST 19-SEPTEMBER 14: ADD, SWAP, DROP - Even before classes start and through your first class session(s), you may want to swap class(es) for different offering(s), add a new class or drop a class from your schedule.

RESTRICTIONS:

• Syracuse undergraduate tuition covers up to 19 credits, so you may not exceed this cap.

• For any courses you intend to DROP, please read the additional restrictions in the "DROP ONLY" section below.

• You will not be able to change your ITA class(es). If your professor determines that you are in the wrong level, we will administratively correct your schedule. Note that you have now been placed into smaller groups, so will notice a different section # than you originally registered for (but at the same time/day).

• Some classes are open only to students admitted to Special Programs (see Schedule of Classes).

  • • • • • You can email florenceacademic@syr.edu to ask to have one of these courses added to your schedule, space permitting; Rachael will also be available in Villa Rossa (room 26) during Welcome Week to assist with schedule adjustment in person before classes start on September 7. We recommend you book an appointment by emailing rsmith@81@syr.edu. She will also be available during the first week of classes.

NOTE: The restrictions on Economics and Psychology courses have been lifted! Email florenceacademic@syr.edu for assistance registering.

SEPTEMBER 15 - 28: DROP ONLY - You can drop classes anytime during schedule adjustment through the Drop deadline of September 28 at 11:59 PM Florence time, with these exceptions:

• No student may drop below 12 credits of Florence courses.

• You may not drop CAS 200.1 or your ITA classes since they are required by the Florence program.

• Signature Seminar students: you may not drop the Signature Seminar course. You should be enrolled in at least 12 credits, in addition to the Signature Seminar.

• Studio Program students: you must remain registered for a minimum of 2 studio classes (and cannot take more than 3 studios).

• Architecture Program students: ARC 571 and 408 are required and may not be dropped.

• Wake Forest Business Program students: you are not permitted to drop or swap your business courses.

• University of Florence (courses taught in English) Program students: please work with Rachael in the Academic Office to swap any UniFi courses. Please note the special add/drop/withdrawal deadlines for local university courses.

We recommend you review any plans to drop a class with your academic advisor to ensure you will stay on track for graduation.
