Partner University Programs

IMPORTANT: Grades for courses in the partner university programs may be posted to your SU transcript later than courses taken at the Center so you should ensure that this timing will not adversely affect you academically or in terms of financial aid awarding. At Syracuse University, all work for registered classes must be completed on or before the degree certification date. If you are graduating, you should seek advice from your home college regarding your degree certification date and also be certain you are aware of any remaining degree requirements.

French Language Institute, Université de Strasbourg (Unistra) and Sciences Po Strasbourg

If you have been admitted to one of the French partner university programs, you need to complete and upload your Student Advising Form seeking approval for any courses offered at the Strasbourg Center in which you are interested. Recommended center courses include FRE 300.1, FRE 300.2 and FRE/HST 449, which are taught exclusively in French.

You will not be able to indicate specific partner university courses on your SAF; see below tips for your specific program on what to find and select in each dropdown.

Registration for all partner university programs is completed in Strasbourg once students have had an opportunity to attend classes. 

For students accepted to the French Language Institute (Institut International d’Etudes Françaises):

You will take the French placement exam at the IIEF upon arrival in Strasbourg and will be placed into the required French-language core class (6 credits) based on your level.

o   When completing your SAF, under French (program requirement) select ‘IIEF French Language Instruction [6cr]’.

You may also choose to register for a variety of elective one-credit courses at the IIEF in subjects including history, literature, cinema, political science, etc., OR combine these classes with those at the Syracuse Strasbourg Center, schedule permitting. IIEF courses may be grouped together to fulfill course and/or credit requirements.

o   When completing your SAF, indicate your intention to take one or more 1-credit courses by selecting under Course Selection, ‘IIEF Course(s) TBD [generally 1 cr]’; this may mean selecting this dropdown option more than once.

For students accepted to the Université de Strasbourg and Sciences Po Strasbourg:

Tips for completing your SAF depending on your specific program:

• Sciences Po-Strasbourg - When completing your SAF, under Course Selection select the generic ‘Sciences Po-Strasbourg course TBD [generally 2-3 cr]’ as placeholder(s) for the number of credits you intend to take at the local university (this may mean selecting this dropdown option more than once).
