Accessing the Qualtrics Survey

Your fall 2024 registration form will be available until June 24, 2024. Please check your

@syr.edu email address for your unique link to the survey (sent on June 3, 2024).

Singly-enrolled and dually-enrolled Whitman students are required to complete this

survey as part of their first semester enrollment. The survey contains university-based

questions and questions specific to your program. This information will help us create the

first part of your schedule before you finish registration during the week of August 7

(A&S, Maxwell, Falk, and Newhouse dual students will have a full schedule

created for them with the opportunity to discuss changes with their Whitman

advisor).

Questions 1-12: University Questions

These questions will ask for general information from you, if you have any

expected AP, IB, or transfer credits, and whether you are participating in any

campus organizations or athletics.

General Requirements

At Syracuse University, all students are required to take the

following Undergraduate University Requirements

FYS 101: First Year Seminar

IDEA Course Requirement (this does not have to be completed in your first

semester)

English/Writing Requirement

All students at Syracuse University are required to take Writing courses or an ENL

(English for Non-Native Speakers) equivalent unless they have accepted transfer,

Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) credit.

If your primary language is not English, you will be required to take an English

placement exam. Placement Exam Information can be located here.

If you are submitting Transfer, Advance Placement (AP) or International

Baccalaureate (IB) credits to the University, your credit will be reviewed and then

the appropriate course will be determined.

Learning Community

Explore the 25+ LLC options and if one interests you, rank your LLC choices in the

online Housing application found in MySlice. For more information about LLCs, visit

our website.

If you have applied to participate in a Learning Community, it may have one or

more required courses. Additional information about required courses for learning

communities can be found online at the website linked above.

AP, IB, and transfer credit

If you have taken an AP or IB course, a SU Project Advance (SUPA)

course/other Syracuse course, or are looking to transfer credit from another

college or university, you need to let us know! We need this information, so you

do not accidentally repeat courses for which you have already earned credit.

Under the appropriate category, indicate any courses for which you anticipate to

receive/already have credit.

Advanced Placement (AP) Credit

List all exams you have taken or will take. Arrange to have your official scores

sent to Syracuse University. It is your responsibility to check with the Whitman

Undergraduate Office to make sure you have received the proper credit based on

your scores.

Please note the following conditions:

• We cannot record your credit until we have an official copy of your scores. If

you have had the scores sent to Syracuse University’s Admissions Office, we

will receive them.

• If you haven't received your final AP exam scores yet, that's okay! You can still

check the box, and we will review your scores when we receive them.

• You are granted AP credit with the understanding that the work you have done

is equivalent to the courses listed. You can receive credit only once for this

work, so if you take the equivalent course at Syracuse, your AP credit will no

longer count.

• You can find a list of AP course equivalents in section 8 of the course catalog

International Baccalaureate (IB) Credit

List all IB courses and anticipated scores. Arrange to have your IB Diploma sent to

Syracuse University. It is your responsibility to check with the Whitman

Undergraduate Office to make sure you have received the proper credit based on

your scores. We cannot record your credit until we have an official copy of your

scores.

College-Level Exam Program (CLEP) Credit

List all CLEP courses and anticipated scores. Arrange to have your CLEP transcript

sent to Syracuse University. It is your responsibility to check with the Whitman

Undergraduate Office to make sure you have received the proper credit based on

your scores. We cannot record your credit until we have an official copy of your

scores.

Transfer Credit

If you have taken a course at another college or university, you may be able to

transfer the credit to Syracuse University if the course meets the following

criteria:

• You took the course at an accredited institution.

• You earned a grade of “C” or higher (pass/fail grades are not

acceptable).

• The course is equivalent to a course offered at Syracuse University and

applies toward your degree requirements. You may need to provide a

course description or a syllabus.

You must have an official transcript sent from the college or university to

the Whitman School of Management directly. (High school transcripts are not

sufficient).

You may have electronic transcripts sent to whitmanadvising@syr.edu

directly.

Previously downloaded or forwarded copies will not be accepted.

Transcripts sent to the Registrar’s Office are not forwarded to our office, and you

may need to request a new copy. E-transcripts are the preferred method of

delivery.

Paper transcripts can be mailed to:

Whitman Undergraduate Programs

Whitman School of Management

721 University Ave, Suite 215

Syracuse, NY 13244-2450

SU Project Advance (SUPA) or other courses completed at Syracuse University

Please list any Project Advance or other Syracuse courses that you have taken.

SUPA credit is Syracuse University credit. These courses already appear on your

Syracuse transcript with a GPA. You will receive credit for courses you have

passed and should not register for the same course again. We do not need a copy

of your transcript for these courses as we already have access to these records.

University’s Marching Band, please contact the band office at 315-443-2194 or e-

(three evenings, two hours each) occur during the fall semester with additional

3+3 Track with the College of Law

Whitman and College of Law have created a 3+3 BS/JD program

for candidates

with top credentials and an interest in pursuing both degrees in an accelerated

six-year program. This bachelor’s plus law degree program will permit students

who meet the requirements for admission to enter the College of Law after three

years of undergraduate education. After the successful completion of the first law

year (fourth year of the 3+3), the undergraduate degree is conferred. The 3+3

student earns the J.D. degree after successful completion of the law program. If

you are considering this track, please check yes in the area at the bottom of the

first page of the registration survey so we can accommodate your needs during

registration. Dual students are not eligible to pursue the 3+3 program due to

course requirements for their program.

Courses

To complete the BS degree in the Whitman School of Management, you must earn

a minimum of 122 credits (140+ for dual programs). Students typically take 15-17

credits each semester, an average load of 5 courses. Dual students typically

complete 18-19 credits each semester. While there is a specific number of credits

required to receive your degree, each program is made up of required courses

(prescribed courses needed for your degree) and elective courses (student-

selected courses from a particular category that fulfill an area of the degree).
