You must submit acceptable documentation of all degrees earned prior to matriculation in your graduate program at Syracuse University by the end of your first semester of study. Federal loans cannot be disbursed until this documentation has been received and verified. If you do not meet this requirement you may be prohibited from further registration. The Newhouse policy is to add a hold to your record if you have not provided this documentation by July 15, thus prohibiting fall registration in August.

For students who begin studies in the fall, the deadline is August 1.

You must submit acceptable documentation of all degrees earned prior to matriculation in your graduate program at Syracuse University by the end of your first semester of study. Federal loans cannot be disbursed until this documentation has been received and verified. If you do not meet this requirement you may be prohibited from further registration.

Newhouse requires submission of this documentation by July 15. Some exceptions may be made, but students must contact the Graduate Programs Office prior to July 15.

If you took a communications law course within the past five years, you may be able to waive this master’s program requirement and take another course in its place. You must have earned a B or better in a relatively recent course. A course description and syllabus are required. You must complete this online form by July 15 if you plan to request a waiver.

Aside from communications law, as detailed above, you may use a Petition to the Faculty to waive other course requirements. You may be asked to provide a syllabus and obtain approval from another Newhouse department other than your own. Once a requirement is waived, you must take an additional course or courses to make up the credits. Please contact the Office of Graduate Professional Progams for details.

Before you register for your classes each term, you should attend the special advising session for your program of study and/or consult with your assigned Newhouse adviser or program director. Where choices of courses are allowed, your adviser will help you make appropriate decisions. However, even though you consult with an adviser, remember that the fulfillment of degree requirements is your responsibility as a graduate student.

Always check restrictions and/or prerequisites. You must take only graduate-level courses (courses numbered 500 and above) and follow the curriculum that has been established for your program of study. At least half of your course work must be at the 600-level or above.

Graduate students are limited to taking a maximum of 15 credits each semester. If you intend to take more than 15 credits, even if the credits will be audited, a signed petition will be required. This petition should be filled out by the student, specifying exactly how many credits will be taken, signed by the program director, and submitted electronically to nhgradadvise@syr.edu.

You will need a permission number if you try to register for a course that has restrictions you do not meet or if you are trying to register for a closed course. If it is a Newhouse course, you must fill out a Wait List Form either online or in the Academic Programs Suite, 318 Newhouse 3. If approved, the department coordinator will email you a permission number. Do not use the online wait list feature on MySlice for Newhouse courses. If it is a non-Newhouse course, you should contact either the instructor or department chair to find out the appropriate procedure for obtaining permission.

From the first day of registration, you may go on MySliceand adjust your schedule. View the deadlines for adding and dropping courses on the academic calendar on the Registrar’s website.

Deadlines for adding, dropping, and withdrawing from courses are absolute. The Registrar’s Office will not honor adds, drops, or withdrawals received after the published deadlines. For fall and spring semesters, you have one week after the start of classes to add a course and three weeks to drop a course with a full refund. Different deadlines may apply for flex courses offered during only part of the semester. If you withdraw (this deadline is later than the drop deadline) from a course, the course will appear on your transcript with a “WD” (for withdraw), rather than a grade, and the tuition will not be refunded.

Master’s students may audit courses on a space-available basis. You do not earn credit for audited courses and these courses will not fulfill any degree requirements. If you register for nine credits in a given semester, you may audit additional courses free of charge. Otherwise, you must pay the tuition cost for the audited course. A grade of “AU” will show up on your transcript and it does not affect your GPA. The deadline to audit a course is two weeks after the start of the semester (unless it is a flex class). We cannot make exceptions to this deadline. Students may not attend courses they have not registered for via MySlice.

The School incorporates the university’s auditing policies, with the exception that students will not be permitted to audit classes that are limited to 20 or fewer students unless they get the permission of the Director of Academic Operations and instructor within the first week of class.

To audit a Newhouse course, you must first fill out an Audit Request Form, obtained from the Office of Graduate Professional Programs. Once completed, the office will submit it to the Director of Academic Operations. Once you have been approved to audit, you will be issued a permission number, if needed, and you must add the course via MySlice. Then you must fill out the audit section on a Grading Option Application, obtain the instructor’s signature, and take it to the Registrar’s Office, 106 Steele Hall before the published deadline.

All graduate independent studies are registered as 690 courses (and completed in the department of the faculty sponsor). If you take an undergraduate course for graduate credit (see below) you will also complete it as an independent study. You register for a 690 by completing a Proposal for Independent Study and by taking the following steps:

1. Identify and contact a faculty sponsor. Determine the goals and format for your independent study. Your faculty sponsor should complete items 1-4 and sign the form. Be sure the form states clearly and specifically the exact nature of the independent study, criteria for grading, and assignments on which the grading will be based.
2. Get your program director or department chair’s signature and your adviser’s signature.
3. Bring the completed, signed proposal to the Office for Graduate Professional Programs for the Associate Dean’s review and signature. The office will send it to the Registrar’s Office and they will add the course to your schedule. No additional online registration steps are necessary.

You may register for an Independent Study throughout the semester, up until two weeks before the last day of classes.

Special note regarding undergraduate level courses:

Graduate students cannot receive credit toward their degrees for undergraduate courses (courses numbered below 500). In some cases, however, a faculty member may allow you to attend an undergraduate course and supplement it with additional work, such as a special project, paper, or class presentation. If you work out such an agreement with a professor, you must register for an Independent Study in the same department in which the class is offered and follow the above instructions for doing so. You also must petition if this course is to fulfill a requirement in your program of study.

Special Note: International students cannot do an internship until after they have resided in the U.S. and studied at SU for a minimum of nine months, and must obtain approval for Practical Training from the Center for International Services prior to the start of the internship.

Incomplete grades can be granted only when exceptional circumstances prevent a student from completing a course within the usual time limits. Please review the Grading information from the Registrar’s Office. An approved incomplete represents a contract between the student and the professor and specifies the reason for granting an incomplete and the conditions and time limit for removing it. All requests for an incomplete must be submitted prior to the completion of the semester.

You must keep in mind that the granting of an incomplete is a special favor awarded by a professor, and evaluating work submitted to satisfy an incomplete often conflicts with the professor’s obligations to his or her subsequent students, which, of course, must take precedence. Thus, you should not expect work submitted in completion of an incomplete to be graded with the same promptness as work submitted on time in regularly scheduled classes.

You may transfer into your program of study a maximum of 20% of your program’s required credits. Specific credit earned at another accredited graduate school must carry at least a grade of B, must have been taken within seven years, must not have been used toward an undergraduate degree or its equivalent, must form an integral part of the degree program, and must be evaluated and approved by the academic department and the Office of Graduate Professional Programs. Details can be found in Academic Rules and Regulations, 20.0 Transfer Credit. The same rules apply if the credits are transferred from another Syracuse University graduate program.

If it is necessary for you to withdraw or take a leave of absence from the University, you should complete the Graduate Leave of Absence form. Even if you do plan to return, it is important that you complete the proper paperwork so that you will remain in good standing with the School. If you do not enroll in classes for a particular fall/spring semester you must complete a leave of absence form and then apply for readmission prior to being able to register for classes again.

If you are not making satisfactory progress toward your degree then you may be withdrawn from the program on the decision of the program director and the Associate Dean. You may also be withdrawn on the basis of academic or disciplinary reasons. Readmission in these cases is subject not only to space availability, but also to satisfaction of additional requirements specified in the terms of the withdrawal.

If you apply for readmission to a degree program in which requirements have changed since the time of withdrawal or leave of absence, you may be required to satisfy the requirements of the program of study as currently defined. The program director and the Associate Dean will determine which set of requirements apply.

You will not be readmitted until all prior Syracuse University financial obligations and disciplinary actions have been satisfied. If the leave or withdrawal from the University was for medical reasons, you must be approved for readmission by the office that originally authorized your departure. Readmission is also dependent upon space availability in the program.

Readmitted students are eligible to register for the upcoming semester during the regular registration period in the prior semester or on the registration day for new students at the beginning of the semester.
