New Student Information

 

Welcome to the Whitman School of Management at Syracuse University!

We are so glad that you decided to join our Class of 2029.

 

Part of your transition to college life and the Whitman community includes selecting courses for your first semester and some assignments related to the IMPRESS Program. You will receive information from Assistant Dean Lindsay Quilty and the advising team to your Syracuse email address 1-2 times per month with more details on these items, mostly on Thursdays. All updates will also be available on this webpage.

 

Whitman academic advisors have been assigned and all new students should have received a welcome email from their advisor. If you are unsure, please contact us at whitmanadvising@syr.edu and someone will get back to you!

 

Registration Information

New student fall course registration takes place over the summer. All students will be sent a survey during the week of June 2nd which is used by the academic advisors to determine the most appropriate courses for the fall semester. Academic advisors enroll students directly in several of their required courses and then the student is responsible for completing their schedule during the week of August 4th (see timeline below). In late July, students will receive a personalized email detailing the courses they will need to add during self-registration.

 

Registration & Advising Webinar: In late July, our advisors will have a series of webinars to discuss the process of finalizing fall course schedules.  We encourage all students to attend one of these sessions to feel confident throughout the registration process.

Please review the following documents prior to self-registration:
