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 2028.
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. All updates will also be available on this webpage.
Whitman academic advisors have been assigned and all students received a welcome email in late May. If you are unsure who your advisor is, please contact whitmanadvising@syr.edu.
Registration Information
New student fall course registration takes place over the summer. All students were sent a survey on June 3 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 5 (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: During the week of July 29th, our advisors hosted a series of webinars to discuss the process of finalizing fall course schedules. We encourage all students to watch the recording prior to self-registration. CLICK HERE TO WATCH RECORDING. Passcode: @LjNBUm0
