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 2030.
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 will be assigned this summer, if you have any questions prior to then, please email whitmanadvising@syr.edu.
Registration Information
New student fall course registration takes place over the summer. All students will be sent a survey in June 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 3rd (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: Advisors will host a series of webinars this summer 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.
Dates/Times - TBD!
Please review the following documents prior to self-registration:
- First Year Survey Instructions for Students 2025
- Courses Available to First Year Students

Recordings will be added within 48 hours after the webinars take place.
