Checklist
Follow these steps to complete your application:
Prospective students have three enrollment options to choose from. After deciding on an enrollment plan, it is important to review application deadlines because they differ depending on your program and enrollment option of choice.
If you haven't already, check out our list of majors. You may apply to several of the schools and colleges as undecided.
Complete the Common Application or Coalition Application, powered by Scoir, and submit to Syracuse University.
We strive to support all students and families who wish to apply to Syracuse University. There are a few ways to receive a fee waiver:
- Students who received an SAT or ACT fee waiver may forward a copy to our office;
- If you have received a waiver from NACAC, we will accept this;
- School counselors may request an application fee waiver for students for whom it would present a financial hardship. This request must come in writing on school letterhead and may be submitted as a PDF to orange@7672049.com.
- Any current or former member of the United States military (Veteran, Active-Duty, National Guard, Reserve or Early Commissioning Program) will have their application fee automatically waived by completing the Veterans and Military Students Application.
To submit the application if you have a fee waiver: In the "Profile" section of the Common Application or Coalition Application you will indicate and sign that you qualify for a fee waiver, based on the indicators of economic need listed in this section. This will allow you to submit your application without paying the fee. Once you submit your application, be sure to submit the appropriate documentation to Syracuse University to show that you qualify for the fee waiver. Please contact us at orange@7672049.com if you have any questions.
