1) What are the admissions
requirements?
Admission to SU degree programs is based upon demonstration
of previous academic success or current academic and professional
achievement. Qualified students may apply anytime during the
year. An interview with a University College academic advisor
is required of all candidates for admission to part-time study.
A student may not simultaneously apply to University College
and any other undergraduate division of Syracuse University.
The general criteria for admission includes:
-
Graduation from high school or successful completion
of the GED examination. If the applicant has taken college
level work, then the student's performance will be reviewed
to ensure that he/she is prepared for study in a degree
program.
-
An applicant's volunteer work and or employment history
are reviewed to understand not merely the relationship
to the student's educational and career goals, but also
how they illustrate the individual's organizational and
leadership skills.
-
A personal essay by the applicant is used to demonstrate
writing ability as well as to provide information about
goals, interests, and values.
-
The personal interview, by far the most important step
in the process, provides the opportunity to personalize
the application and determine eligibility for admission.
If an applicant cannot demonstrate academic success, that
person will be required to complete a minimum of six academic
courses as a nonmatriculated student. Upon successful
completion of these courses, the students will be reviewed
for admission to his/her intended program of study.

2) What does matriculated/non-matriculated
mean?
A matriculated student is one who has applied for and been
formally admitted to a degree-granting program at either the
undergraduate or graduate level. A student must be matriculated
in order to receive a degree from Syracuse University.
A non-matriculated student is one who takes courses and has
not been officially admitted into a degree program.
3) How many credits can
I take as a part-time student?
A maximum of 11
credits per semester.
4) What programs may be completed entirely in the evenings?
A.A. in Liberal Arts
B.A. in Liberal Studies
B.A. in Psychology
B.S. in Information Management and Technology
B.S. in General Management Studies
B.S. in Communication
and Rhetorical Studies
B.P.S. in Legal Studies (ABA approved)
B.P.S. in Organizational Leadership
B.S. in Child & Family Studies
B.S. in Social Work
5) What associate degrees
are offered at SU?
A.A. in Liberal Arts (offered on campus or via distance learning)
6) Can I take classes during
the day?
Yes, you may register for any course within the
University if you meet the requirements for that particular
course.
7) Do University College
students receive a SU diploma?
Yes, upon completion of your program's requirements you will
receive a Syracuse University diploma.
8) What other resources
are available to me as a part-time student?
Please visit our
Resources web page.
9) How many credits will
transfer?
A maximum of 66 semester hours may be transferred from a two-year
institution. A maximum of 90 semester hours may be granted
from another four-year college. At no time may the total credit
hours transferred to Syracuse University from college courses
and testing programs exceed 90 semester hours. Syracuse University
grants transfer credit based on content of courses previously
completed, their applicability to the intended program of
study, and the quality of the student's performance.
10) Does SU accept CLEP
/ AP tests for credit?
The student's home college or school will evaluate and apply accepted
credit to the degree program for AP and CLEP examinations. Schools
and colleges will be guided by the recommendations of minimum acceptable
score, awardable credit, and SU course equivalency made by the academic
unit with principal responsibility for the examination subject.
Go to: Transfer
Credits homepage.
11) Is financial aid available
to part-time students?
Yes. Financial
aid resources include grants, scholarships, loans, and employment
opportunities, which are designed to help students meet college
costs. To qualify for SU financial aid through University College, you must
be a part-time student matriculated (admitted to a degree
program) through University College, demonstrate financial
need (for most programs), and enroll for 1-11 credits during
the summer, fall, and/or spring semester. Students may qualify
for loans, the UC Achiever Scholarship, and the UC Incentive
Grant without demonstrating financial need. (See eligibility
criteria under Procedures
for University College Financial Aid Application). Contact the University
College Financial Aid Office at 443-3261 to discuss your options.
12) What scholarships are available?
The Admissions Committee awards UC Achiever Scholarships.
This new merit-based scholarship is available to new matriculated
undergraduates transferring to SU through UC with at least
30 units (credits) of transferable course work and a minimum
GPA of 3.3. If you maintain the required GPA, you can continue
to renew your Achiever Scholarship of 35% of tuition for 90
units, 6 years, or until you earn your bachelor's degree,
whichever comes first.
13) What is HEOP?
The Arthur O. Eve Higher Education Opportunity Program (HEOP) at UC is a special
admission program (funded by New York State Education Department
and SU) for individuals whose financial and educational backgrounds
would prohibit them from regular admission to Syracuse University.
Go to HEOP homepage.
14) Can I transfer into the HEOP program?
Yes, students who have begun their college career though a special
program such as SEEK, College Recovery, or EOP and who meet
SU admissions criteria may transfer into HEOP.
15) How do I schedule an appointment
with an academic advisor?
Call 315-443-3261or e-mail ucinfo@uc.syr.edu.
