Welcome to the Maxwell School

1. Submit the Intent to Register Form
Accept (or decline) your offer of admission by submitting the electronic Intent to Register (e-ITR) form no later than April 15 or the date listed in your offer of admission (please note: the response deadline provided in your offer of admission supersedes the April 15 deadline).

Please note:

• Students admitted early for the following academic year will have until December 31 to respond to their offer.
• Students admitted to the accelerated bachelor’s/master’s program must respond by the regular April 15 deadline (or the date listed in offer of admission, if different).

The e-ITR form will be sent to you from our Graduate Enrollment Management Center’s automated account (gradadm@syr.edu). Complete the requested information and send it back to graduateitr@syr.edu.

2. Pay Your Deposit
To secure your place in the upcoming class, submit a non-refundable deposit of $500. This deposit is payable by check, credit/debit card or wire transfer. You must first activate your Syracuse University NetID and then submit the payment on MySlice. This deposit will be credited to your first tuition bill upon matriculation. Only one deposit is required, even if you have been admitted to a dual degree program. Please allow 2-3 business days for processing of your deposit payment and the electronic Intent to Register form.

3. Submit Final, Official Degree-Bearing Transcripts
By the end of their first semester of study at Syracuse University, all graduate students at Syracuse University must submit an official transcript which must bear the appropriate signatures and seal of the institution that issued it. The transcript must be received by Syracuse University in a sealed envelope directly from the issuing institution. *NOTE: Accelerated bachelor’s/master’s students do not need to submit transcripts until after they have officially completed their undergraduate degree.

1. Provide Required Financial Documentation
Please note that all international students are recommended for admission on a conditional basis. The Graduate School and the Center for International Services at Syracuse University will communicate with you via email with instructions on how to submit the required documentation to finalize your admission and obtain your student visa. Please note that for the M.P.A. and M.A. in international relations programs, the required funding will be based on the full 40-credit program, your living habits, cost of living and possible changes in tuition and fees—minus any scholarships or awards granted by the Maxwell School. *See the Center for International Services for more information about arriving at Syracuse and living in the community.
