Registration

This information can be found on Degree Works, Newhouse Guidebooks and reaching out to your Program Director.

Newhouse classes often have limited enrollment or have restrictions. If you are closed out of a Newhouse class during registration you will need to fill out a override request form. Dates change each term. If an open section of a required course is available, you must register for the open section.

If you are trying to register for a closed non-Newhouse course, you will need to contact the instructor or department for instructions.

First, you will need to identify the hold(s) on your account. You can do this by signing into MySlice, then selecting “Holds”.

Second, review the holds and what University Office they are from. You will need to contact the office listed on the hold for information on how to have this removed.

Note: Other University Holds cannot be lifted by Newhouse.

In the beginning of the spring semester, the Office of Academic Advising will email and provide instructions.
1. Login to MySlice, go to Student Services / Academics / File Diploma Request.
2. Click on your program and select your graduation term. This is the term in which you will complete your program requirements.
3. Verify your diploma address or add a new one if needed.
4. Verify your name as it will appear on your diploma.

Please note that you cannot receive your degree unless you complete this process.

While there are four different graduation dates per year, Syracuse University and the Newhouse School only host ceremonies once a year, in May. All summer graduates are invited to attend, even if you are not yet finished. Fall graduates may petition to attend.

Newhouse hosts its own Convocation ceremony where graduating seniors and graduate students receive individual recognition. SU Commencement is for the entire University. More information about Commencement and Convocation can be found online.
