Accepting the Offer
Intent to Register Form & Deposit
Your Intent to Register form will be mailed with your official letter of admission. If you have received your packet but are missing the form, contact us at pcgrad@syr.edu.
Please complete your Intent to Register form and mail it along with an advance deposit of $400. Your form and deposit must be received by May 1. Payments must be made with either a check or money order (made out to Syracuse University). Credit card payments cannot be accepted. (There is an exception to this policy for international students. See below.)
Public Diplomacy applicants should return both Intent to Register forms (Public Relations and International Relations) to the Graduate Records Office, but only one deposit is required.
This will secure your spot in the Newhouse graduate class of 2009-10. The deposit will be applied to your first tuition bill; however, it is nonrefundable if you do not enroll.
Contrary to the address printed on the form, send it to:
Graduate Records Office
330 Newhouse 2
215 University Place
Syracuse, NY 13244
