An official invitation with details is included with your admit letter. To reserve a space, please e-mail us at pcgrad@syr.edu, or call (315) 443-4039.

PARKING:
Complimentary parking has been provided for our visitors at the University Avenue Garage. To get there from Route 81, take the Adams Street off-ramp (Exit 18), which will lead to Adams Street. Turn onto Adams, a one-way road leading up hill. At the third light, the intersection with University Avenue, you will see the University Garage ahead on your left. (See map.) Enter the garage by taking a ticket and take the ticket with you. We will provide a validation sticker when you register.
When you exit the garage using the Harrison Ave. exit, please mention the Newhouse Preview to the attendant. This is the only parking facility for which your parking fee will be covered. Please note that the garage closes at 5 p.m. By turning left onto Harrison upon exiting, you will be able to get back onto I-81.
Walk up University Avenue and the heart of campus will be in front of you. The Newhouse complex is bounded by University Avenue, University Place, and Waverly Avenue, just two blocks from the University Garage. Please enter Newhouse 3 from Waverly Avenue. (See map.) You will be directed to our registration table from there.
