Academic Year Courses:
Five alternate formats are available for some Syracuse University courses.
These courses, open to any part-time matriculated or non-matriculated student, may be used to fulfill program requirements at SU or elsewhere. Academic standards and expectations are the same as for regular semester courses. Students may combine formats in any way that suits their needs; for example, taking an online course along with an accelerated course, during the same semester.
Because many classes are contingent upon enrollment, we strongly encourage students to register as soon as possible. Unfilled classes may be canceled. Therefore, early registration enables us to confirm class offerings. Early registration may also allow you to participate in a more flexible payment option. Before matriculated students register for any of these courses, we strongly recommend that you consult with your academic advisor to ensure that courses are appropriate for your individual circumstances. Go to http://MySlice.syr.edu for the latest course updates.
Summer Courses
Courses are offered during 4 sessions:
MAYmester, Session I, Session II, Combined Session
The dates for these sessions may be found in the UC summer credit schedule or on the web at Summer@Syracuse.

Call 315-443-4135 to speak to a Student Services Coordinator for this information, or visit the Bursar and/or Registrar web pages for registration and drop deadlines, registration forms and procedures, and tuition & fees. See below for financial
aid policies for flexible course formats.
Accelerated Format
Complete a course in seven weeks. Accelerated courses meet in the classroom for nine hours (Saturday and Sunday, 4.5 hours per day). Attendance during this period is required. Students complete the course from home over the remainder of the seven weeks, using various methods (online, e-mail, regular mail).

Condensed Format
Students take an entire course in a more concentrated time period. Classes may meet once a week for eight weeks (five hours a night), twice a week for seven weeks (three hours a night), or on the weekends (Friday night and all day Saturday). Classes meeting all day usually have a workshop, presentation, or performance emphasis that makes long class periods desirable.

Hybrid Format
Any combination of classroom and online instruction. Used here to designate such courses that do not use the Accelerated or Weekend College formats.
None offered during Fall 2013.
Online Format
Take a course from your computer at home—no commuting
necessary! They are conducted over the course of a semester.
Online dialogue with the instructor and discussion with your classmates
are integral parts of these courses. Students do not need
to be computer experts, but basic computer skills are important:
sending and receiving e-mail messages, posting to online discussion
forums, “surfing” the web, and downloading files from a
web site.
Offered in Fall 2013:
For listings of online classes for the current and upcoming terms, visit the Online Courses pages.
Weekend College Format
Meet on campus for a three-day introduction to the course (four hours per day, per course). Attendance during this period is required. The rest of the course is completed from home by various methods (online, e-mail, regular mail), depending on instructor preference. Meeting times for these classes are irregular; please check the schedule below or MySlice for details.

Financial Aid
Register early for flexible format classes if you need financial aid! Students who expect to receive financial aid must
register by the add deadline of the standard term within which the
flexible format class is offered.
Federal Student Loans for students in
flexible format classes that begin later within the standard term
may disburse on dates varying from those published for the standard
term. Therefore, refund processing may also be affected.
If you
need financial aid to pay for a class that
starts after the official start date of the standard term,
contact your UC Financial Aid Advisor during early registration
for information and assistance. Call 315-443-3261 or finaid@uc.syr.edu.
