Graduate students may retake a course in which they earned a grade of C+, C, C-, or F, with the approval of their department/college and the Graduate School. Graduate courses may be retaken only once. A repeated course replaces the original course on the student's degree program of study, but both the original course and the repeated course will appear on the student's transcript and both courses will calculate unless the original course is flagged.
Transfer Credit
A maximum of nine transfer credits are accepted by the program. To be accepted, the credits must have been earned at another regionally accredited graduate school in the United States or at an institutional equivalency recognized in another country; earned in a course in which the grade earned was at least a B. Coursework completed on a pass/fail basis is not eligible for transfer unless approved by the academic unit chair and dean of the Graduate School; is in integral part of the degree program; and is approved by the Public Health department.
Chapter 8 - Academic Advising & Forms.
Advising Statement.
Academic Advising is an essential component of a Syracuse University education. The University is committed to providing the individual advice and assistance that students need at every step throughout their degree programs. A successful system of academic advising is highly dependent upon a shared commitment of students, faculty, and staff to the process and the availability of timely, accurate information.
...
Students are responsible for scheduling, preparing for, and keep advising appointments; for seeking out contacts and information; and for knowing the basic requirements for their degree programs. Students bear the final responsibility for making their own decisions based on the best information and advice available and, ultimately, on their own judgment.
Academic Advising: Advisor Responsibilities.
Advisors are responsible for developing a thorough knowledge of the degree requirements within the students’ program of study and a working knowledge of academic options and resources throughout the University. Advisors are expected to involve students by encouraging them to ask questions, gather information and explore options so that they may develop a meaningful academic plan. Advisors will be available to students on a regular basis, monitor their advisees’ progress, assist in considering career options, and make appropriate referrals to other campus offices.
Academic Advising: Assignment of Advisor.
Advisors are assigned at the time of admission to the program. The assigned advisor and their contact information can be found on MySlice > View My Advisor.
...
All Falk College students have an Advising Report online in MySlice under “DegreeWorks”. This report is an advising tool to be used in collaboration with your academic advisor. Students review this report before the advising session to determine which courses have been used to satisfy degree requirements and to develop a plan for future courses to discuss with your academic advisor.
Forms.
Graduate school forms may be downloaded from the Syracuse University Graduate School. The Graduate Program of Study form is to be completed and filed within the first semester of study.

A range of opportunities and awards are available to students in the David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics, providing students with the means to enhance personal, academic, and career growth.
