Registering After Coursework

• In Year 3, when you have completed coursework and are taking your exams, you will register for three hours of CCR 887 (Doctoral Readings) in the fall and six hours of CCR 999 (Dissertation) in the spring.
• In Years 4+ that you hold a TAship, RAship, or Fellowship, you will register for GRD 998 (Degree in Progress)  every semester until you graduate in order to remain an active student at Syracuse University. 
• In Years 6+ if you do not hold a TAship, RAship, or Fellowship, you will need register for GRD 998 and also submit a Full-Time Status form in order to be considered a full time, student. This form can be found on the Graduate Student Information Hub, Frequently Accessed Form and Guidelines,  and on the Forms page.

Deadlines

• Please note the deadline to submit this registration and, if necessary, your Full-Time Status Form is 5:00pm on the day of the add deadline for each Fall and Spring semester. Please refer to the Academic Calendar for exact dates. All full-time students are subject to the health insurance requirement.  Per Grad School policy, failure to register on time will result in students possibly being discontinued, accountable to pay for tuition or loans, and submitting petition forms to add late class to the registar's office. The registar's office may have reason to deny your request. The CCR office will send email reminders to make sure students are aware of deadlines. If you have any questions feel free to reach out to the Graduate Program Coordinator or the DGS.
