Students who choose to submit SAT or ACT scores may share either self-reported or official scores. Students who self-report their scores will not be required to submit official score reports unless they are admitted and choose to enroll.
To self-report your test scores, you may do so via the Common Application or Coalition Application. Please submit your scores exactly as you receive them and we will superscore them.
To share your official SAT or ACT scores, please use the following codes:
You will receive an email confirmation from the University once your application is received. This can take up to 3-4 days from the time you submit your application. Once we process your application you will receive an email from Syracuse University with a temporary PIN and link to access your Syracuse University Applicant Portal. You will be able to check your application status via your portal. If you have not received confirmation after two weeks, you are welcome to email orange@syr.edu to have someone in the office check for you. Please note: Syracuse University will begin uploading applications from the Common Application and Scoir in early September. If you submit your application prior to Sept. 1, it may be a few weeks before you receive confirmation.
