*Transfer applications will be accepted on a space available basis after November 15 for spring enrollment. Although the transfer application deadline for the fall semester is July 1, we encourage you to apply earlier. The earlier you apply, the earlier you will be notified. It is in your best interest to apply earlier for the fall semester as transfer students are admitted on a rolling basis beginning in late February and some programs are limited in space.
**Specific event dates and further instructions on submitting your portfolio/audition are available on the VPA website. Please note that an audition is not required if you are applying to the Bandier Program for Music and Entertainment Industries in the Setnor School of Music. If you have further questions please contact the College of Visual and Performing Arts at admissu@syr.edu or 315.443.2769.
*** For further instructions on submitting your architecture portfolio please visit the School of Architecture website.
****In-person portfolio submission at January NPD events in CA and FL will be considered on time.
