Incoming Exchange Student Status
First, let’s quickly review what it means to be an incoming exchange student: Syracuse University maintains exchange agreements with many universities around the world – and if you’re a student at one of those schools, you can come to Syracuse University as an exchange student.
Your first step is to work with the international office at your home university, as your nomination is required before Syracuse can consider you here. Once your nomination is forwarded to Syracuse University, you may complete the Syracuse University Exchange Student Application Form on the Applications Details page.
As an exchange student, you will pay no tuition fees to Syracuse University, however, there may be fees you pay to your home university, and you will need to pay other non-tuition fees. This is explained in our frequently asked questions about exchange programs.
