New Students Portal... entering class of Fall 2009
Congratulations! We are pleased that you decided to study International Relations (IR) at the Maxwell School. The IR Staff designed this site with the needs of new students in mind. As many of you are traveling around the globe this summer and are in need of rapid information, we decided that communication between us could best be delivered electronically. Instead of the typical paper mailings, you will find all the information you require about the IR Program and life in Syracuse right here. Please use the right-hand navigation menu to browse the site.
Allow us to highlight a few items of importance. The second menu option to the right offers a to-do list, which spells out the steps you need to take before beginning the program. Please review this list thoroughly. The third menu option is an academic advising memo that should help you to better understand the curriculum and the choices you face in your first semester at Maxwell. It also outlines the registration process, which begins before you arrive - on August 1st. Thereafter, you will find pertinent information concerning orientation, the academic calendar, courses, global programs, the IR Staff, life on campus as well as in Syracuse, University resources, and much more.
Allow us to highlight some dates of importance:
- 3 Aug: Online registration for fall 2009
- 23 Aug: International student orientation
- 24-26 Aug: MAIR Orientation, 225 Eggers
- 24-28 Aug: Academic advising, 225 Eggers
- 31 Aug: First day of classes
Please review this website carefully. If you cannot find the answers to your questions online, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to welcoming you to the IR Program!
