Checklist for Entering Transfer Students

• Submit online Intent to Register form and seat deposit in the amount of $1,000 (Due by advance deposit date listed on the Intent to Register form within your admission packet).
• The College of Law requires a digital photo of yourself for use in your permanent file and for the creation of your SU Student ID Card. Please send your photo in digital format to admissions@law.syr.edu, by July 1st , and include your name in the subject line of your email. Photos MUST be in .jpeg format and no more than 2 MB. Your photo should also be a high quality, clear photo with a plain background, a front view of your whole face, with no others in the photo, taken within the last three months, and taken without a hat or dark glasses.

• Purchase textbooks and parking permit (both can also be done during orientation).
