SUPA Registration Overview

Students complete the online registration (link to registration portal), choosing the class or classes they want to register for to receive Syracuse University credit.

Students then print the completed online application and have a parent or guardian sign it, thereby acknowledging financial responsibility. The application will reflect the amount owed based on the course(s) chosen, at a rate of $115 per credit hour. Students will not be fully registered for the course until they have made full payment by the payment deadline!

All registration will be online for the foreseeable future! Please see the steps below that include how to sign your application electronically if you do not have access to a printer.
