Start strong to finish strong.
Many students believe taking a lighter course load makes for an easier path to academic success. It's true that 12 credit hours per semester is the minimum to maintain full-time student status, but having even one semester of only 12 credits could delay your ability to graduate in four years.
At Syracuse University, we've launched 15 to Finish, an initiative that encourages students who are able to take at least 15 credits each semester. Since most academic programs require between 120-128 credits, registering for at least 15 credit hours per semester keeps you on track for graduation - saving you time and money.

Students for Community Safety Services
Department of Public Safety
Students for Community Safety (SCS) has various programs under the supervision of Department of Public Safety (DPS). Operating out of Watson hall, SCS oversees the Residential Security Program and the Safety Escort Programs.
Residential Security Program
The primary responsibility of the RSA is to monitor and control access to residence halls by checking the identification of all persons entering the residence halls, and signing in visitors and guests who are escorted by a hall resident. RSAs control access to the halls, ensure that only residents and staff are permitted access to the hall during restricted hours.
Safety Escort Programs
DPS provides shuttle escorts and walking escorts to ensure that members of the campus community arrive safely to their destinations. They provide a walking escort service, Shuttle-U-Home program, and the Shuttle 44 service.
