Graduate Student Handbooks: The Orange Books
Available to you in the Office of Academic and Student Services or on the web are the Orange Books, which are our graduate student handbooks for the School of Education. They are intended to provide a general overview of our graduate degree programs. Further University policy specifics on graduate study may be found in the publication, Syracuse University Bulletin: Academic Rules and Regulations, available at the Graduate School, 303 Bowne Hall or at the Registrar's Office, 106 Steele Hall. It is important that you familiarize yourself with both of these documents. Although respective School of Education program areas have information on their own specific degree requirements, there are many commonalities which are addressed in these handbooks.
