Admitted Doctor of Professional Studies Students

Welcome and congratulations!

Congratulations on Your Admission to the Doctor of Professional Studies in Information Management Program at Syracuse University’s iSchool!

Admitted DPS Student Checklist

You will receive an official admission notification from Syracuse University via email. To keep track of your application status or upload any additional materials, please ensure you have access to our Application Portal. Once logged in, you can check all updates regarding your application, including the admission decision once it’s made.

Review the admission letter carefully to understand the terms and conditions of your admission.

Log in to your application portal to complete all necessary steps.

  • Locate and complete the Admission Acceptance Form provided within the portal. This form signifies your intent to accept the admission offer.
  • In the same application status portal, find the option to submit the $500 Graduate Tuition Deposit. This deposit may be required to secure your place in the program and is typically non-refundable.
  • Once your Admission Acceptance Form and Graduate Deposit have been completed and submitted, you will be matriculated.

By the end of their first semester of study, all graduate students must submit an official transcript, bearing the appropriate signatures and seal from the issuing institution, directly to Syracuse University in a sealed envelope. Unsealed documents, which may have been in the hands of students, are not considered official.
