Declaring Pre-Health Advising

Pre-Health Advising serves all undergraduate students at Syracuse University.

Starting in 2024, to be officially assigned to a Pre-Health advisor students must meet eligibility requirements:

• Declare a major
• Complete one year at Syracuse University
• Have a cumulative GPA of a 3.0
• Complete a minimum of 8 credits of biology, chemistry, physics, or math (BCPM) coursework with a minimum 3.0 BCPM GPA

Students submit their Pre-Health Advising Declaration form in MySlice under the eForms tab.

Students with declared majors in the College of Arts and Sciences who declare pre-health advising will be assigned a pre-health advisor their sophomore year. They will be notified by email that their advisor has changed. Their pre-health advisor serves as an academic and career advisor and is responsible for assisting with registration, processing university forms, and graduation requirements in addition to pre-health advising.

Students in other schools or colleges at Syracuse University who declare pre-health advising will be assigned to a pre-health advisor who will serve as a supplemental advisor focusing on pre-health requirements only.

Maintaining Pre-Health Advising

To maintain their pre-health advising declaration students must have a 3.0 cumulative and science GPA. If a student drops below these requirements, they receive a pre-health warning and are required to meet with their pre-health advisor to discuss a success plan. After one semester, if their cumulative and science GPA do not meet requirements, they are removed from pre-health advising and reassigned to another academic and career advisor.
