Visiting Students

We welcome students who have already begun their college careers at another college or university and who wish to study at Lesley as full-time non-matriculating students for either one or two semesters. In order to continue at Lesley for more than two semesters, a visiting student must complete the transfer application process and be formally admitted into a degree program. To be considered as a visiting student, applicants must complete the Visiting Student Application lesley.edu/visiting-students and submit the following credentials:

• official college transcript from each institution previously attended

• official high school transcript or high school equivalency unless they have earned 24 or more college credits
• personal statement
• students interested in BFA programs in the College of Art and Design must present a digital portfolio of 12-20 pieces
• international students must demonstrate English language proficiency

The preferred deadline for admission as a visiting student for the Fall semester is May 1; the preferred application deadline for visiting students interested in joining us for the Spring semester is December 1. Applications will continue to be accepted after these dates on a space-available basis. Visiting students are not eligible for financial aid.
