Non-Degree Visiting Student Application
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Currently accepting applications for Winter 2026, Spring 2026, Summer 2026, and Autumn 2026. 2027 applications will become available in September 2026.
This status is only available to students who are advanced graduate students pursuing a graduate level degree at another academic institution, who are at the research or writing stage, and who have been invited to temporarily work on their research project with a faculty member at the University of Chicago. If you select this type of application, you will be asked to provide information regarding your faculty advisor; you will not be considered for Non-Degree Visiting Student status if you have not been specifically in touch with a University of Chicago faculty member in advance of your application. Questions about this status or the application can be directed to Cathy Mican at ssd-admissions@uchicago.edu.
