You can find the link to those applications through the program's website page (linked from our Approved Programs list). If you have any questions, please contact OffCampusPrograms@lawrence.edu.

Eligibility

  • Any student who will have sophomore status at the time of their off-campus program is invited to apply. Please note that some programs may impose their own class standing requirements.
  • Students must be in good academic standing and able to pass a conduct review. Additionally, students on academic or disciplinary probation in the term prior to their program will not be allowed to participate regardless of their standing at the time of application.
  • Student's proposed off-campus program must not stand in the way of student's degree progression.
  • Student must show academic preparedness for program; any pre-requisites must be met.

Applying to Off-Campus Programs

  • Go to the Off-Campus Programs Application System and complete an application. You will need your LU credentials to log on to the site. You can save and return to your application as often as needed before submitting.
  • For more information on what the different application components entail, go to our SharePoint Application Information page.
  • Most programs require a second application through the third-party program provider. Deadlines vary by program. More information can be found through the programs' information pages (linked from our Approved Programs list).
  • London Centre and Senegal programs only require one application - as they are Lawrence-run programs.
