Lehman College welcomes undergraduate students to apply as either visiting students or non-degree students.

What is the difference?

Visiting students are currently matriculated at another college and are not enrolled in a degree program at Lehman College. They may take courses at Lehman College and transfer the credits back to their home institution.

Non-degree students are not currently matriculated at a college and wish to take courses at Lehman College to fulfill prerequisites or introductory course requirements for another program, or to gain specific skills in their field without pursuing a full degree program.

Application Dates

The Undergraduate Non-Degree/Visiting Application is available during the following periods:

Summer and Fall: Application opens March 1 and closes two days before the end of late registration.
Winter and Spring: Application opens October 1 and closes two days before the end of late registration.

To access the Undergraduate Non-Degree/Visiting Application, please visit CUNYfirst and follow the instructions to apply. You will be able to upload a copy of your most recent transcript for review as part of the application process.

Admission requirements for non-degree and visiting students are the same as those for degree-seeking students. Course registration is subject to space availability.

Non-degree and visiting students are charged non-degree tuition and fees.

For additional information, contact the Office of Admissions at undergraduate.nondegree@lehman.cuny.edu.

Students who previously attended Lehman College in a non-degree status and now wish to pursue a degree program must file a Transfer Application and submit official transcript(s) from all college(s)/institution(s) attended.

Students currently pursuing a degree at another CUNY college who wish to take a credit bearing course at Lehman are exempt from the application processing fee. They must submit an e-permit via CUNYfirst account. Tuition for courses taken at Lehman is paid at the student's primary college after the student has registered at both institutions. Detailed information about filing a CUNY e-permit is available here.
