Special and visiting students

Brandeis University accepts as special students for the fall and spring semesters a small number of individuals who are not candidates for a degree at Brandeis and who wish to elect one or more courses for which they are qualified and can demonstrate special need. This  includes students who are degree candidates at another college or university wishing to attend Brandeis as visiting students. 

Special-student status is subject to approval on an individual and semester basis. Students whose academic performance does not meet Brandeis standards may be denied permission to register for a second semester.

Persons interested in special-student status should apply by April 1 for the fall semester and by Nov. 1 for the spring semester.

The application can be accessed here.
