Welcome! The Office of Distance Education is here to assist you through the application process. Before starting the application, prospective applicants should first identify their desired program and keep in mind each individual graduate program and department has their own unique admission requirements, deadlines, review processes and decision timelines.
-
Complete Application - Please use the Graduate Online Application. When selecting your program of study, please be sure that the program name includes "(Distance)" or "(Distance Only)".
-
Submit Transcripts - You must submit transcripts from each of your degree-bearing colleges or universities, and each transcript must indicate what degree you received and when it was conferred. If you are in the process of completing a degree, you may submit an up-to-date transcript with your online application, followed by a final, official transcript upon enrollment as a Lehigh University graduate student. To expedite the process, unofficial transcripts may be uploaded with your online application, to be followed as soon as possible by an official one.
-
Mailed transcripts should be sent in a sealed envelope from the institution directly to the department of the program that you are applying to.
-
-
The TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) is required for all applicants whose native language is not English. If the applicant received a degree in the United States this test is waived. The TOEFL report is only valid for two years from the date the test was taken. We use the totals from the most recent test scores taken, if taken more than one time.
-
Complete Application - Please use the Graduate Online Application. When selecting your certificate program or non-degree program, please be sure that the program name includes "(Distance)" or "(Distance Only) ".
-
Submit Transcripts (Official or Unofficial) - You must submit transcripts from last colleges or university, or an official letter stating you are in good standing in a acceptable graduate program. To expedite the process, unofficial transcripts may be uploaded with your online application, to be followed as soon as possible by an official one.
-
Mailed transcripts should be sent in a sealed envelope from the institution directly to the department of the program that you are applying to.

Credit Limitations
Students may take a maximum of twelve graduate level credits under non-degree status – at which time a change to Degree seeking status would be required.
Changing from Non-Degree to a Degree Program
Non-degree students wishing to seek admission to a degree program must meet all regular admissions program requirements and will need to officially apply by completing the Graduate Online Application as normally required of degree-seeking applicants.
Courses taken by a non-degree student who later enters a degree program will count toward the completion of the program to the extent that they fall within the normal requirements of the program and to the extent that the student's performance in the course(s) is acceptable for degree program purposes. Any course which is counted toward the completion of a degree must be completed within the established time limits for that degree, whether taken initially as a degree or non-degree course.
