Can I Still Apply for 2025-2026?
Yes! You may still be able to apply for Spring 2026 affiliated programs. These programs typically run from January through May (although that varies by program), so students would need to miss both Winter and Spring Terms on campus. Program applications are usually due in September or October, and you would need to apply to study off-campus through our office no later than one month before the program application is due. If you have any questions, please contact us.
Application Deadlines for Off-Campus Study
- November 2025 - Japan Study and Oxford University applications due
- January 2026 - All affiliated program and summer applications due (except Japan Study and Oxford)

Application Process
- Complete the Lawrence Off-Campus Programs application. Go to the Off-Campus Programs Application System and log in with your LU credentials. Complete all forms and submit your application. Note:
- You can save and return to your application as often as needed before submitting.
- You may submit your application even if you are still waiting for faculty recommendations.
- For more information on what the different application components entail, go to our SharePoint Application Information page.
