Applying to Haverford: Guest Student Admission
If you would like to attend Haverford full time for one semester or a full year as a non-degree-seeking student, you may apply to be a Guest Student.
Please read the following information before printing and completing the Guest Student application.
Eligibility
A student is eligible to be a guest student if at least one year has been completed as a full-time student at a college or university. Please note that the Guest Student program is not intended as a gateway to transfer admission. Guest Students are not given any preferential consideration in the transfer admission process, which is extremely competitive. (Please see our transfer page for more information.)
First-Year, Transfer, and Special Applicants
If you want to be a First-Year Student, a Transfer Student (fall only), or take an occasional class as a Special Student, you must use a different application for admission.
International Applicants
If English is not your first language, we recommend that you take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) – Haverford Code #2289. Please see www.toefl.org for more information.
Campus Housing
Campus housing is not guaranteed, but may be possible depending on the space available. If campus housing is required in order for you to enroll, please let us know on the application.
