Visiting Student Research Collaborator
A visiting student research collaborator is an advanced degree candidate at another institution who applies to come to Princeton as a short-term, non-degree student to work with a specific Princeton faculty member on a research project that grows out of a specific collaboration or mutual research interest. Such students may visit for as little as one month or as long as (but no longer than) 12 months. The visitor, or the faculty member whose laboratory the student is visiting, is charged reduced, prorated tuition and fees. Visiting student research collaborators may not take courses for credit or receive a University transcript. The department chair and the Graduate School must approve these appointments.
The Graduate School participates in a number of formal reciprocal exchange programs where students may visit Princeton University as non-degree candidates for a period of one term or one year, and Princeton University students may visit other institutions.
