Visiting Student Policies
Academic Credit
- Visiting students may not receive both compensation and elective credit for the same clinical elective experience
- The visiting student's stay at the University will in no way constitute matriculation at the University of Chicago
- The visiting student must arrange to receive academic credit from the parent institution for work completed at the University of Chicago, Pritzker School of Medicine.
Fees
Visiting students may stay eight weeks without charge. If additional elective experience(s) are desired beyond the two months, the visiting student must apply for extended privileges and will incur tuition charges of $3, 736 per additional four week period. Visiting students may stay a maximum of sixteen weeks.

Visiting students must be proficient in English and able to conduct oral examinations.

Once accepted for an elective, the visiting student is expected to honor that commitment. Notification of withdrawal must be made in writing by letter or email to the Pritzker School of Medicine, no later than 4 weeks prior to the start of the clerkship.
