The Lesley Office of International Student Services (ISS) provides specialized services to international students wishing to study in F-1 status. ISS collaborates with administrative and academic departments to create a welcoming and inclusive campus environment. The office is here to support students from the admissions process through graduation, and beyond. Check the menu options on this page for information on how to apply for the Lesley Form I-20 and all F-1 compliance related information, for incoming and current international student support. Contact iss@lesley.edu with all F-1/I-20-related questions.

International students on the Lesley Form I-20/F-1 sponsorship must always comply with the F-1 regulations. The Lesley I-20 only permits academic study of Lesley University coursework. It does not permit coursework outside of Lesley, including that from online schools.

International students not sponsored by the Lesley F-1 program should consult with their immigration attorney on compliance questions specific to their status. It is the international student’s responsibility to maintain legal non-immigrant status.
