Please consult the Walden residencies website for residency / lab / intensive fees specific to your program. Residency / lab / intensive fees are billed in the term of the event/course and collected in accordance with the university’s billing cycle. Fees for events occurring outside the 48 contiguous U.S. states vary based on location and are higher.

Non-U.S. citizens must comply with the U.S. Department of State requirement for international student travel to academic events in the United States. Please refer to the Form I-20 website for policy and process information and begin the I-20 process immediately. If you fail to comply with this policy and attempt to attend a U.S. residency without the proper documentation, you will be denied entry to your U.S. event. Please click the International Students at the left for more information.

Walden University embodies a culturally and spiritually diverse community, and recognizes that, on occasion, certain members will observe practices that preclude them from attending to their regular duties. Students who are unable to participate fully in an academic event on a particular day during the calendared event dates for reasons of religious observance (e.g., Sabbath, Friday Prayers) must complete the Religious Observance Form and return it to Academic Residencies within three weeks of the start of the event.

Walden University makes every effort to provide options for Religious Observation for its students. To avoid possible scheduling conflicts, students are encouraged to review the calendar carefully. Please note that some academic events are scheduled during weekdays to reduce religious conflicts.

Walden Policy: If you have religious traditions that may conflict with the requirements of the academic event (i.e. missing a day of sessions), you are required to complete additional assignments to make up for the session(s)/day(s) missed. Please email Academic Residencies at academicresidencies@mail.waldenu.edu at least two months in advance of the event to discuss religious accommodations.

Qualified students should contact Walden University's Student Wellness and Disability Services at disability@mail.waldenu.edu at least 30 days prior to the start date to discuss assistance for the event. Requests received with less than 30 days’ notice will be honored; however, will be addressed as time allows.  Therefore, necessary accommodations, services, or equipment may not be available by the event start date.

Accommodations for face-to-face events may include:

• Renting specialized equipment, such as electric scooters and Hoyer Lifts, for transportation from wheelchair to bed or bath.
• Coordinating arrangements with nearby dialysis centers.
• Hiring local service providers, such as sight guides, sign language interpreters, or captionists.

Students who do not have documented disabilities but have difficulty walking, asthma, or any other condition that impacts mobility are also encouraged to contact the Student Wellness and Disability Services.
