For information about our registration policies (audits, waivers, etc.), please see the following drop-down menu items.
You may not audit a course for which you intend to receive academic credit. The decision to take a course for audit or credit is determined at the time of registration and cannot be changed after initial registration.
Although no credit is earned for a class taken as an audit, the cost to audit a course is equivalent to the cost of 1 credit. A grade of “AUD” will appear on the transcript for any course taken on an audit basis.

Includes Hybrid options (a blend of face-to-face and online course meetings). Course sections will start with “HYB.”
Partnerships/teacher residencies meet in assigned locations.
Offerings are limited due to social distancing.
Look for course types: FMT—Face-to-Face or FMT—Hybrid Course.
Synchronous: Attend virtual class meetings held at required scheduled times. Course sections will start with “V.”

Choose the format that works for you this semester.

Not all courses will be offered in all delivery models. Cohort students will take courses together either off-campus or virtually. Please review all course details to learn about the course’s delivery options.
You must register in accordance with F-1 enrollment requirements. Visit the Maintaining Status section of the International Student Services site and contact iss@leley.edu with any questions.
You may be able to waive a course requirement for content you’ve covered in your previous studies. In most cases, you’ll then make up the credits with an elective course selected in consultation with your academic advisor. Contact your academic advisor to initiate the waiver request process.
January Term courses are part of the Spring semester and are open to all College of Liberal Arts and Sciences students who have completed the prerequisites. The credits for these courses go toward the total maximum allotment of 18 credits per semester. If a student is enrolled full-time for the Spring Semester and does not exceed a total of 18 credits for the spring, then there is no additional charge to take a January Term course.
Summer courses are not included in tuition for the academic year.
If you would like to re-enroll to resume your degree program, please complete the Re-Enrollment Form.
If a registration is rejected for any reason (outstanding financial obligations, lack of payment, etc.) notification is mailed to the student. The student may not attend class until the Student Accounts Office has cleared the account and she/he is officially registered.
You may retake a course to improve your GPA. While the grade of the first course will appear on your transcript, only the second grade will be counted toward the number of credits completed and will be used in computing the cumulative average. Students who retake a course are required to re-register and pay for the course.
Lesley University policy does not permit retroactive registration. For on-campus courses, students must register prior to the second class meeting. Students registering for intensive courses (six or fewer class meetings) must do so before the course begins. Off-campus students should consult their site coordinators for registration deadlines.
