When Will I Be Able to Access my Course?

Faculty Access: 

Courses are created in myLesley 12 weeks prior to the start date. If you do not see your course in myLesley and it is within the 12 week window, please contact the program scheduler in your department. 

Student Access: 

Students receive access to the course site 8 weeks prior to the start date. 

Please note that myLesley enrollments are updated once per day. If you have just registered for a course today, you may not have access to it until the next day. If you still do not see your course, please contact the Support Hub.

All courses in myLesley are disabled  in the system after a certain time period:

• Undergraduate and Masters' level courses are disabled 2 years from the end date of the course.
