Find a course section
Log into your Lesley University Self-Service account and select "Course Catalog" under the "Academics" menu on the left sidebar to search for courses. After receiving your search results, you can view more information and add the course to your schedule by selecting "View Available Sections for {Course}" and clicking on the name of the section.

Add a section to your schedule
If you would like to add a course section to your schedule, click "Add Section to Schedule" or "Add", depending on whether you are in Catalog Listing or Section Listing. After choosing to add a course, the section details will be displayed in a pop-up window, where you will then select the grading scheme from the options allowed by the course. By default, "Graded" will be selected. Once you are ready, click "Add Section". You will not be registered for this course yet but will be able to view it on your schedule before performing the final registration.
View your schedule
Select "Register for Classes/View Schedule" under the "Academics" menu to view your current schedule(s). The course section(s) that you added in the previous step will be in yellow and the course sections that you are already enrolled in will be in green.
Register for your sections
If you would like to enroll in a course section, select "Register for Section" on that particular section to the left of your schedule. If you have multiple new courses on your schedule that you are not yet enrolled in, you can select "Register for Section(s) Now" near the top right of your schedule to register for all of them at once.
If a course you'd like to register for is closed and you want to join the waitlist, please consult our waitlist instructions.
Remember: You must complete a Financial Responsibility Agreement/Enrollment Agreement on the Lesley University Self-Service portal before registering for courses. You can read about the Financial Responsibility Agreement/Enrollment Agreement in the Financial Responsibility Agreement article.
