Address Changes

It is each student's responsibility to notify the Registrar's Office of any change of name or address, so we can reach each registered student.

• Let us know right away of any change in your address by completing our interactive electronic Change of Address Form at http://lesley.edu/forms/address-change. You’ll log in with your Lesley University username and password.

• For students enrolled in licensure programs and changing location to a new state: Please visit our Licensure and Credentialing Information page at https://lesley.edu/about/accreditations-state-approvals/licensure-and-credentialing-information. Review the licensure information for students and applicants document regarding your specific program. Lesley University uses your "Local Address" to determine location for licensure disclosure purposes. If you do not report a local address, we then use your "Permanent Address."

Name Changes

All name changes must be requested in a paper letter or on the Change of Name form (https://www.lesley.edu/registrar/forms). Email requests are not accepted. A name change request must be accompanied by legal documentation, such as a court order or marriage license.
