Add/Drop Policy

Add/Drop Policy

All course changes must be processed through the Office of the University Registrar (or via Self-Service during the registration periods); students must adhere to the published deadlines referenced in the Academic Calendars found on the University's website (www.lesley.edu). Students wishing to add or drop a course or change course sections must do so during the add/drop periods as outlined below:

• For all standard semester-long courses (15-week courses): Add/drop period ends at 11:59 p.m. on the seventh calendar day from the first day of the semester.
• For all term-based courses (8-week courses): Add/drop period ends at 11:59 p.m. on the seventh calendar day from the first day of the term.

Weekend Intensive Courses
Weekend intensive courses must adhere to either an 8-week or 15-week schedule and abide by the timelines and policies for add/drop, withdrawals, and refunds for that term or semester length. Students who officially drop a course and submit all appropriate forms should reference the refund policy outlined under the Financial Aid, Bills, & Payments section of the website at lesley.edu/students/financial-aid-bills-payments/refund-policies-processes and/or the "Leave of Absence/Withdrawal" section of the catalogs.

Short Courses, Conferences, Workshops & Travel Study

Courses with six or fewer class meetings, J-term courses, travel study courses, workshops (including MTEL workshops) and conferences, must be added or dropped prior to the start date. Once the start date has passed there is no refund.
