Unless a second group begins in the same program at a site, a course will not be repeated. As far as we know, no student has failed to graduate as a result of missing a class or part of a class because of an emergency. This is reflected in the fact that Lesley programs historically have a high graduation rate. When a student must miss a class or part of a class because of circumstances beyond his or her control, that student is directed to work with the instructor of the course and their faculty advisor to find a satisfactory solution. In all but the accelerated and online programs, each three credit course is scheduled around two weekends, separated by two to four weeks, with students attending class on Friday evening and during the day on Saturday and Sunday.
Students register for a course two weeks prior to the first weekend of class.
Assignments, readings, and other activities are delivered to students prior to the class. Students are usually expected to complete assignments prior to the first class session, between the class sessions, and after the last session. Students can register and pay tuition for one class at a time. Students on financial aid must register according to loan requirements. Information about registration is sent to students in advance of registration dates.
