CREDIT OPTION REGISTRATION PROCESS AND FORMS

1) REGISTRATION

The partner representative or instructor is responsible for registering students before or at the first class meeting. The student fills out and signs the registration form. The partner representative or instructor should sign each registration form, and give the gold copy to the student.

A check for tuition is made out to Lesley University. If paying by credit card, the student must fill out and sign a credit card authorization form.

II) TUITION

Credit Option tuition is $150 per credit. It’s recommended that the student call the Division of Continuing Education at 617.349.8609 or 617.349.8298 if there are questions about a partner’s tuition rate. There is a $30 registration fee per course, except when students are registering for multiple courses at the same time.

III) REGISTRATION FORMS SUBMISSION

The partner representative must mail or fax the class list, registration forms, and checks or credit card authorization forms to:

• Division of Continuing Education
  Lesley University
  29 Everett Street
  Cambridge, MA 02138
• Fax: 617.349.8335

NOTE: WGBH Teachers’ Domain and Jason Academy students should mail their registration forms and checks or credit card authorization forms to the above address.

IV) CHECK PROCEDURES

Lesley will automatically re-deposit any returned checks for payment of a student account. A $50 Returned Check Fee will be charged to the student account after the re-deposit attempt. Should a check be returned due to bank error, a letter from the bank will allow the University to accept personal checks and remove the returned check fee from the student’s account.

V) REFUNDS

A student must formally notify the Continuing Education Office by phone or in-person if they wish to drop a credit option course.

The following schedule is used to determine the portion of tuition which will be refunded depending upon the date of formally withdrawing from a course.

• Prior to the start of the class - 100%
• During the 1st week of classes - 100%
• During the 2nd week of classes - 100%
• During the 3rd week of classes - 50%
• During the 4th week of classes - 25%
• After the end of the 4th week of classes - 0%

For travel study courses, courses with six or fewer meetings, and conferences, there is a 100% refund if the course is dropped prior to the start of classes. Once the class has begun, there is no refund.

The actual percentage will depend on the official date of formal withdrawal. The credit option student must formally notify the Division of Continuing Education of the intention to withdraw from a course.

The registration fee will not be refunded.

VI) GRADES

Grades will be mailed to students shortly after the grades are received from the faculty.
