Re-Enrollment Form

  • Enrollment Verification
  • Graduation, Diplomas, and Transcripts
  • Name and Address Changes

    Address Changes

    Let us know right away of any change in your address by completing our interactive electronic Change of Address Form [requires login].

    For students enrolled in licensure programs and changing location to a new state: Please visit our Licensure and Credentialing Information web page. Review the document regarding your specific program. Lesley University uses your "Local Address" to determine the location for licensure disclosure purposes. If you do not report a local address, we then use your "Permanent Address."

    Name Changes

    To report a name change, submit a Student Change of Name Form by creating a ticket on the Support Hub.

    Current Students:

    A name-change request must be accompanied by legal documentation, such as a court order or marriage license. The name change will be reflected on the student record, and a reference to the former name will be maintained for search purposes only.

    Alumni:

    Name changes for alumni are handled as follows, concerning transcripts and diplomas:

    • For a name change after graduation from Lesley, legal documentation, such as a court order or marriage license, must be provided.
    • The name under which the student graduated from Lesley will remain on the transcript, with the exception of a former student who has undergone gender reassignment.
    • If it’s necessary to verify your credentials for another party, we suggest you provide that party with the same documentation of the name change you are providing to Lesley.
    • If you’d like an updated copy of the diploma, include with your name-change documentation a check for $50, a signed copy of the Diploma Reprint Request (PDF) form, and either the original diploma or a notarized statement that the original diploma has been lost or destroyed.


    Your new diploma may look quite different from your original.

    A statement will be included with the new diploma, indicating that it is a reissue and including the former name.

    • Independent Study Course Contract [Please contact your program for more information]
      The option to design and complete a suitable independent project that does not duplicate an existing course offering is available in most degree programs. Students wishing to register for an Independent Study must first obtain a faculty sponsor. Once a sponsor is acquired, an Independent Study Course Contract is completed by the sponsoring faculty member in consultation with the student and departmental leadership. After approval, the contract is then forwarded to the Office of the University Registrar by the student for processing. Faculty and staff, please note that the Independent Study Course Contract may be accessed via the Lesley Faculty Sharepoint folder.

    • Study Abroad Course Approval [Please contact your academic advisor for more information]
      For recording how your study abroad courses will count toward your degree requirements. Requires approval by Academic Advising, Financial Aid, and the Study Abroad Office.
