Registration Process:
Registrations are considered on a first-come, first-served basis. Students are notified by mail or email of their enrollment. If a summer offering is oversubscribed, a waiting list is established, and applicants are notified by telephone as soon as space becomes available.

Lesley University reserves the right to cancel under-enrolled courses and programs. Students are notified of cancellations as early as possible so that they can register for other courses.

Tuition Refunds:
Non-credit tuition refunds vary. Please check details with specific contact person.

Tuition Policy for Lesley Staff:
Full and part-time employees are eligible to receive tuition remission for workshops, seminars, and institutes offered at Lesley University. While the University offers these courses for credit and non-credit, they will count toward the applicable credit limit. In the case where credit is optional, the employee will be required to take the course for credit and this credit will count toward the maximum yearly credit limit. Non-credit tuition reductions vary. Please check details with specific contact person. Spouses and dependents are not eligible for tuition remission benefits for non-degree programs, however some offerings provide an employee family discount rate of 10%. Refer to the Human Resources website for the complete policy.

Financial Aid:
For accepted students: If you have financial aid questions, please contact the Financial Aid office at 617.349.8581 or visit the Financial Aid website.

Tuition Discounts/Alumni Discount:
Lesley University and Art Institute of Boston alumni are entitled to a 10% reduction in tuition for any on-campus summer program that has a full tuition rate. The alumni discount is only applicable when the Alumni Discount Request Form is submitted each semester or by permission of Student Financial Services. Students who graduated from 1989 forward do not need to complete this form as they are already coded as alumni on the University computer system, but should indicate on their registration their Lesley University dates of attendance and program of study.

Academic Policies: The Lesley University academic policies and procedures stated on this site apply to all students. Students are not exempt from them because of failure to read or understand them and/or misinformation received from other sources.
