Before you start your Spring 2015 course registration, please have the following information available:

  1. Approved Program of Study form (previously sent via email)
  2. Five-digit CRN for courses

Step-by-step instructions for students in the MA, MFA, MMus, MSc, and PhD programs are outlined in the Registration Guide

 

Opting-out of the U-Pass Program:

The U of L graduate program includes students that are not on campus, and thus could not benefit from the U-Pass program. For this reason, a set of criteria have been agreed upon to allow these students to voluntarily opt-out of the program. More

 
 

Course Changes

Students in the MA, MFA, MMus, MSc, and PhD programs are no longer required to use the Request for Course Change form to make changes to the Approved Program of Study form.

All course additions and deletions must be discussed with and approved by the Supervisor prior to registering in Spring 2015 courses.

Any changes to the Approved Program of Study form must be included in your next Progress & Standing report presented to Supervisory Committee Members and appear on the signed Progress & Standing form that is submitted to SGS.
