Registering for Classes

Because of the University’s obligations under federal financial aid regulations, as well as regulations for students receiving tuition benefits through the military or employer tuition benefits, that students are required to self-register for classes.

  • On campus students will receive an email from the Office of the Registrar of the dates for Intersession/Spring and or Summer/Fall registration.
  • On campus students must obtain a registration term PIN from your graduate program mentor in order to self-register.
  • Online students will receive an email with their PIN along with a program newsletter explaining the online self-registration process.
  • If you are unable to register yourself due to a course restriction, please reach out to the Graduate Program Director or the Coordinator of LCHS Graduate Academic Services.

The course schedules are listed on the Registrar's webpage. Click on Course Search by Term on the left. You can find courses by subject, course number, instructor or educational level.

Web registration allows you to add, drop or review your courses as many times as necessary to complete, print, or change your schedule. There is no time limit on your registration session, however, the system will log off after five minutes of inactivity.

Standards of Progress for Graduate Students

Grade Requirements

All graduate students must have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.00 in order to graduate with a master's or doctoral degree. They must also maintain a cumulative graduate GPA of 3.00 to remain in good standing.

Graduate students should also refer to their program's student handbook, since individual programs may have GPA higher standards as well as course-specific grade requirements.


Academic Probation and Dismissal

  • A graduate student whose cumulative GPA falls between a 3.00 and a 2.00 will be placed on academic probation.
  • Students on academic probation are required to earn a cumulative graduate GPA of at least 3.00 within the next three courses taken (normally nine hours of course work) in order to remain in good academic standing. Failure to fulfill this expectation may result in dismissal.
  • Although there are no set limits on the number of courses a graduate student may take in a semester while on academic probation, it is imperative that the student recognizes the need for improved academic performance in order to regain the minimum graduate GPA of 3.00 within the next three courses.
  • A graduate student whose cumulative graduate GPA falls below a 2.00 will be subject to dismissal.
