All students must be authorized to register each semester.  Students declared in online programs can only register in sessions that begin with ELearn.  ELearn1 is the first half of the semester, ELearn2 is the last half of the semester, ELearn0 matches the full semester start and end dates.

After you have your welcome call, you can get your class schedule/register for classes in one of the following three ways:

1. Self-Register: Check Degree Navigator (Communicator) or watch email for notification of course recommendations put in Degree Navigator. If you are comfortable with the recommendations, you can register yourself. If you encounter issues, email online@lsua.edu.

2. Meet with Your Advisor: Your assigned advisor’s contact info is in MyLSUA. Schedule an appointment via their Bookings link. If their calendar is full, choose a group session by completing the Group Scheduling Sign-up Form and choose a session at least 24 hours in advance of the session date/time. You will receive course recommendations, registration authorization, and overrides if needed.

Summer and fall registration typically opens in March, Spring registration typically opens in October.

The Registration deadline for all 7 week classes is 1 week prior to the first day of class. This allows you to get textbooks ordered and be ready for a successful term. It is recommended you register for the entire semester, as billing generates on an entire semester as opposed to sessions ELearn1 and ELearn2.
