Registration Instructions

As you begin planning for the upcoming semester, we’d like to remind you that advisors are available to assist you. Please consult the advising schedule on the front cover or contact the MBA Office at 215-951-1057 to set up a phone or in-person appointment.

ID Number

You must use your La SalleUniversity ID number for web access. Your ID number is on your registration form.

Web

Web registration is still the fastest and most efficient way to register! You can insure your spot in a class immediately by using the web system and instructions on how to use it are on your form.

Fax

Please fax your registration ONLY if the web process does not work for you. It typically takes 7-10 days for a fax registration to be processed and, if a class closes during that time, we cannot guarantee you a spot in the class.

The MBA Office fax number is 215-951-1886. If you fax your registration to the number printed on the form, this will delay processing even further.

Important Notes

Check prerequisites carefully before registering for a course.
Register early to hold your spot in a class!
Some classes have a special schedule and these details are listed in the notes. Please read these carefully!
If you decide not to take a class for which you have registered, you must drop it before noon on January 23 to obtain a full refund. (Intersession courses must be dropped by December 17, 2005).
Your invoice is confirmation of your course registration.
If you have a question about registration, please call the MBA Office at 215-951-1057.
