How do I register my course
choices?
All taught graduate students select their courses online via
LSEforYou. Step-by-step instructions on how to do this are
available on the 'Selection of Courses' screen.
You will be expected to select courses that are within the
regulations for you degree programme. Information about the
regulations for your degree programme and the courses available to
you are on the web:

What are the deadlines for choosing or
amending my courses?
^
How many courses should I
choose?
As a general rule, Masters students need to take courses to the
value of 4 units in order to obtain their degree, although some
degree programmes do have slightly different requirements.
If you are unsure of how many courses you need to take for your
degree programme, you should ask your department for advice.
You may also wish to consult the regulations for your degree
progamme and the 'course guides' available online (follow the below
link)
http://www.lse.ac.uk/resources/calendar/programmeRegulations/taughtMasters/Default.htm

How do I take a capped course?
^
Do I need to register for compulsory
courses such as a dissertation?
Yes, your dissertation and other compulsory courses MUST
be registered for as they count towards the required four units of
your degree.
If you fail to register for your dissertation, then it won't be
assessed by the School.
^
What does 'auditing' mean?
If you choose to audit a course, this means that you sit in on
the lectures, but do not undertake any assessment for that
course.
If you are a Research/MRes student and wish to audit a course
you can mark it as audit in the final step when composing your
'Student Statement'.
Courses that you have audited will not appear on your results
transcript, and will not count towards your degree.
^
Do I need to register for courses I am
auditing?
For Masters Students: No, you should not register for
courses that you are auditing. Please only register for courses
which you will be assessed in, and which will count towards your
degree.
For MRes/Research Students: Yes you should do so in the last
step of registering a course when composing your Student
Statement.
Masters degrees normally consist of a total of 4 units,
so please ensure that any courses which you are auditing (i.e. not
taking assessments in) are not registered for online.
To check your programme regulations, please follow this web
link:

I'm a part time student - what should I
register for this year?
If you are a first year part time student:
You should only select the courses which you will be studying
for in this academic year. You will be able to register for your
second year courses in the next academic year.
If you are a second year part time student:
Your course choices from year one should now be showing on
LSEforYou, and you should now select your second year courses
only.
^
How do I amend my course
choices?
You can make any amendments to your course choice online, via
LSEforYou.
Select the course that you wish to change, and replace it with
your new selection.
Any changes you make to your selection will default your
approval to 'unapproved' until your department has reviewed and
agreed your new course choices.

course choices?

Why can't I change my courses?
^
I searched for a course at the bottom of
the page using the 'Fetch' button but nothing has been
fetched
You will not be able to see an update to the
page in the following three situations:
- The course you searched is listed in the page; therefore check
the list of courses under ?Add courses?
- You are currently registered for that course; in that case,
verify the list of courses under ?Drop courses?
- You already have a course request for that course, so please
confirm in the ?Capped Course Requests? on the top of the
page.
^
Why can't I drop or select a particular
course?
When Course Choice re-opens for Lent Term
additional restrictions are in place:
Students are unable to select or drop
courses that started in Michaelmas Term. If you have a special
reason to do so you can
contact the Registry.
