Course Selection and Timetables

You can select a course on LSE for You as follows: 

1. Log into LSE for You using your LSE username and password.

2. Expand the 'Graduate Course Choice' option in the left hand menu and select 'Graduate Course Choice - Student'.

3. Click on the 'select or drop courses | accept or decline offers | withdraw requests' button.

4. Select courses from the available options, including compulsory courses for your programme. 

5. If a course that you wish to take is not listed then type the course code (e.g. AB456) into the box at the bottom of the listed options and click "Fetch".

6. If you have chosen a non-compulsory controlled access (capped) course, you will be asked to enter a statement in support of your application if required. Not all courses need a statement; you can find out if a statement is required by visiting controlled access courses.

7. You will also be given the opportunity to enter a "supporting statement" in support of your selected courses. 

Yes you are strongly recommended to enter a statement if required especially if your selected course falls outside of your regulations for your programme

As mentioned above, some departments have capped courses, which means that places on these courses will be limited. These courses are offered on a first come first served basis and as soon as the number of students registered reaches the capped number, the status of these courses will change to "full" and no one else will be able to select them.

Wait for your requests to take controlled access capped course(s) to be considered by the teaching department(s). You will be notified by email when the Department makes a decision.  If the Department chooses to offer you a place then you will have to accept that offer before you will be enrolled on the course. Act quickly - offers expire after 48 hours!

Other courses do not require confirmation. 

Yes but only if you are applying for capped or controlled access courses. If you intend to use an offer to replace another course you are registered for, you must withdraw from that course before you accept the new offer, to ensure that you do not exceed the maximum number of units your programme regulations allow you to take.

Yes during the first two weeks of term, you should watch the online lectures of any courses in the School in which you are interested in so you do not miss anything. 

No you are not allowed to just sit in lectures.
 
You may wish to ‘shop around’ to get a ‘flavour’ of some courses before making your final course choices. Due to social distancing requirements, all MT lectures will be online and seminar/class sizes this year are extremely limited and only students formally enrolled on the course can attend in person, and only the class/seminar group which they are allocated to.  

To ‘flavour’ a course before your final choice being made, you may be allowed to watch some of the online lectures of courses in the School where such facilities are being offered by the relevant Department, but you may not normally attend seminars/classes (either in-person or online) if you are not registered for the relevant course (i.e., it is not on your list of selected courses on LSE for You). This is particularly important for in-person seminars/classes where social distancing and track and trace policies need to be in place to maintain the safety of the LSE community. Please contact the relevant Department administrators (e.g., Programme Managers, Course Managers) to discuss how to access the online material of courses you are ‘flavouring’ if it is needed.

Students who try to attend in-person and online seminars/classes where they are not enrolled will be asked to leave.

Any course taken outside of your programme regulations will require permission from your Academic Mentor and the Course Teacher.

Note: MSc Accounting and Finance students are allowed to select up to one unit outside of the regulations for your programme.

You will be assigned to an Academic Mentor by 21 September.

Some departments allocate students to seminars, and some departments will allow students to sign themselves up to seminars. You can see which method is used for each of your registered courses in the seminar sign-up system in LSE for You.

You can use seminar sign-up once you have signed up for a course and the department responsible has made the course available for seminar sign up. 

Seminar sign-up is accessible throughout the course selection windows. If you fail to sign up for seminars during this time, the department may allocate you to a seminar group of their choice on your behalf. 

All seminars have a limit in size. Students should sign-up as soon as they have signed up for a course. If a course is oversubscribed then unfortunately you may not get in. However, please bear in mind that students have the option to drop courses before the deadline (ie 12 October). Please check the course regularly as a space may become available.  

Absolutely, seminar sign-up is accessible throughout the course selection windows. If you fail to sign up for seminars during this time, the department may allocate you to a seminar group of their choice on your behalf. You can sign up for seminars via LSE for You.

Students who try to attend classes/seminars where they are not enrolled will be asked to leave

Your personal timetable will be available in LSE for You after you have made your course selections and they have been approved by the teaching department. You will automatically be given access to the Moodle page for your selected courses a few hours after selecting them on LSE for You.
