For After Your Student’s Application is Accepted
Registration in a Nutshell
At LAU, parents register their students for courses in our Student Information Services (SIS) system.
Use the info on this page to explore class offerings and what we recommend by grade for middle school.

How to Register for Courses in SIS:
- Sign in to your SIS parent account.
- Under “My Students,” click the tab with your student’s name on it.
- Click on the “Registration” tab.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to select your student’s courses in each subject. We recommend registering for both the fall and winter semesters at the same time. By default, SIS is designed to show courses for your student's grade. To see additional classes that may pertain to them, click "Show All Courses" toward the bottom of the screen.
Note: You can ignore all tuition prices shown in SIS, unless you plan to self-pay for a particular course.
- Once you’ve selected your student’s courses, move through the final confirmation steps. That’s it!
For help with any of the above steps, please contact our Registrar.

No, students can’t register for themselves in SIS. Only parents have access to the Registration tab from their SIS parent account.
-
Is registration first-come, first-served?
Yes, registration for admitted students is on a first-come, first-served basis. We have a limited number of seats in all courses, and we do not reserve seats for returning students. However, we always notify current families when registration opens for a new semester.
-
Can I change my student’s classes after they’re registered?
Yes. You can add or drop courses from your child’s schedule until August 30 for the fall semester and January 17 for the winter semester. This includes switching class sections or changing between honors and classic versions.
-
Can I register my student part-time?
No, all students must register full-time at LAU. Students in middle school must register for at least 5 classes to be considered full-time.
-
Can my middle school student take high school classes?
Yes, in some cases. If you have an advanced student in 8th grade, you can request permission from our registrar to enroll them in a high school math, writing, or foreign language course. Middle school students who take high school math can receive high school credit (pending approval from LAU).

If you feel your middle school student can successfully complete a self-paced, high-school-level language course, please contact an LAU school counselor for approval.
-
Does LAU offer summer classes?
No, we do not offer summer classes. If your student is in need of credit recovery, please contact a school counselor.
NEXT STEPS

After I register my student for courses, what’s next?
Once your student is registered, all that’s left is preparing for the first day of school! To help with this, we highly encourage you to review our How to Prepare for School page and On-Demand Parent Orientation videos. We’ll also email you and your student with information about student orientation assignments they will need to complete in Canvas (our online learning management system).
Please note: All course selections are reviewed and approved by LAU’s school counselors. We will let you know if any of your student’s courses need to be adjusted.
