Academic Considerations

 FAQs

  • Before registering for courses, speak with a BCLA Academic Advisor to discuss course options. They will be able to guide you from there.

  • In the event that your preferred course is full, you may add yourself to the waitlist when it becomes available on the PROWL Registration. If a seat in the class becomes available, students will be invited via email to register for the course in the order that they appear on the waitlist.

    Additionally, it would be beneficial to have back-up options if your preferred course is full. Please note that BCLA advisors cannot provide capacity overrides for full courses, though you may make an appointment for assistance in selecting an alternative course.

    • If you’re interested in taking summer classes before your first semester at LMU in the fall, you can contact admissions at summer@lmu.edu.
