Registration Troubleshooting
If you run into any issues or errors with registration: Log out of your my.lakeforest account and, if using Safari or Chrome, switch to a different web browser, and log in again. If you cannot resolve the problem using the solutions in the guide, contact the Registrar’s Office directly.
Students are only able to register online when registration is open. View the upcoming registration dates above for more information.
Waitlists
Students: Contact the course instructor directly with any questions about waitlisted courses. If the instructor will allow you into the course, they will grant you a course authorization in my.lakeforest. You will need to drop yourself from the waitlist and re-register for the course while online registration is open. Follow the instructions in the registration guides linked above.
Faculty: If you will allow a waitlisted student into your course, grant the student a course authorization in my.lakeforest and let them know they can register for the course.
Frequently Asked Questions
My professor gave me an authorization to get off a waitlist. What are my next steps?
Switch your registration from waitlisted to current - There is no way to do this. You must receive a course authorization from the instructor, drop the waitlisted course, and then register for the same course. It will be successful if you have obtained the proper authorization through mylakeforest. See the course registration guides above.
How do I get my registration hold lifted?
For financial holds: Contact Student Accounts at studentaccounts@lakeforest.edu.
How do I audit a course?
Current students: Contact the instructor directly. The instructor will ask the Registrar’s Office to register you as an auditor if approved.
Visiting students or community members: Visit the Adult and Continuing Education page for registration information.
