You Belong Here
So much is in store for you at Lesley University! Now that you’ve been accepted, RSVP for our exclusive celebration for new students for Saturday, April 15.

Lesley will continue to follow public health regulations and guidance issued by the City of Cambridge, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Our health and safety protocols are subject to change at any time. Please consult the COVID-19 Plan for updates. 

Our Massachusetts Tests for Educator Licensure (MTEL) workshops and courses cover practice questions, test-taking strategies, some content, and resources for individual study to Lesley students and alumni, current Lesley applicants, and the general public, usually 4 times per year.

Spring 2023: All workshops will be held remotely. Most workshops will be synchronous, meaning you must attend during the specified hours. The English as a Second Language workshop will be asynchronous.

See below for how to register for a workshop.

How to Register

Using the Elevate System for Course Registration

Elevate is an online registration system used for continuing education and other services. Even if you have taken courses at Lesley previously, you will need to create a new account for Elevate, which you can use for future courses offered through this system. 

Each course has a unique registration code. Make sure your correct course/start date is listed on the upper right-hand corner of the “Create Account” sign-in page. After entering your information, the system will prompt you for payment, if appropriate.

Once registered, you will receive two emails: one from CAPS@lesley.edu with your Elevate username and portal link; one from the Registrar’s Office with your Lesley credentials for Blackboard/myLesley and Self-Service. If you do not receive an email within two business days regarding your Lesley credentials, please contact our IT department at 617.349.8770 or IT@lesley.edu

Workshop confirmations, cancellations, and/or changes will be made through email. Make sure your email address is current, correct, and legible, and check your email before departing for the workshops.
