How to Register
Registering for online and blended courses at Pacific Lutheran University will vary depending on if you are a current PLU student, a student from another university (non-matriculated students), or taking continuing education courses. Find yourself below for more information.
PLU students
Current PLU students register for online and blended classes through Banner Web, during standard registration periods. Most online classes fall in Summer Sessions, with blended classes occurring throughout the academic year.
Choose “Blended/Hybrid (BL)” or “Online (ON)” for the Instructional Method when searching the class schedule.
Non-matriculated/external undergraduate students
Non-matriculating, non-degree seeking students may attend Pacific Lutheran University (PLU) part-time for a maximum of nine semester hours. Non-matriculated students are not officially admitted to the university or a specific degree program. Most online programming is offered in Summer Sessions, with blended classes available throughout the academic year. To find these classes in the Interactive Class Schedule, choose the Term you are interested in and select “Blended/Hybrid (BL)” or “Online (ON)” for the Instructional Method.
