La Salle Extension University (LSEU〔De Sola, Ralph (1981). ''Abbreviations dictionary.'' Elsevier, ISBN 978-0-444-00380-5〕), also styled as LaSalle Extension University,〔The university styled its name as both "La Salle" and "LaSalle" in print media. ()()()〕 was a nationally accredited private university based in Chicago, Illinois. Although the school offered resident educational programs in classes and seminars their primary mode of delivery was by way of distance learning. LSEU was in operation from 1908 until 1982.〔Bear J, Bear MP (1995). ''Bears' guide to earning college degrees nontraditionally.''

It was originally located at 4046 S. Michigan Avenue (41st Street & Michigan).〔Staff report (September 5, 1944). School Today! War Cuts High Classes, Adds to Air Training. Lower Grades Gain. ''Chicago Tribune''〕 Early courses were business-oriented and included accounting and law.〔MacClintock, Samuel (May 1910). (Law Instruction in the La Salle Extension University. ) ''The American Law School Review'', volume 2, No. 9, pp. 411-413.〕 By 1911, LSEU was advertising that over 10,000 students had enrolled.〔Advertising section (May 1911) ''The Cosmopolitan'', Volume 50, No. 6, p. 22〕 The university was an early pioneer in distance learning.

''Chicago Tribune''〕 offering Associate's degrees and Bachelor's degrees, as well as a Bachelor of Laws degree during much of its operation.〔Staff report (Janusary 21, 1934). Law course benefit cited. ''Los Angeles Times''〕 In 1937, the Federal Trade Commission ordered that LSEU cease and desist from representing that the school was a university.〔Staff report (May 25, 1937). F. T. C. Acts Against School. ''New York Times''〕 The FTC found that "while many of the respondent's courses of instruction were of college grade, the institution itself was not a university and did not possess the qualities and attributes considered by educators and the public generally as requisites necessary to be possessed by an institution to make it a university or to entitle it to be designated as such."〔(Annual Report of the Federal Trade Commission for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 1937. ) p. 63〕 The restrictions were eased a year later.〔Staff report (May 24, 1938). La Salle Ruling Eased. ''New York Times''〕 In 1944, LSEU relocated its administrative offices to the Chicago Loop at 417 S. Dearborn Street.〔Chase, Al (May 16, 1944). La Salle U.
