<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This prospectus is part of an automatic shelf registration statement that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") as a
"well-known seasoned issuer," as defined in Rule&nbsp;405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Under this shelf registration, we and/or the selling stockholders may,
from time to time, sell an indeterminate amount of any combination of common stock, debt securities, preferred stock, warrants or units described in this prospectus in one or more offerings. We may
also issue common stock upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any of the securities mentioned above. The registration statement that contains this prospectus (including the exhibits to the
registration statement) contains additional information about us and the securities we and/or the selling stockholders may offer under this prospectus and any prospectus supplement. You can read that
registration statement at the SEC web site at http://www.sec.gov or at the SEC office mentioned under the heading "Where You Can Find More Information." </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This
prospectus describes the general terms of the securities we may offer. Each time we sell securities, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will describe the specific amounts,
prices and other terms of that offering. The prospectus supplement prepared by us or on our behalf may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus. To understand the terms of
the securities that may be offered pursuant to this prospectus, you should carefully read this document with the applicable prospectus supplement or any free writing prospectus prepared by us or on
our behalf. Together, these documents will give the specific terms of the offered securities. You should also read the documents we have incorporated by reference in this prospectus described below
under the heading "Where You Can Find More Information." </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
may also prepare free writing prospectuses that describe particular securities. Any free writing prospectus should also be read in connection with this prospectus and with any
prospectus supplement referred to in that free writing prospectus. For purposes of this prospectus, any reference to a prospectus supplement may also refer to a free writing prospectus unless the
context requires otherwise. </FONT></P>

it. We are not making an offer to sell these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. You should not assume that the information in this prospectus, any prospectus
supplement or any free writing prospectus is accurate as of any date other than the date on the front of those documents.</B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We may offer unsecured debt securities in one or more series which may be senior, subordinated or junior subordinated, and which may be
convertible into another security. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
following description briefly sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the debt securities. The particular terms of the debt securities offered by any prospectus supplement
and the extent, if any, to which the following general terms and provisions may apply to those debt securities, will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Unless otherwise specified in
the applicable prospectus supplement, each series of our debt securities will be issued under an indenture to be entered into between us and one or more trustees selected by us. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have summarized certain general features of the debt securities from the indenture. The following description of the terms of the debt securities sets forth certain general terms and

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We may sell the debt securities, including original issue discount securities, at par or at a substantial discount below their stated principal
amount. Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, we may issue additional debt securities of a particular series without the consent of the holders of any other debt securities of
such series or any other series outstanding at the time of issuance. Any such additional debt securities, together with all other outstanding debt securities of that series, will constitute a single
series of securities under the indenture. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement any other special considerations for any debt securities we sell which are denominated in a currency or currency unit other than
U.S. dollars. In addition, debt securities may be issued where the amount of principal and/or interest payable is determined by reference to one or more currency exchange rates, commodity prices,
equity indices or other factors. Holders of such securities may receive a principal amount or a payment of interest that is greater than or less than the amount of principal or interest otherwise
payable on such dates, depending upon the value of the applicable currencies, commodities, equity indices or other factors. Information as to the methods for determining the amount of principal or
interest, if any, payable on any date, the currencies, commodities, equity indices or other factors to which the amount payable on such date is linked will be described in the applicable prospectus
supplement. </FONT></P>

and in either temporary or definitive form. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the individual debt securities, a global security may not be transferred except as a whole by the
depositary for such global security to a nominee of such depositary or by a nominee of such depositary to such depositary or another nominee of such depositary or by such depositary or any such
nominee to a successor of such depositary or a nominee of such successor. The specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to any debt securities of a series and the rights of and

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
of June&nbsp;30, 2018, 57,315,585 shares of our common stock were outstanding and no preferred stock was outstanding. </FONT></P>

Common Stock  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following description of certain rights of our common stock does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to
our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our amended and restated by-laws and the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Voting Rights.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each holder of our common stock is entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a vote of the
stockholders,
including the election of directors. Under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, our stockholders will not have cumulative voting rights. Because of
this, the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors can elect all of the directors standing for election, if they should so choose. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Dividends.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any then-outstanding preferred stock, holders of common stock are entitled

then-outstanding shares of preferred stock. </FONT></P>

provisions applicable to the common stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares
of any series of preferred stock that we may designate in the future. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes our board of directors, without further action by our stockholders, to issue up
to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series, to fix the rights, preferences and privileges of
the shares of each wholly unissued series and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereon, and to increase or decrease the number of shares of any such series, but not below the number of
shares of such series then outstanding. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our

incorporation provides that none of the Company's directors will be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duty, except for liability
(i)&nbsp;for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law, (iii)&nbsp;pursuant to Section&nbsp;174 of the DGCL or (iv)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Any repeal or modification of
the foregoing Article SIXTH of the Company's certificate of incorporation by the Company's stockholders will not adversely affect any right of a director existing at the time of such repeal or

which any of them is a party by reason of being a director or officer of the corporation if it is determined that the director or officer acted in accordance with the applicable standard of conduct
set forth in such statutory provision. Article&nbsp;VII of the Company's by-laws provides that the Company will indemnify any person who was or is party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Company, or is or was a director of officer of the Company
serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity, against certain liabilities, costs and expenses. Article&nbsp;VII also provides for the advancement

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have acted as special counsel to 2U,&nbsp;Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the registration statement on Form&nbsp;S-3 (the "Registration
Statement") to be filed on the date hereof by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The
Registration Statement relates to the issuance and sale by the Company from time to time, pursuant to Rule&nbsp;415 of the General Rules and Regulations of the Commission promulgated under the
Securities Act (the "Rules and Regulations"), of (i)&nbsp;shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company ("Common Stock"), (ii)&nbsp;shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001
per share, of the Company ("Preferred Stock"), which may be issued in one or more series, (iii)&nbsp;debt securities of the Company ("Debt Securities"), which may be issued in one or more series
under an indenture (the "Indenture") proposed to be entered into by the Company and the trustee to be named therein, (iv)&nbsp;warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock, shares of Preferred Stock
or Debt Securities ("Warrants"), which may be issued pursuant to one or more warrant agreements (each, a "Warrant Agreement") proposed to be entered into by the Company and one or more warrant agents
to be named therein, (v)&nbsp;units of the Company ("Units") each consisting of Common Stock, Preferred Stock, Debt Securities or Warrants, or any combination of those securities, which may be
issued pursuant to one or more agreements (each, a "Unit Agreement") proposed to be entered into by the Company and one or more unit agents to be named therein, and (vi)&nbsp;such indeterminate
number of shares of Common Stock, Preferred Stock and indeterminate amount of Debt Securities as may be issued upon conversion, exchange or exercise, as applicable, of any Preferred Stock, Debt
Securities, Warrants or settlement of any Units, including such shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock as may be issued pursuant to anti-dilution adjustments determined at the time of offering
(collectively, "Indeterminate Securities"). </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have also examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such records of the Company and such agreements, certificates and receipts of public
officials, certificates of officers or other representatives of the Company and others, and such other documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions stated below. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, including endorsements, the legal capacity and competency of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents
submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as facsimile, electronic, certified or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of
such copies. As to any facts relevant to the opinions stated herein that we did not independently establish or verify, we have relied upon statements and representations of officers and other
representatives of the Company and others and of public officials, including those in the General Counsel's Certificate.. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
do not express any opinion with respect to the laws of any jurisdiction other than (i)&nbsp;the laws of the State of New York, and (ii)&nbsp;the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware (the "DGCL") (all of the foregoing being referred to as "Opined-on Law"). </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
used herein, "Transaction Agreements" means the Indenture and the supplemental indentures thereto, the Warrant, the Unit Agreements and any applicable underwriting or purchase
agreement. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
opinions stated in paragraphs&nbsp;1 through 5 below presume that all of the following (collectively, the "general conditions") shall have occurred prior to the issuance of the
Securities referred to therein: (i)&nbsp;the Registration Statement, as finally amended (including all necessary post-effective amendments), has become effective under the Securities Act;
(ii)&nbsp;an appropriate prospectus supplement or term sheet with respect to such Securities has been prepared, delivered and filed in compliance with the Securities Act and the applicable Rules and
Regulations; (iii)&nbsp;the applicable Transaction Agreements shall have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and the other parties thereto, including, if such Securities are
to be sold or otherwise distributed pursuant to a firm commitment underwritten offering, the underwriting agreement or purchase agreement with respect thereto; (iv)&nbsp;the Board of Directors of
the Company, including any duly authorized committee thereof, shall have taken all necessary corporate action to approve the issuance and sale of such Securities and related matters and appropriate
officers of the Company have taken all related action as directed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors of the Company; and (v)&nbsp;the terms of the applicable Transaction Agreements
and the issuance and sale of such Securities have been duly established in conformity with the certificate of incorporation of the Company so as not to violate any applicable law, the certificate of
incorporation of the Company or the bylaws of the Company, or result in a default under or breach of any agreement or instrument binding upon the Company, and so as to comply with any requirement or
restriction imposed by any court or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company. </FONT></P>

opinions stated herein are subject to the following qualifications: </FONT></P>

<UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the
opinions stated herein are limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer, preference and other similar laws affecting
creditors' rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law); </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;we
do not express any opinion with respect to any law, rule or regulation that is applicable to any party to any of the Transaction Agreements or the transactions
contemplated thereby solely because such law, rule or regulation is part of a regulatory regime applicable to any such party or any of its affiliates as a result of the specific assets or business
operations of such party or such affiliates; </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;except
to the extent expressly stated in the opinions contained herein, we have assumed that each of the Transaction Agreements constitutes the valid and binding
obligation of each party to such Transaction Agreement, enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms; </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;our
opinions in paragraph&nbsp;3, 4 and 5 do not address the enforceability of any provision, however expressed, (i)&nbsp;limiting reliance on statements by a party,
(ii)&nbsp;exculpating a party from liability, (iii)&nbsp;disclaiming, limiting, or extending a party's liability, (iv)&nbsp;waiving, limiting, or excluding remedies, (v)&nbsp;providing for
indemnification or contribution, or (vi)&nbsp;lengthening or shortening the period during which claims otherwise could be made under the applicable statute of limitations; </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;we
do not express any opinion with respect to the enforceability of any provision of any Transaction Agreement to the extent that such section purports to bind any
Opinion Party to the exclusive jurisdiction of any particular federal court or courts; </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;we
call to your attention that irrespective of the agreement of the parties to any Transaction Agreement, a court may decline to hear a case on grounds of forum non
conveniens or other doctrine limiting the availability of such court as a forum for resolution of disputes; in addition, we call to your attention that we do not express any opinion with respect to
the subject matter jurisdiction of the federal courts of the United States of America in any action arising out of or relating to any Transaction Agreement; </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;we
have assumed that any agent of service will have accepted appointment as agent to receive service of process and call to your attention that we do not express any
opinion if and to the extent such agent shall resign such appointment. Further, we do not express any opinion with respect to the irrevocability of the designation of such agent to receive service of
process; </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;we
have assumed that the choice of New York law to govern the Indenture and any supplemental indenture thereto is a valid and legal provision; </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;we
have assumed that the laws of the State of New York will be chosen to govern any Warrant Agreements and Unit Agreements and that such choice is and will be a valid
and legal provision; </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;we
have assumed that the Indenture will be duly authorized, executed and delivered by the trustee, and that any Debt Securities, Warrants and Units that may be issued
will be manually authenticated, signed or countersigned, as the case may be, by duly authorized officers of any trustee, warrant agent, and unit agent, as the case may be; and </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to
the extent that any opinion relates to the enforceability of the choice of New York law and choice of New York forum provisions contained in any Transaction
Agreement, the opinions stated herein are subject to the qualification that such enforceability may be subject to, in each case, (i)&nbsp;the exceptions and limitations in New York General
Obligations Law sections&nbsp;5-1401 and 5-1402 and (ii)&nbsp;principles of comity and constitutionality. </FONT></P>

that management has excluded from its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting the internal control over financial reporting of Get Educated International
Proprietary Limited ("GetSmarter"), which was acquired during the year, and our audit of internal control over financial reporting also excludes an evaluation of the internal control over financial
reporting of GetSmarter. </FONT></P>
