Check Out the Course Guide
Your student is likely to ask your advice about academic planning at some point during his or her time at UW–Madison. The Office of the Registrar encourages you to check out Course Guide, a tool you can use to help coach your student as he or she researches majors and makes plans for enrolling for courses each term.
Course Guide is available to you at mycourseguide.wisc.edu. Your student can access Course Guide through My UW (my.wisc.edu).
The guide makes it easy to find complete course information, details about textbooks and class materials, and links to other campus resources, such as the Schedule of Classes, the Undergraduate and Graduate Catalogs, and department Web sites. Course Guide offers students additional features, including a planning tool to help them organize lists of courses and those they may want to take during future terms. If you have questions, ideas, or suggestions, please send them to courseguide@em.wisc.edu.
