The Class-Registration Process
Your student will soon receive an email message with an assigned registration date and time, based primarily upon class standing and the number of completed credits (including AP credits) on your student’s transcript.
Although students aren’t required to meet with an advisor before registering for classes, they are encouraged to consult with an advisor when making course decisions. Students are also encouraged to plan ahead, as November is busy for most advisors. You student will find his or her assigned advisor listed at My UW.
Additionally, students can log into My UW and begin creating a “Wish List” of courses for the upcoming semester. Doing this ahead of time allows students to make the registration process more efficient; on the day registration opens, they can log into My UW, find out the availability of the courses they have already pre-selected, and select courses from that list. Keep in mind that the course schedule is a work-in-progress.
Students can continue to monitor course availability and change course selections up until the first drop deadline without a notation on their transcripts.
