Registration Tips

The UWT Registration Guide contains a large amount of information on registration, class listings, tuition deadlines, important dates for the quarter, and final exam schedules. You register for classes using MyUW.

Do I Need an Advising Appointment Before Registering?

If you have met with an academic adviser at least once and have declared a concentration, you are in a good position to register every quarter, using your concentration checklist to make sure you take the proper classes. However, you should see an adviser if you have any of these issues:

• you are within 45 credits of your degree
• you have outstanding admission deficiencies (like foreign language)
• you are not sure where new courses fit in your concentration
• there are some details that need to be handled (missing transcripts, etc.)

Some concentrations are easier to understand than others! You can always email an adviser with a "quick question" about the courses you signed up for just to double-check they were good choices. Faculty advisers can answer your questions about taking courses that are not on approved checklists.

More Tips

• As enrollment increases, more restrictions will be placed on popular classes. Declare your concentration and minor to make sure the courses you need are open to you.
• Independent study forms are due the first week of the quarter. See Independent Study for more details.
• Consult the Registration Guide to determine if you will need entry codes for any of your classes. Look in the "notes" column for instructions on obtaining entry codes.

Tuition is not due immediately upon registration. It is due about 2 weeks into the quarter. It is your responsibility to pay the tuition on time even if you never received a bill. If you do not pay your tuition on time you will not be able to register for the following quarter or obtain copies of your transcript. Check the tuition deadline every quarter on MyUW or in the UWT Registration Guide and pay it on time.
