Prior to making changes to courses, be sure to review the Office of the Registrar’s Enrollment Deadlines Page for important dates and deadlines, and the Graduate School’s Enrollment Requirements including important information about minimum credits required.
Prior to deadlines, students may make course changes online via MyUW Student Center. See the Late Enrollment/Late Course Change/Late Drop document for changing enrollment after the deadlines.
If a course change is made after the fee refund deadlines (including audited, modular, and zero-credit courses) students may owe additional money, even if the total number of credits for which they are enrolled does not change. The Bursar’s Office will notify students if they owe additional fees or are entitled to a refund.
Students holding graduate assistantships, fellowships, and traineeships must meet minimum enrollment requirements when making course changes.
International students considering a course change that may drop them to part-time status must first receive authorization from International Student Services (ISS). This will ensure that they remain in compliance with Department of Homeland Security (DHS) visa regulations. International students holding graduate assistantships, fellowships, and traineeships must meet minimum enrollment requirements as well.
For more information and questions, contact the Office of the Registrar or Graduate School Academic Services. The Registrar’s Office also offers demos and tutorials for course enrollment. For instructions on how to late add/change/drop a class, visit the Late Enrollment/Late Course Change/Late Drop document.
