Registration

Getting Registered for Classes

ISS students register for courses through Register.UW using SLN codes (see links below)

*SLN stands for “Schedule Line Number.” These are just five-digit codes assigned to each class in a given quarter.

  • Step 1. Find and select courses; then jot down the SLN codes for the classes you want.
  • Step 2. Register for courses using SLN codes.

Registration Tips and Reminders

Continuing ISS students

  • Review and update your Learning Plan before registering (you can access it on your UW Google Drive Account).
  • Please check in with your adviser if you plan to change your schedule. Your Learning Plan requires approval so we know you’re staying on track and to stay in good standing as per our Continuation Policy.
  • Registration for most courses begins in Period I, based on your specific registration priority date.

​New Students

  • You will register in Period II, and only after you've attended a group advising meeting.  At this meeting you will learn about which first quarter courses you will need to take, and you will receive registration instructions.  Please visit the Getting Started page to learn more!

General

  • Register early!  Space in courses, especially group start courses, can be limited. Signing up as early as possible increases the likelihood that you will get what you want. Also payment will not be due until the third Friday of the quarter. There is no reason to delay!
  • Learn more about the various types of courses available to you to complete your degree. Note that courses offered by state-funded programs are open for registration the first day of Period III, unless other restrictions are noted.
  • (N/A during Covid-19 pandemic) WARNING ON EXAMS for COURSES OUTSIDE ISS:  Some courses do require in-person mid-terms and/or finals. If you are a local student, you may come to campus to take exams. If you are not local, you should let your instructor know immediately so that you may work with UW Continuum College (C2) to arrange for an exam proctor in your area. This does not apply to ISS major courses.
  • After registration: After you register on MyUW, it typically takes up to 30 minutes for you to be enrolled in your Canvas courses, so don't panic if your classes don't show up in Canvas right away.  If you have not been added to Canvas by the end of the day, you can call the C2 Registration office to check on the status of your registration at 206-543-2310. Check MyUW to confirm enrollment. If 2 business days have gone by and you are not enrolled, you can call C2 Registration or contact your adviser for assistance.
  • Visit your MyUW frequently for updates and changes. Stay ahead of payments, registration holds, and financial aid status.
  • Bookmark this webpage and the UW Academic Calendar. Payment deadlines, drop and refund deadlines, and other important dates are all included in the Academic Calendar.
  • If you are using the Time Schedule to find classes, always make sure you are in the UWPCE Time Schedule and not the on-campus Time Schedule (they look very similar!)
  • Contact your adviser if you have questions, especially if you think you need to drop a course or if you're planning to enroll in any classes after the quarter has started.
