Fall Semester Registration

In early summer, the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid will email preliminary information about fall course enrollment to all incoming 1L students, including how to request a part-time or special schedule. Please note that special scheduling is reserved for students with compelling or extraordinary circumstances.

Course registration opens in early August. Prior to that (typically in late July), students will receive an email with their assigned schedule and detailed registration instructions.

All incoming students must complete the Pre-Enrollment Checklist and resolve any account holds before enrolling in classes. A hold will remain on a student’s record until they complete all the tasks on the checklist. Any outstanding “to-do” items can be found in the Tasks tile of your MyUW Student Center.

All students use the Course Search and Enroll app to register for courses. Please review the Office of the Registrar’s Enrollment Overview website for additional information about registering for courses.

Spring Semester Registration

As with the fall semester, first-year students will be assigned their spring course schedules. Before schedules are released, students may request a part-time or special schedule by emailing their request to the Law School Academic Advisor. As a reminder, the Law School will grant special scheduling requests in limited circumstances and only if a student has a compelling or extraordinary scheduling need.

In mid-October, the Law School will email first year students their assigned course schedule for the spring term. Spring course registration typically opens in early November.

Reminder: The Pre-Enrollment Checklist must be completed each term before registration.
