Winter 2024 Registration Changes

Dear University of Washington students,

This guide provides information about adding, dropping, or withdrawing from any or all of your winter 2024 courses. You may not need these instructions until later in the quarter, so hold onto this email for future reference. As always, consult with your adviser before making changes if you need help.

Carefully review these instructions, deadlines, and links. Beginning January 10, 2024, there will be a $20 Change of Registration fee associated with any kind of changes to your winter 2024 registration, with a maximum of $20 charged per day.

Through January 9: End of Week 1
No fee charged. Course drops do not appear on your transcript.
Add and drop courses freely using MyUW. If you drop all your courses, a withdrawal statement and the date of withdrawal will be posted to your transcript.

January 10-16: Week 2 (Unrestricted Drop Period)
$20 fee charged. Course drops do not appear on your transcript.
You can continue to add and drop courses using MyUW, but you will be charged a $20 Change of Registration fee for all registration changes made on a single day. If you drop all your courses, a withdrawal statement and the date of withdrawal will be posted to your transcript.

January 17–March 8: Week 3 — Last Day of Instruction (Late Course Drop Period)
$20 fee charged. Course drops appear on your transcript.
You may drop one class yourself for the current quarter via MyUW using the self-serve Quarterly Drop. Follow the same instructions as Week 2. To drop multiple classes or an additional class if you already used the Quarterly Drop, use the Adviser-Assisted Drop Request Process. Consult with your adviser, who must approve your schedule changes before your campus registration team completes the request. Each dropped course will appear on your transcript with a Registrar Drop (RD) annotation.

Note: If your enrollment depends on maintaining full-time status, including NCAA athletes and F-1/J-1 international students, you may not be able to use the self-serve Quarterly Drop. In these cases, use the Adviser-Assisted Drop.

Through Friday, March 15: End of Finals Week/Quarter
You can change the grading option of your courses to and from the Satisfactory/Not Satisfactory (S/NS) grading option via your MyUW registration page up through the end of finals week/last week of the quarter, Friday, March 15.

S graded courses do not count for degree or graduation requirements for undergraduate students.

Students may only register for up to 20 credits of S/NS through Personal Services on MyUW. If you have exceeded the 20-credit limit (which includes courses changed to S/NS grading during Extraordinary Circumstances Quarters), you may send a request for additional S/NS grading changes to [email protected].

Note: The $20 Change of Registration fee applies each time you request a grading option change. Based on your overall financial situation, if incurring the grade change fee creates a hardship, you may want to contact the Office of Student Financial Aid.

Do you still have questions on any of the information above? Please contact your campus registration team by email.

Sincerely,
