Spring 2025 Registration Change Guide

Dear University of Washington students,

Welcome to spring quarter 2025. This message provides important information about new changes around registration and your transcript that are effective for the 2024–2025 academic year.

This also contains information about adding, dropping or withdrawing from any or all of your spring 2025 courses. You may not need these instructions until later in the quarter, so hold onto this email for future reference.

Register.UW — Enhancements are being made to the tools you use to register. The new Register.UW goes into effect on April 7, 2025, to prepare for summer 2025 registration. Once the new changes are in effect, it will apply to changes you’ll make for spring registration, as well.

Incomplete Policy and Required Incomplete Request Form — Effective autumn quarter 2024. You must use this form to request an Incomplete Grade within the time period the form is open. For any Incomplete grade assigned to an undergraduate student in autumn 2024 and after, the Incomplete notation (I) will be removed from the transcript after the following quarter ends and a final grade is recorded for the course. The removal of the Incomplete notation (I) does not apply to graduate students.

We strongly encourage you to consult with your adviser or advising team before making any changes listed below.

Carefully review these instructions, deadlines and links. Beginning April 7, 2025, there will be a $20 Change of Registration fee associated with any kind of change to your spring 2025 registration, with a maximum of $20 charged per day.

Review the tuition forfeiture policy when considering course drops. You may not get all your tuition back depending on when you drop.

Through End of Week 1
March 31–April 6, 2025

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.

Through End of Week 2 (Unrestricted Drop Period)
April 7–13, 2025

$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.

Late Course Drop Period Beginning Week 3 — Last Day of Instruction
April 14, 2025–June 6, 2025

$20 fee charged. Course drops appear on your transcript.
You may drop one class yourself via MyUW using the Current Quarter Drop self-serve Quarterly Drop. Follow the same instructions as Week 2. To drop multiple classes or an additional class if you already used your Quarterly Drop, use the Current Quarter Drop Adviser-Assisted Drop Request Form. Consult with your adviser, who will check in with you to see if you have questions about dropping classes and will then forward your request to your campus registration team to complete the request. Each dropped course will appear on the 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.

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.

If you have questions on any of the information above, please contact your campus registration team at the email for your campus listed below.
