How to Register

Below are five ways you can register for courses. To drop a course, see How to Drop or Withdraw from Courses.

You may not register for two courses that meet at the same time. If you submit registration information via the phone, fax, online or through mail indicating that you want two courses that meet at the same time, you will not be enrolled in either course without first verifying which you prefer.

If you are enrolling in a course that overlaps less than one hour per week, it is your responsibility to obtain verbal approval from the instructors of both courses.

You can register:

  • By telephone: Register using VISA or MasterCard.
    • 206-543-2310 or 1-800-543-2320
    • Monday–Thursday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m., and Friday, 9 a.m–5 p.m.
    • Extended Winter hours: 8 a.m.–7 p.m., Dec. 28–30, 2009 and Jan. 4–8 2010

  • Online: Register using VISA or MasterCard by clicking on "Register" in the Autumn or Winter course listings.

  • By mail: Print and mail the registration form and course list. Also, students receiving financial aid must submit the Payment Agreement Form. To download the forms and course list, go to Registration Forms. (For more information about the Payment Agreement Form process, see the Tuition and Fees page.)

  • By fax: Follow the instructions under "By mail" but fax the registration form, course list, and Payment Agreement Form (if required) to 206-685-9359.

  • In person: UW Educational Outreach Registration Services, University District, Seattle.
    • 4311 - 11th Ave. NE, Suite 100 (see map)
