Register as an NM Student

Step 1: Find Your Course

Under Current and future quarters, click on the academic quarter for which you’d like to register. Select the Course Offerings View.

Once you've found your course, make a note of the information below. You’ll need it for your registration forms.

SLN (schedule line number)
Curriculum abbreviation
Course number
Section ID
Course name
Number of credits

You'll also need the instructor's name, which can only be found on the Time Schedule View (UW NetID required). If you need instructor information, email us at c2reg@uw.edu.

Step 2: Download and Print Forms

Download the forms below to your computer.

The forms are editable PDFs. To fill them out, simply type in your information and then print them out. Or if you prefer to fill out the forms by hand, you can download them and write in the information.

NM Student Registration Form
NM Student Registration Approval Form
Under 18 Notice – Acknowledgement Form (If applicable)

Step 3: Get Signatures/Approvals

To enroll in a UW class as a non-degree student, you must obtain the necessary approvals on the Registration Approval Form.

To get the signatures, email the appropriate academic department and instructor to request approval to register. Ask them to sign the Registration Approval Form; emailed approvals are also acceptable.

Step 4: Calculate Fees

On the Registration Form, you'll need to enter the course and technology fees and then total the fees, including the registration fee. See Tuition & Fees for tuition and fee information.

Step 5: Submit Forms and Payment

Scan and email the completed Registration Form, signed Registration Approval Form (or e-mailed registration approvals from the instructor and the department) to Continuum College Registration Services at c2reg@uw.edu.

In one to two business days, after we process your forms, you’ll get an email with a link to your invoice and a secure payment site. Full payment — or a purchase order or letter authorizing third-party payment — is due right away. Learn about payment options.

Step 6: Check Your Enrollment Status

After you submit your registration forms and complete payment, you’ll be placed on standby status and we’ll attempt to enroll you in the course on the first day of the quarter. You can check your enrollment status on MyUW.

When you're in standby status, you'll see a status line on the course card in MyUW. Once you're enrolled, this line will go away.

Most students are enrolled within the first three days of the quarter. If you’re not enrolled by then, we’ll continue to try to enroll you unless you tell us otherwise. In the meantime, you should attend class because we still may be able to find you a spot. In some cases, you may need to obtain an add code from the instructor or department in order for us to complete your registration.

Note that enrollment as a non-degree student is on a standby, space-available basis only and cannot be guaranteed. If you can't be enrolled, you'll be issued a full refund.
