Registration confirmation

There is no separate application required to enroll in an Early Fall Start course. All students, both new or current, should follow the registration instructions on this page. New UW students must have submitted their New Student Enrollment and Orientation Fee indicating their intention to attend the UW in autumn quarter before they are eligible to register.

NEW UW STUDENTS PLEASE NOTE: Before you can register for any UW class, including Early Fall Start, you must provide the University with evidence of measles immunity. Your evidence of measles immunity must reach the university by the time you request registration in an Early Fall Start class. If the evidence you provide is an immunization record, it must include the date of your initial immunization, plus the date of a booster immunization. A single immunization WILL NOT meet the requirement.

Registering for an Early Fall Start course

To register for a Discovery Seminar, visit the Discovery Seminar website.

To register for a Preparing for College Writing course, visit the Preparing for College Writing section on the Courses page of this website.

To register for an Exploration Seminar, visit the Exploration Seminar website.

Since last minute changes in course times and locations are always possible, it is important for you to check back to the appropriate website for the latest information about your course before you show up for the first day of class on August 24th. Please check your email for additional information.

If you are a new UW student, you can register for your Early Fall Start course before your Advising and Orientation date for autumn quarter, but you must wait until that date to register for the rest of your autumn quarter schedule.

Dropping an Early Fall Start course

If you registered for a Discovery Seminar or an Exploration Seminar and now no longer wish to take the course, please check the website of the specific program (Discovery Seminar, Exploration Seminar) for the policies and procedures for dropping your course. Refund and forfeiture policies vary from program to program.

See the student guide section of the UW website for information about regular autumn quarter course drop deadlines and policies.

Registration confirmation

Beginning in June, if you would like confirmation of your registration, you may check your autumn quarter schedule by going to MyUW on the web. Your Early Fall Start course will be listed as part of your autumn quarter schedule. Please allow 4-5 days between the time you request registration in an Early Fall Start course and the time it appears on your autumn quarter schedule.
