Q -Can I change from one quiz section to another quiz
section without dropping the lecture section?
A - Yes, but you must make all changes in a single transaction. Mark the
"drop" check-box next to the quiz or lab you are currently registered for
and enter the Schedule Line Number (SLN) for the quiz or lab. Then click
submit.
Q - Will I use my annual drop if I change from one quiz section to
another?
A - No, you will be allowed to move from one quiz section to another
without using your annual drop if you include all requests in the same
transaction.
Q -
Will I be charged a fee if I change from one quiz section to another
after the first week of the
quarter?
A -Yes, any adjustment to your schedule after the 7th calendar day of the
quarter will result in a course change fee.
Q -
If there are multiple lecture sections for the same course, can I
register for any available quiz?
A- No, you must select from the list of related quiz sections immediately
following a specific lecture section.
Q -
I want to overload into a course that has both a lecture and a quiz
sectioin. Do I need an Entry Code for both?
A - Yes.
Q -
Can lecture and quiz sections have different prerequisites
or registration restrictions?
A - Prerequisites apply to both the lecture and the quiz. Registration
restrictions however may differ between the lecture and quiz sections.
Q -
The lecture says it is open but the quizzes are all closed. Is this an
error?
A - No, not necessarily. Quiz section course limits may not match the
limit for the lecture.
Departments may change the limit of either the lecture or quizzes, as a
means of managing registration.
Q -
Can I register just for the lecture section and add a quiz section
later?
A - No, if a primary lecture section has a
secondary component (quiz, lab, etc.), you must enter in the Schedule Line
Numbers (SLN) for both.
Q -
If I drop the lecture will it automatically drop me from my quiz (and vice
versa)?
A - No. The system will remind you that you must drop the lecture and the
lab, quiz, or any other secondary section all in the same transaction.
Q -
How will the course appear on my transcript?
A - The lecture (primary) section only will be listed on your UW
transcript.
Q -
Does Schedule Finder work differently?
A - Schedule Finder will now supports more combinations and student
options, so search times may increase somewhat. To minimize this issue,
Schedule Finder may present only a limited subset of
possible combinations.
Q -
I'm only allowed one annual drop. Will I be able to drop both a lecture
and a quiz after the second week of the quarter and have it count as one
drop?
A - Yes, the system will count one lecture and one quiz of the same group
as one drop.
Q -
Is there step-by-step help on how to use the system?
A - Yes, we have posted step-by-step documentation (including screen
shots) here: www.washington.edu/students/reg/registration/.
Q -
Why did you change the Time Schedule format?
A - What's old is new and what's new is old. We have simply gone back to
the format that was used prior to 1988. In 1988 we had to change the way
course were bundled to accommodate STAR (student assisted telephone
registration). Un-bundling the lecture/quiz, lecture/lab sections
provides greater flexibility for students to put together schedules that
meet their needs. In addition, a number of critical backend processes
will run much more efficiently after as a result of the change.
