Winter Quarter Registration 2025 Reminder & Updates

A reminder that winter registration is happening:

• Thursday, Oct. 31st at 6am: Registration for students with disability accommodation for priority registration and Veterans, Active Service, dependents, etc. has already started.
• Monday, Nov. 4th at 6am: All other MSW Students

Please see below for updates and clarifications regarding registration:

Soc W 506/574 – A specialized research course is required regardless of your specialization. To hopefully clear up some confusion about the specialized research requirement for DAY 2 students – We’re offering different classes this winter and spring that meet the 506/574 requirements.

Some of those offerings are priority for EDP students on the evening or weekend schedule. Some are priority for DAY students that are offered during the day-time. And some will be jointly offered on varied schedules. For more info about the options, please see this canvas page.

For Winter Quarter

• DAY students – 506A: Qualitative Methods (policy) course is on Thursdays at 8:30am, 506C: Community-Based Participatory research class on Fridays at 11:30am, and 574 class on Thursdays at 8:30.
• EDP students, 506 on Tuesday evening and 574 on Saturdays.

For Spring Quarter

• DAY students in spring, we are planning day-time sections of 506: Qualitative Methods and 574 Program Evaluation.
• EDP and Day students, we are planning joint sections of 506 Community-based Participatory Research and 574 Program Evaluation on evening and weekend schedules.

Soc W 571 – we seem to be very close to confirming an instructor and anticipate the weekly remote synchronous sessions (which includes 4 mandatory sessions) will be on Monday evenings, 6-8:50pm. We are hoping to schedule makeup sessions for the 4 mandatory sessions during the day on either Thursdays or Fridays, to make up for the delayed scheduling of this course.

Soc W 588 – Priority is for students in their specialized (525) practicum in a K-12 setting serving students and those who were in K-12 placements last year in 524. We have emailed those students and that group should be able to register when registration opens on the above dates.  Any remaining spots will be opened up to DAY students graduating this year when period 2 registration begins on 11/18.  There will be another section in spring that will be accessible to both graduating EDP and DAY students. First year students who are in K-12 placements this year will be prioritized next year for the course.

Spring Electives – We have created a canvas page that includes the Spring electives that we PROJECT to offer.  We’re still confirming some instructors and classes, but this will give you an idea of what we’ll likely offer.  

Additional Updates:

• CCIP students – 534 will meet on Fridays at 11:30 instead of Thursdays at 11:30. Please do not register for that class until the day/time has changed. We’ll send out a notification to let you know when the course is updated. Additionally, Soc W 527 will now be offered in spring quarter.
• Electives for Day 1 students, although not templated for an elective in winter quarter, may register for Soc W 576 and Soc W 596I during period 1 on 11/4. Add codes are required for 596I (see time schedule for who to contact). Descriptions on this canvas page. Students taking Soc W 504, 511, 512, and 524 are registered for a full-time load, so there is no expectation of taking an elective in winter (and we actually discourage it).

As usual for registration, we’ll be staffing the mswadvising@uw.edu inbox beginning at 6am on Monday if you have any questions. Any emails sent to the mswadvising email over the weekend, will receive a response as soon as we are able to.
