Registration Changes

Specific dates referenced in these policies are based on the Academic Calendar. Drop Policies are governed by WAC 478-161-015.

Change of Registration Fee

A Change of Registration fee is assessed for any number of add, drop, or change transactions (including change of grading option) made during a given day beginning the first day of the Late Add Period for adds or the first day of the Unrestricted Drop Period. The fee is a service charge and is in addition to any change in tuition or forfeiture as a result of adds, drops, or changes. There is no charge for changes made in Registration Periods I, II and III.

Fee waivers are rarely approved. If a student believes a change is necessitated by a University error or is at the University’s request, the student must pay the fee and submit a Petition for Refund of $20 Change of Registration Fee [PDF] to the Office of the University Registrar at petition@uw.edu. The fee will be waived only if the change is necessitated by a University error or is at the University’s request.

Review the Course Drop Policy for dropping a class when the first day of the course is scheduled to begin after the 7th calendar day of the quarter.

Course Drop Policy & Periods

Specific dates related to these policies are indicated on the Academic Calendar.

Registration Period I, II, and III

Courses may be dropped from the first day of Registration Period I through the last day of Registration Period II without being recorded on the transcript. No record of the dropped course(s) will be recorded on the transcript.

Courses dropped during Registration Period III (the first day of the quarter through the 7th calendar day of the quarter) will not be recorded on the transcript as long as you remain enrolled in at least one course for the quarter.

If you drop all of your registered courses once the quarter has begun, a statement of WITHDRAWN with the date of your last course withdrawal will appear on the transcript. Dropping all courses you are enrolled for in a quarter is considered a complete withdrawal.

Please review the University’s Withdrawal, Quarter-Off and On Leave Policies for additional information.

Unrestricted Drop Period

This period is from the 8th calendar day of the quarter through the 14th calendar day of the quarter. There is a $20 Change of Registration Fee charged for all registration changes made on a single day during this period. A tuition forfeiture may be charged. Courses dropped during this time will not be recorded on the transcript as long as you remain enrolled in at least one course for the quarter.

If you drop all of your registered courses during the Unrestricted Drop Period, a statement of WITHDRAWN with the date of your withdrawal will appear on the transcript. Dropping all courses you are enrolled for in a quarter is considered a complete withdrawal.

Please review the University’s Withdrawal, Quarter-Off and On Leave Policies for additional information.

Once the Unrestricted Drop Period ends, each course dropped after that time will be listed on the transcript with an “RD” grade for Registrar Drop.

Late Drop Period – Current Quarter Drop

Each academic year (autumn through spring quarters) after the 14th calendar day of a quarter, students may drop one course through the last date of instruction by utilizing the Current Quarter Self-Service Drop via the registration tools in MyUW. Once this “quarterly drop” is used, students will be directed to use the Current Quarter Drop – Adviser Assist process to be able to drop any additional courses, as well as to completely withdraw from the quarter through the last date of instruction for the quarter. An annotation of RD for Registrar Drop will appear on a transcript next to each course dropped during this time. There is a $20 Change of Registration Fee charged for all registration changes made on a single day during this period. A tuition forfeiture may be charged. Learn more about the Current Quarter Drop process.

Please review the University’s Withdrawal, Quarter-Off and On Leave Policies for additional information on Summer Quarter withdrawal deadlines and processes.

Non-Standard Course Drop Period: Dropping a class when the first day of the course is scheduled to begin after the 7th calendar day of the quarter

Any student whose first (1st) scheduled class meeting with an “Official Start Date” after the 7th calendar day of the quarter and that been identified as a course in the University time schedule as being a Non Standard Start Date Course and wishes to drop the class after the seventh (7th) calendar day of the quarter *, should email the Office of the University Registrar (regoff@uw.edu) by the Sunday following the first class meeting to request the drop without being charged the $20.00 Change of Registration Fee.

The fee waiver will not happen automatically; students must send an email to their campus registration team in order to make the request.

In order for the request to be processed, the email must include:

  • Subject must be: Non-Standard Class Start Date.
  • From Email must be the student’s UW Email
  • Student Name
  • Student UW ID Number
  • Course SLN
  • Course prefix, number, and section of the course(s) to be dropped.
  • Date of first class

* Includes 7th calendar day of B-term during summer quarter.

Registration Resources

The University of Washington has two systems for students to navigate academic options and register for classes: MyPlan and Registration with SLNs (Schedule Line Numbers).

Registration Options

Registration Options

MyPlan is an academic planning tool for University of Washington students to chart both long and short-term academic paths. Use MyPlan to search for courses, create academic plans to share with an adviser, and run degree audits.

With MyPlan, students can:

  • Create a plan for next quarter, next year, or all the way to graduation.
  • Search the Course Catalog to find all courses offered at UW.
  • Discover courses of interest and add courses to a bookmarked list or directly to a plan.
  • Learn about degree requirements for specific majors and programs.
  • Run audits to explore academic progress and identify courses to complete a degree.
  • Check degree progress and compare completed courses to major requirements.
  • Find course sections that will work with schedules using the Schedule Builder.
  • Compare potential schedules and preview plan items before registering.
  • Review registered and completed coursework.
  • Share plans with advisers to ensure the right path for academic success.
  • Send the SLNs of planned courses to the registration system all in one click.

Course Fundamentals

Add & Drop Entry Codes

Entry codes are five-digit numbers issued to students by academic departments as authorization to add or drop in restricted course sections.

  • Entry codes are one time use codes
  • All courses require an add code in order to be added beginning the 8th calendar day of the quarter.
Add Codes

Some courses require Add Codes that are available through the department offering the course. Courses requiring add codes are designated with the symbol > to the left of the schedule line number (SLN) in the Time Schedule.

Additional Stipulations

  • Departments reserve the right to require entry codes whether the course is so designated in the Time Schedule or not.
  • Directions on where to obtain an entry code are in the comment section of the Time Schedule listing, either as a comment after the course section or following the title of the course.
  • Contact the department offering the course if the registration system advises an entry code is required and the location for obtaining one is not identified in the Time Schedule.
  • Instructors may issue Add (Entry) Codes to students when a course is full which will allow registrations or overloads above the limit set by the department.
  • Once an entry code has been used, the registration system removes it from the list of viable codes and will not accept it again. Dropped sections which require an entry code to be added will require another entry code from the department in order to re-add the section.

Some courses require a Drop Code to remove a course from a student’s schedule. Students must obtain the drop code from the department offering the course.

Independent study courses such as 499, 600, 700, or 800 require students to first obtain a Faculty Number from the instructor or department.

Change Fees

Students can expect to be assessed a Change of Registration Service Fee for any registration changes which take place beginning the second week of the quarter.

Course Capacity

For reasons of public safety and instructional quality, course enrollment in each section will be limited to the approved classroom capacity. The Office of the University Registrar monitors course enrollments throughout the quarter according to the following guidelines:

  1. Through the first seven calendar days of a quarter, a student may add a section without permission unless the course is full or requires permission; then an add code is required.
  2. Beginning the eighth calendar day, add codes are required to add any course. The registration system will accept course overloads up to 115% of classroom capacity to compensate for expected course drops.
  3. The registration system closes for course adds at the end of the Late Add Period.

Course Co-Requisites

To register for a course that requires a co-requisite course, first register for that co-requisite course before registering for the primary course. Courses with co-requisites are identified in the comment section of the course listing in the Time Schedule. Courses with co-requisites cannot be dropped until the co-requisite is dropped.

Course Pre-Requisites

Certain courses require prerequisites in order to add that course to a schedule. These courses are identified by the word “Prerequisite” in the title bar in the Time Schedule. Prerequisites may be one or more courses, a minimum placement test score, or a minimum grade in a prerequisite course.

A course section may be added without having completed the course prerequisite provided the student is currently registered for the prerequisite course. However, departments may elect to have the course that required the prerequisite dropped from a student’s schedule if the student does not satisfactorily complete the prerequisite course. Courses subject to cancellation are identified by “Prerequisites (cancellation in effect)” in the title bar in the Time Schedule. In this case, the course that required the prerequisite will be dropped from the student’s schedule no later than the third calendar day of the quarter.

Placement Tests

Some courses have placement tests as prerequisites. Many of these tests can be taken directly through the department. Undergraduate Advising offers information about placement testing.

Understanding Prerequisites

A prerequisite may consist of a single course, multiple courses, placement tests, or a choice of courses or placement tests.

Because of space restrictions, prerequisites are written in the most concise way possible. Certain conventions have been used for consistency and clarity.

Prerequisite Conventions

Prerequisite Conventions

The main division of prerequisites is the semicolon (;), which divides required courses or groups of courses.

Example 1
Course: SPAN 401 The Morphological Structure of Spanish (5)
Prerequisite: SPAN 303; SPAN 323.
Translation: A student must take SPAN 303 and SPAN 323 before taking SPAN 401.
Example 2
Course: CHEM 317 Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory (3)
Prerequisite: Either CHEM 165 or CHEM 312; either CHEM 242 or CHEM 347
Translation: A student must fulfill each of two prerequisites before taking CHEM 317:

  1. either CHEM 165 or CHEM 312, and
  2. either CHEM 242 or CHEM 347

A prerequisite may consist of two or more courses (or sets of courses) that a student may choose from. Such groups begin with the word “either” and have “or” before the last choice. Separate courses (or sets of courses) are divided by commas.

Example 1
Course: CHEM 237 Organic Chemistry (4)
Prerequisite: Either CHEM 155, CHEM 160, or CHEM 162
Translation: A student must take one of the following before taking CHEM 237: CHEM 155 or CHEM 160 or CHEM 162

A prerequisite choice may consist of more than one course. These groups are defined by the use of “and”.

Example 1
Course: CHEM 152 General Chemistry (5)
Prerequisite: Either CHEM 140 and CHEM 141, CHEM 142, or CHEM 145
Translation: A student must take one of the following sets before taking CHEM 152:

  1. CHEM 140 and 141 or
  2. CHEM 142 or
  3. CHEM 145

A course may have a combination of groups of choices and several prerequisites.

Example 1
Course: CHEM 241 Organic Chemistry Laboratory (3)
Prerequisite: Either CHEM 155, CHEM 160 and CHEM 161, or CHEM 162; either CHEM 224, CHEM 238, or CHEM 336
Translation: A student must take one of the following sets before taking CHEM 241:

  1. CHEM 155, or
  2. CHEM 160 and 161, or
  3. CHEM 162

As well, a student must take one of the following before taking CHEM 241: CHEM 224 or 238 or 336.
Example 2
Course: ZOOL 438 Comparative Endocrinology (3)
Prerequisite: Either BIOL 202 or BIOL 102 with either ZOOL 301 or ZOOL 315
Translation: A student must take one of the following sets before taking ZOOL 438:

  1. BIOL 202, or
  2. BIOL 102 and ZOOL 301, or
  3. BIOL 102 and ZOOL 315

A course may have a combination of placement tests and courses as a prerequisite.

Example
Course: MATH 124 Calculus with Analytic Geometry I
Prerequisite: 2.5 in MATH 120, score of 68% on MATHPC placement test, score of 75% on MATHEC placement test, or score of 2 on AP test.
Translation: A student must take one of the following before registering for MATH 124:

  1. MATH 120 with a minimum grade of 2.5
  2. MATHPC placement test with a minimum score of 68%, or
  3. MATHEC placement test with a minimum score of 75%

Retaking a Course

Departments may restrict undergraduates from repeat registration into courses. Restrictions may include:

  • only allowing registration after Period I
  • only allowing registration after the quarter has begun, or
  • requiring an Entry Code for a repeat registration

Courses considered to have been taken once include any numerical grade or those with grades of I, CR/NC, or S/NS. Withdrawn or dropped courses and courses with X or no grade reported will not count as the first taking of a course. Students currently enrolled in a course, registration for the same course in the following quarter will be counted as a repeat registration.

A second repeat (taking a course for a third time [or more]) cannot be done using MyUW. A second repeat requires the department to register the student into the course. Grades in the third or subsequent takings will not be included in the student’s grade-point average (GPA).

Sequence Courses

Departments may establish a registration priority for students enrolled in sequence courses. For example, students enrolled in a foreign language 101 course may have priority to register in the next course sequence (102) for the succeeding quarter.

Special Course Fees

The amounts charged for tuition and fees normally cover University charges for course registration. Some courses, however, have extraordinary expenses associated with them and in such cases, the University may charge additional fees in amounts approximating the added instructional or laboratory costs. Some departments do not charge auditors these fees.

Most course fees will be included in the quarterly tuition bill. Dropping a course with a course fee after the first week of the quarter will not remove the fee from any balance owed. Any adjustment to course fees after the first week of the quarter must be handled by the academic department offering the course.

Variable Credit Courses

Some courses such as independent study, thesis, and dissertation credits are offered for a variable number of credits (whole credits only).

  • Faculty Codes & credits are obtained by contacting the department in order to register for the course on MyUW.
  • Beginning the third week of the quarter through the last day of instruction for the quarter, all variable credit changes require the signature of the instructor by completing the Changes in Variable Credits section of the Registration Transaction form [UoW 2127] and submitting to the Office of the University Registrar, either in person – 2nd floor in Schmitz Hall or via email to regoff@uw.edu.
  • Before the third week of the quarter, variable credit changes must be made by adding and dropping the course on MyUW.

Former Quarter Drop FAQs

FQD FAQs

Your campus registrar will review the FQD and supporting materials. If they can approve your request based on the statement and supporting materials that you have provided with your petition, they will let you know that it was approved and the previous grade earned will be changed to “RD” for Registrar Drop, the grade points and credits will be taken out of your quarterly and cumulative GPA. The course, course number, and RD will remain on your academic transcript.

If the campus registrar is not able to initially approve the petition, it will be referred to the Former Quarter Drop Review Committee. A member of the Committee will contact you to discuss your petition and will recommend a decision to the campus registrar. This process is over a sixty-day (60) period.

If your petition directly indicates that you are seeking a Former Quarter Drop for grade point average (GPA) modification reasons and/or you do not provide information as to why you are only requesting to drop one or more courses and not all of your enrolled courses for the quarter, with adequate supporting statements and materials, your petition is likely to be denied by your campus registration team without being sent to the Former Quarter Drop Review Committee.

Petitions may not be approved if the Former Quarter Drop Review Committee finds that your situation does not meet the criteria outlined for granting a Former Quarter Drop (FQD).

Examples include:

Supporting Materials Issues

  • Supporting materials detailing how the course under petition was specifically affected by the situation (for partial FQDs) is not provided
  • Supporting materials such as death certificate were not provided or the familial relationship to the deceased was not clearly substantiated
  • Third-party professional supporting materials were not provided
  • Supporting materials have not been translated into English by an accredited translator or third-party professional, or their contact information is not provided
  • Supporting materials were provided by family members or friends, as opposed to UW or external professionals not related or personally connected to the petitioner

Other Issues

  • The situation is considered an academic issue, and therefore not under the jurisdiction of the FQD Review Committee.
  • Request was made to improve GPA and/or improve opportunity for internal UW admissions application reasons.
    • The Former Quarter Drop process is not intended for grade renewal on individual courses or for grade forgiveness purposes.
  • The situation is not considered beyond the student’s control
  • A Former Quarter Drop was already granted for the same/similar reason(s) in the preceding quarter
  • The student’s degree has already been conferred.
  • Petitions for students who have already earned their University of Washington degree will not be forwarded to the FQD Review Committee since changes cannot be made to the academic history after a student’s degree has been posted.


Former Quarter Drop

The University of Washington understands that, as a student, you may face a variety of challenges and obstacles while attending the University. The Former Quarter Drop (FQD) process was designed to help you address the impact these challenges and obstacles may have had on your ability to drop your classes using the Current Quarter Drop through the last date of instruction each quarter.

If you are looking to drop a course or courses, or do not wish to complete course(s) for a quarter which is currently in progress, please use the Current Quarter Drop (CQD) process.

What is a Former Quarter Drop?

The Former Quarter Drop process provides students with a method to petition for a grade earned in a former quarter to be changed to a Registrar Drop (RD) due to the student having an extenuating circumstance that prevented them from using the Current Quarter Drop process to drop a course or courses during the quarter. A grade of RD does not impact your cumulative GPA or academic standing.

Former Quarter Drop Policy

A Former Quarter Drop (FQD) may be granted by your campus registration team if you were unable to complete or withdraw from your course(s) using the Current Quarter Drop process during the quarter that you took the class because of extenuating circumstances beyond your control.

What is the Former Quarter Drop Process not to be used for?

  • This is not a process to remove a grade that you did not find satisfactory or to amend your GPA.
  • It is not to be used to drop a course grade after the quarter has ended resulting from the student not being able to drop or withdraw from courses due to registration requirements for maintaining full-time status for scholarships, student visas or athletic eligibility.
  • Failure to formally withdraw by the posted University deadline dates on the Academic Calendar does not warrant a Former Quarter Drop.
  • Academic issues you may have faced as the result of other primary circumstances can be identified in your personal statement, but should not be academic issues such as frustrations with course instruction or with your instructor’s grading of your coursework, as these are not circumstances that justify a Former Quarter Drop. (For addressing these types of academic issues, please review the Grade Appeal Procedure).

How do I apply for a Former Quarter Drop?

The following information provides the 5 steps to follow to allow you to use the FQD process to request to drop a class or classes completed in a quarter that has already ended.

Review all of the steps before submitting your Former Quarter Drop Petition for the best chances for approval.

FQD Process

Make sure you complete the process for the correct campus or program:
Former Quarter Drop Resources for Non-Seattle Students

  • University of Washington Bothell: Former Quarter Drop Process
  • University of Washington Tacoma: Former Quarter Drop Process
  • University of Washington Continuum College/Professional & Continuing Education (UWPCE): Non-matriculated students and students registered in fee-based degree programs through Continuum College should follow the instructions to submit a Former Quarter Drop petition-making sure to select “Continuum College” as their campus.

The Former Quarter Drop process does not apply to students enrolled in non-credit courses or certificate programs offered through UWPCE.

Carefully review the information on Tuition Refunds

Tuition Refund
A Former Quarter Drop is not a petition for a tuition refund; by default, all tuition forfeiture policies will apply to a Former Quarter Drop. Students wishing to submit a Tuition Forfeiture Petition must contact Student Fiscal Services.

Review the Former Quarter Drop eligibility information

  • Student was unable to use the Current Quarter Drop process to drop their courses during the quarter or complete their course(s) because of an extenuating circumstance beyond their control. Students will need to provide supporting materials to demonstrate why they could not use the Current Quarter Drop process to drop during the quarter.
  • The FQD Petition must be submitted within one year of the quarter being petitioned. If a student wishes to submit an FQD Petition beyond the one-year deadline, it must be supported by a UW school professional explaining why the petition should be considered past the one-year deadline.
    1. Petitions outside the one-year deadline will be considered only for a complete withdrawal of courses taken during the last quarter of enrollment prior to a break of at least two quarters before returning to the University.
    2. Petitions will not be considered outside of the one-year deadline for students in continuous enrollment.
  • Former Quarter Drop Petitions cannot be processed once a degree has been conferred.

Review the Former Quarter Drop Review Dates

  • Students seeking to submit an FQD Petition for the quarter currently in progress should be aware that the Former Quarter Drop Review Committee cannot change academic history for approved petitions until grades have been posted. Grades are not posted until after the quarterly grade submission deadline.
  • Most FQD petitions will be reviewed by your campus registration team within 2-3 weeks of the petition’s initial submission date. Petitions referred to the Former Quarter Drop Review Committee requiring additional review may take up to 60 days from the date that the Committee receives your petition to be completed. An email regarding your petition’s decision will be sent to your uw.edu email address.

Former Quarter Drop Request Process

Prior to Submitting the Petition

  • Students are responsible for reviewing all the information and steps to submit a Former Quarter Drop petition on this page before completing and submitting the Former Quarter Drop Petition.
  • Separate FQD Petitions with supporting materials must be submitted for each quarter being petitioned.
  • FQDs will not be granted for coursework that has already been applied to a completed degree.
  • Submission of an FQD Petition does not guarantee it will be approved.
  • International Student Services (ISS) will receive a courtesy notice when an F or J international student is approved for a Former Quarter Drop.
  • Students submitting an FQD Petition within two weeks of the end of the quarter should first consider requesting an “I” (Incomplete) grade from instructors.
  • An active UWNetID is required to access and submit an FQD Petition.
  • Students seeking to submit an FQD Petition for the quarter currently in progress should be aware the Office of the University Registrar cannot change academic history for approved petitions until grades have been posted. Grades are not posted until after the quarterly grade submission deadline.

What To Include In Your Petition

Student personal statements:
What circumstances affected your ability to complete the Current Quarter Drop process (drop the course(s) being petitioned or withdraw from all enrolled courses for the quarter) by the University’s posted drop deadlines?

  • If you are asking for a former quarter drop for fewer than all of your enrolled courses for the quarter, you must provide support for why you were unable to drop your course(s) using the Current Quarter Drop process prior to the last day of instruction for that quarter.
  • Keep in mind that needing to maintain a credit enrollment for financial aid or scholarship reasons does not qualify for the Former Quarter Drop decision process.

Upload your supporting materials
Supporting materials provide evidence to back up your personal statement.

ECQ Late Grading Option Change Request

S/NS to Numeric or Numeric to S/NS

Undergraduate and graduate students may amend their numeric or S/NS original grading options for courses under two very different circumstances related to whether the grading is taking place in Extraordinary Circumstances Quarters (ECQ) or not. Professional students should check with their program registrar to verify if they are eligible for either process.

Extraordinary Circumstances Quarters

EC Quarters versus Non-EC Quarters

Regular Quarters Extraordinary Circumstances Quarters
Applicable Quarters Quarters prior to Spring 2020, and all future quarters NOT designated as extraordinary circumstances quarters. Spring 2020 | Summer 2020 | Autumn 2020 | Winter 2021 | Spring 2021 | Summer 2021 | Winter 2022

The Provost’s Office has not designated Autumn 2021 as an Extraordinary Circumstances Quarter as we have returned to campus for in-person instruction.

NO. This request form is to be submitted only if you want to change a grading mode from S/NS to numerical or numerical to S/NS.

It applies to undergraduate and graduate students. Professional school students should confer with their school registrar to understand how the policy applies to their programs.

The global pandemic’s impact on course delivery mode caused the University to move from in-person to 100% remote delivery courses on March 9, 2020, and enough of the quarter had been completed that students had an option to finish out their coursework. Students entered Spring 2020 knowing that all classes would be delivered 100% remote delivery and had the option to change to S/NS grading from numeric or from numeric to S/NS in MyUW by the end of the seventh week.

These changes also do not apply to Winter 2020 because making changes to the Scholastic Regulations required a legislative process that began in Spring Quarter that required a full vote of the faculty. The Faculty Senate proposed and voted on Class B legislation during Spring Quarter and the Scholastic Regulations Chapter 110, Section 6, e was added on May 29, 2020, allowing for students to follow the new policy for any extraordinary circumstances quarter.

An extraordinary circumstances quarter is one that has had extenuating circumstances that globally or by individual campus have had an impact on grading and student success.

According to Scholastic Regulations Chapter 110, Section 6, e

  • f. Under campus-wide extraordinary circumstances, the campus registrar, in consultation with the appropriate campus faculty body, may waive the restrictions in Sections a through c above so that undergraduates students may opt for S/NS grading for elective or required courses without a maximum credit limitation. S/NS grading for campus-wide extraordinary circumstances deemed quarters will meet graduation and degree requirements. Temporary modifications to the S/NS policies will be clearly communicated to the campus community by the campus registrar.

The University has deemed Spring, Summer, Autumn 2020 and Winter, Spring, Summer 2021, and Winter 2022 as extraordinary circumstances quarters. If additional quarters are added, that information will be posted on this webpage.

No, there is no limit. Students may request changes to their grading option for an extraordinary circumstances quarter as many times as they like until their degree has been posted.

When you take a course S/NS, your grade is converted to an S if you earn at least a 2.0 (undergraduate students) or a 2.7 (graduate students). Your grade is converted to an NS if your grade is below 2.0 (undergraduate students) or below a 2.7 (graduate students). If you earn an NS, you do not receive credit for the course

Yes.

Yes. If you do not want it to count toward your graduation and major requirements you may request that your advisers work with the Office of the University Registrar to not have it count toward your degree or major requirements.

No.

Students may only register for up to 20 credits of S/NS through Personal Services on MyUW. Exceptions may be granted by sending a request to petition@uw.edu.

S and NS grades do not affect your grade-point average. Your GPA will be calculated on the basis of numerically graded courses only.


The S/NS policy, whether for extraordinary circumstances or non-circumstances quarter is related to graduation and degree requirements. There is no connection to this policy and departmental admissions policies. Check with departmental staff to verify how a grade of S/NS will impact your admissibility to a UW academic program/major.

Yes, if you earn an S which is the same as a 2.0. It is also safest to consult with the department offering the course to verify how choosing the S/NS option will impact the pre-requisite applicability for a specific course.

It shouldn’t, but it is best to check with your adviser for your major.

Switching from numeric grading to S/NS could have a positive impact on your academic standing. If you have been dropped for low scholarship or placed on academic probation, and you switch to S/NS, your academic standing can be manually reassessed.

Yes. There have not been any changes to the 60 numerically graded credit requirement for baccalaureate honors, so you would still need 60 numerically graded credits to qualify for baccalaureate honors according to Scholastic Regulations Chapter 110, Section 3. Honors Awards.

Yes. There have not been any changes to the 12 numerically graded credit requirements for Quarterly Dean’s List honors. Likewise, the requirements for Annual Dean’s List have not changed. Details are available at Scholastic Regulations Chapter 110, Section 3. Honors Awards.

Each student’s financial aid situation is unique, please check with your Office of Student Financial Aid advising team for this answer for you.

Yes.

The transcript comment of Global Public Health Emergency Impacted Enrollment is posted on the transcript every quarter between Winter 2020 and Summer 2021, and between Winter 2022 and Summer 2022, but it does not mean these are the Extraordinary Circumstances’ quarters (Spring 2020-Summer 2021, Winter 2022). The reason for this comment is for people in the future to remember when the pandemic had its greatest impact on students and the UW, as a whole.
