All incom­ing stu­dents will be assigned a tem­po­rary fac­ulty advi­sor later this sum­mer, after admis­sions has been final­ized. This usu­ally takes place toward the end of August, or early Sept.   You will then arrange to meet with your advi­sor between Sept. 16 (when fac­ulty are back on pay­roll after the sum­mer) and the begin­ning of the quar­ter (Sept. 25), to go over your pro­gram plan for the year. 

You can go ahead and reg­is­ter for classes when you are able (PMP stu­dents will reg­is­ter through PCE — see the PMP Infor­ma­tion Cat­e­gory in this blog), all oth­ers will reg­is­ter through MyUW on or after your reg­is­tra­tion date. You can choose classes from your area of inter­est, and any­thing 400–500 level is gen­er­ally OK.  After you meet with your fac­ulty advi­sor you can make changes to your sched­ule if needed dur­ing the first week of the quar­ter with­out any late fees.

Note: Full-time study for grad­u­ate stu­dents is 10 Credits.
