What if I need a fully remote/online schedule?
If you need a fully remote/online schedule, you can enroll in online courses. You do not need permission and you do not need to let anyone know you plan to have a fully remote schedule.
To find classes that are completely online select “Online Only” in the Mode of Instruction filter when searching for classes. Some classes that will be returned in your search will have both online and in-person sections, so be sure to select sections that say ONLINE in the location column.
What if I want more in-person classes?
To find classes that are in-person select “Classroom Only” or “Online (Some Classroom) in the Mode of Instruction filter when searching for classes. Some classes that will be returned in your search will have both online and in-person sections, so be sure to select sections that list a building and room number in the location column.
You can also add yourself to the wait list of an in-person section, if one is available.
What if a class now conflicts with another?
If a class now conflicts with another, you can attempt to resolve the conflict by enrolling in different sections or find another course that fulfills that same requirement.
If these steps do not resolve the conflict, talk to your advisor who might be able to help you find another course.
What if I don't like my new schedule?
While all schedules may not be the ideal schedule you wanted, we hope you will join us in being flexible and understanding of the extra efforts we all need to make during this turbulent time.
What if there are more changes made to my enrolled classes?
While we don’t anticipate many additional changes to be made to Fall 2020 courses, we encourage you to check your UW email regularly. You will be notified of any future changes to your enrolled classes by email.
How do I know if I need to be available at a specific day/time for my online class?
If a class has a specific day/time listed, there is a scheduled time for instruction to occur. Students are expected to be available for online learning at that day/time (Central Time). Many Class Notes indicate: “This class section requires students to be available to participate in online learning at the day/time listed (Central Time).”
Online classes that do not have a day/time listed do not require students to be available to participate at a specific time.
It is important to check the Class Note for information on how the course will function.
What if I am an international student and have more questions?
Please refer to the guidance provided by International Student Service (ISS) for information specific to international students.
What if I need a specific course to graduate or progress and it is not offered in the format I need?
