STEP 5) REGISTRATION

Review our Registration webpage for detailed registration information!

You can register for open CSE classes after your major is changed . For full courses, watch the time schedule and plan to attend the first few days of the quarter even if you are not yet registered. You can also sign-up on the UW's Notify system to hear when space is free.

You are not required to take CSE courses in your first quarter as a CSE major, and class space may be limited by the time you register. Please be flexible in planning your schedule.

For long-term planning, check out our teaching schedule. Though officially tentative, you can safely plan based on this schedule.
