Steps to Register for Fall & Spring Courses
STEP 1: Check UW email for message from your advisor
Every UW student has been assigned an advisor and will receive an email from their advisor regarding registration for the upcoming semester.
STEP 2: Ensure you have no holds
Students cannot register for next semester’s classes if they currently have any holds. Before you can register, all items on this checklist must be listed with a green check mark. Students can find the status of any holds through the Navigate app. Please note, there will be an “Advising Hold.” This hold will be cleared after students complete their advising meeting.
STEP 3: Set appointment with your advisor
Meeting with an advisor is required to register for classes. During this meeting, they will help find options that fit the student’s major and semester schedule. Students who are unsure who their advisor is or can't find an email from them should contact the appropriate advising centers. The complete list can be found in the UW Advising Directory.
STEP 4: Get started
Visit the WyoRecords Portal to start the registration process. Once inside WyoRecords, click the “Registration” tab, then choose “Register for Classes”. Once the student option is selected student, you are ready to select your classes.
STEP 5: Register for classes
At your designated day and time for registration (and as long as there are no holds on the student record), select “Register for Classes” again, before searching for desired classes with the “Find Classes,” “CRN” (Course Record Number), or “Schedule and Options” tabs. An “Advanced Search” option is also available. Your advisor should provide you with your day and time of registration. You can also find it on the Student Profile page under “Registration Notices”.
