Registering for Informatics classes as an Informatics major

Majors have priority when enrolling for classes offered through the program. Once accepted to the major, Informatics students may register for Informatics classes during Period I registration. Please keep the following in mind:

  • Internships for credit, service learning, and independent study / research require approval from the Informatics academic advisor. You can find more information on registering for experiential learning courses here.
  • If you need an add code for a course due to alternate or waived prerequisites, class standing, or other issues, please email informatics@uw.edu at least one week in advance of your registration date.
  • If you are new to the major, please read our Registration FAQ.

Registering for Informatics classes as a non-major

Non-majors are able to enroll in classes in the Informatics major as space is available. There is no restriction on the number of Informatics courses non-majors may take. During Period I and Period 2 registration, students already enrolled in the major have priority in registering for classes. Informatics classes are available to non-majors during Period 3 registration.
