SPS Course Search and Registration Guide (pdf)
All holds must be cleared before you can register. Please remember, once you register, you are in the class and you will owe tuition for the course(s) selected. It is the student's responsibility to ensure they meet all degree and graduation requirements. Degree Works will be a tremendous help, but if in doubt, please make certain by contacting your advisor.
Prerequisite requirements and course descriptions can be found through your plan in Degree Works and also in the UIW Undergraduate and Graduate Catalogs.
If you have not attended class in more than a year, visit the Returning Student Readmission page.
