On This Page: Registration Timeline | How to Register for UW Credit | Registration Confirmation
Any student who is enrolled in and passes a UW course at their high school earns high school credit. If you wish to earn UW credit at the same time, you must register through UWHS using the process described below by the applicable deadline.
Due to new Washington state funding to support College in the High School courses, students who attend public schools can register to earn UW credit in UW courses offered through UW in the High School at no cost. Private school students pay $83/credit. Learn more about payment.
Registration Timeline
The registration window opens at the beginning of each course, as soon as your teacher hands out the registration materials. We encourage you to register as soon as possible so you don’t miss the registration deadlines. For the 2026–2027 school year, the registration deadlines are:
| 2026–2027 School Year | Registration Deadline |
|---|---|
| First semester and year-long courses | October 16, 2026 |
| Second semester courses | March 3, 2027 |
How to Register for UW Credit
After the course begins, your teacher will distribute registration materials to students who are eligible to register for UW credit.
Registration Closed
Students who were unable to register before the October 16 deadline due to extreme extenuating circumstances may submit a Late Registration Petition form by October 31. UWHS staff will review each request and contact the petitioner by email with a decision within two business days. Approved petitioners will receive a time-sensitive prompt to register for a course, so students should monitor their email, including spam folders, closely.
Registration Confirmation
After you register through one of the above methods, Registration Services will process your registration and email a registration confirmation to the email address you provide. This will be your confirmation that you’re registered for UW credit. Note: This process may take several weeks due to the high volume of registrations.
If you’re a private school student, after you register, you’ll get a separate email in one to two business days with a link to a secure payment site to pay your course fee.
