Check the UW Academic Calendar for a list of registration dates and deadlines. These are emailed to cs-grads@cs quarterly and also added to the Grad Advising Events Calendar.
If you will hold an RA or TA in the quarter for which you’re registering, you will need to register for 10-18 credits. If you register for fewer than 10 credits, your tuition waiver will not be applied. If you register for more than 18 credits, you will pay for the extra credits yourself. If you think you need to go under 10 or over 18, email grad-advising@cs for help before registering.
