Preparing to register
Autumn 2026 registration will open for continuing PMP students on Monday, June 22.
PMP sections of CSE P courses are at the top of the alphabet (section A, B, etc.). If using MyPlan to locate PMP sections and SLN codes, filter to show PCE courses only or reference only the ‘Professional & Continuing Education’ tab.
UW’s Registration Guide describes pre-registration steps, using MyPlan to locate SLN codes, and completing registration transactions in Register.UW. The Registration and Financials page of the PMP student handbook helps troubleshoot common registration errors.
Non- degree-seeking students
Local professionals, including PMP alumni, who are interested in taking PMP courses without being enrolled in the full master’s program should review information about the PMP’s single course enrollment option.
