If your home institution requires a course outline, please contact the Office Assistant at 204.258.3030. Please be advised the course outlines may not be available until shortly before a course begins.
Visiting students are only able to register for those courses listed on the Letter of Permission, and only if there is space available. Visiting students must have completed course work equivalent to any UW prerequisites. Certain courses are not available to Visiting students. You should keep a copy of your Letter of Permission, in case you need it to register in courses.
