Dear University of Washington students,
Welcome to Summer 2025. This message is to provide you with important information about new changes around registration and your transcript that are effective for the 2024–2025 academic year.
You will also find important information about adding, dropping, or withdrawing from any or all of your Summer 2025 courses. You may not need these instructions until later in the quarter, so save this message for future reference.
Summer 2025 Registration Changes
We strongly encourage you to consult with your adviser or advising team before making any of the following changes.
Carefully review these instructions, deadlines, and links. A $20 Change of Registration fee is assessed for any number of add, drop, or change transactions to your Summer 2025 registration. Use the academic calendar to identify at what date this affects you.
UW Academic Calendar 2024-2025
Review the University of Washington 2024-2025 Academic Calendar, especially the “Adding/Dropping Courses or Complete Withdrawal” section for Summer 2025 deadlines.
Request a Religious Accommodation
It is the policy of the University to reasonably accommodate students’ religious observances. Learn more about the Religious Accommodations Policy.
Summer Full & A-term Deadline: Monday, Jul 7, 2025, 5:00 p.m.
Summer B-term Deadline: Friday, Aug 1, 2025, 5:00 p.m.
Time Conflicts
Students who register for two classes which meet for any portion of the same class time are responsible to meet the requirements of each course in terms of exams and instructor expectations.
Drop Courses from Your Schedule
Review the tuition forfeiture policy when considering course drops. You may not get all your tuition back depending on when you drop.
| Period | Fee | Transcript | Drops |
|---|---|---|---|
| Week 1 | |||
| Full & A-term: Jun 23-29, 2025 B-term: Jul 24-30, 2025 |
No fee charged | Course drops do not appear on your transcript | Add and drop courses freely using Register.UW. Withdrawal: Students who drop all their courses will have a withdrawal statement and the date of withdrawal posted to their transcript. |
| Week 2 | Unrestricted Drop Period | |||
| Full-term: Jun 30-Jul 6, 2025 A & B-terms: N/A |
$20 fee charged | Course drops do not appear on your transcript | You may continue to add and drop courses using Register.UW, but you will be charged a $20 Change of Registration fee for all registration changes made on a single day. |
| Week 3 – Last Day of Instruction | Late Course Drop Period | |||
| Full-term: Jul 7-Aug 15, 2025 A-term: Jun 30-Jul 16, 2025 B-term: Jul 31-Aug 15, 2025 |
$20 fee charged | Course drops appear on your transcript | You may drop one class yourself via Register.UW using the self-serve Quarterly Drop. Follow the same instructions as Week 2. To drop multiple classes or an additional class if you already used your Quarterly Drop, use the Adviser-Assisted Drop Request Form. Consult with your adviser, who will check in with you to see if you have questions about dropping classes and will then forward your request to your campus registration team to complete the request.
Additionally: Students whose enrollment depends on maintaining full-time status, including NCAA athletes and F-1/J-1 international students, may not be able to use the self-serve Quarterly Drop. In these cases, use the Adviser-Assisted Drop.

Registrar Drop (RD) Transcript Notation
Students who drop any courses beginning the third week of the quarter will have RD listed on their transcript for those courses.
Withdraw Completely from the Quarter
Week 3 – Last Day of Instruction
Summer Full-term: Jul 7 – Aug 15, 2025
Summer A-term: Jun 30 – Jul 16, 2025
Summer B-term: Jul 31 – Aug 15, 2025
No fee charged. Course drops appear on your transcript.
To withdraw from all your courses, submit the Current Quarter Drop Adviser-Assisted Drop Request Form. Students may not completely withdraw after the last day of instruction. Each dropped course will appear on the transcript with an RD annotation. A withdrawal statement and the date of withdrawal will also appear. Consult with Student Fiscal Services regarding your tuition.
Drop Courses from a Previous Quarter
The Former Quarter Drop (FQD) option lets students request to drop past-quarter courses due to uncontrollable extenuating circumstances which prevented you from using the Current Quarter drop process. There is a one-year submission deadline. If approved, an RD will appear on your transcript for these courses.
Please review the policy and eligibility requirements to determine if this is the right process for you. You may also consider speaking to an adviser to support you through this process if you have questions or need guidance with completing the FQD process.
S/NS Grading
End of Finals Week/Quarter
Summer Full & B-term: Aug 22, 2025
Summer A-term: Jul 23, 2025
Use the S/NS Grading Option Change Process by the last day of the quarter to set your grade mode for eligible classes to S/NS or numeric grading.
Marking a course as S/NS means any requirement that the course might have fulfilled will still need to be completed later to graduate. We recommend you use S/NS grading sparingly. Petitions to revert to numeric grading from S/NS are approved in limited circumstances.
After the last day of finals week, graduate students will not be able to change an S/NS to a numeric grade, as per scholastic regulation 110, 1.B section 5.
The $20 Change of Registration fee applies each time you request a grading option change. Based on your overall financial situation, if incurring the grade change fee creates a hardship, you may want to contact the Office of Student Financial Aid.
Registration Tampering Abuse Policy: Don’t trade, buy, sell, or hold spots in classes!
Know that trading, buying, selling, or holding spots is a breach of the Registration Tampering Abuse Policy. Consequences include referral to the Student Code of Conduct process, a Registrar’s Hold on your record, and potential diploma withholding for graduating students until the conduct process is complete.
Pronouns
The University of Washington is committed to ensuring everyone is welcomed here as their authentic self. You can find a new central online resource on the Husky Health & Well-Being website with important information about Sharing Pronouns at UW.
Manage Your Name Types
The University provides students with the ability to provide the University with a variety of name types associated with your student records. Review the name types and learn how to manage your name.
Please contact your corresponding campus registration team with any questions regarding registration.
