- Is there step-by-step help on how to use the system?
Yes, but you must make all changes in a single transaction. Mark the “drop” check-box next to the quiz or lab you are currently registered for and enter the Schedule Line Number (SLN) for the quiz or lab. Then click submit.
No, you are allowed to move from one quiz section to another without using your annual drop if you include all requests in the same transaction.
- Will I be charged a fee if I change from one quiz section to another after the first week of the quarter?
Yes, any adjustment to your schedule after the 7th calendar day of the quarter will result in a course change fee.
No, you must select from the list of related quiz sections immediately following a specific lecture section in the Time Schedule.
- I want to overload into a course that has both a lecture and a quiz section. Do I need an Entry Code for both?
Yes.
Prerequisites apply to both the lecture and the quiz. Registration restrictions however may differ between the lecture and quiz sections.
No, not necessarily. Quiz section course limits may not match the limit for the lecture. Departments may change the limit of either the lecture or quizzes, as a means of managing registration.
No, if a primary lecture section has a secondary component (quiz, lab, etc.), you must enter in the Schedule Line Numbers (SLN) for both.
No. The system will remind you that you must drop the lecture and the lab, quiz, or any other secondary section all in the same transaction.
The lecture (primary) section only will be listed on your UW transcript.
- I’m only allowed one annual drop. Will I be able to drop both a lecture and a quiz after the second week of the quarter and have it count as one drop?
Yes, the system will count one lecture and one quiz of the same group as one drop.
Yes, we have posted step-by-step documentation (including screen shots) at the Student Systems Help Center.
