Hello folks,
It’s come to our attention yet again that some students are “holding” courses for their friends and then dropping them so their friend with a lower priority registration can register. This is strictly forbidden by UW policy. As is using any sort of unfair advantage to obtain courses.
We do have the ability to see exactly when a course is added and who takes the spot, so we will be following up on any suspect cases and will place holds on your account if we find this to be happening. You will also be reported to the UW Registrar’s office.
Please, let’s all be team players here and work together through this process. It isn’t a perfect process, but if everyone actually follows the rules, it really does work out better than you might think.
Thank you.
