If you are an incoming first-year student at the University of Washington Seattle campus, you don’t have to complete a separate application to enroll in an College Edge course. Please follow registration instructions below.

Before you’re eligible to register, you need to submit your New Student Enrollment & Orientation Fee, confirming that you will be attending the UW in Autumn quarter. You can confirm that you have completed this step by visiting this website. 

Registration Instructions

Registration for all College Edge courses is open starting on May 1, 2025. Course sizes are small (limited to 25 students or less) and seats may fill quickly, so students are strongly encouraged to sign up as soon as possible to secure a spot. 

• Step 1: Log into your First Year Checklist, confirm your commitment to the UW and pay your New Student Enrollment and Orientation Fees. 
• Step 2: Visit the College Edge website to review the Discovery Seminar and English 108 seminar options. 
• Step 3: Select "Register now" button, on your desired course page. Follow the prompts to provide your information, course selection and payment instructions. 
• Step 4: PCE-Continuum College will register you for your chosen College Edge course and add the tuition charge to your student account. You will see the course appear as one of your Autumn quarter 2025 courses. This is an additional fee on top of your regular Autumn quarter tuition. 
• Step 5: *Optional* If you plan to move into a UW Residence Hall for the College Edge program, complete your Early Autumn Quarter Housing application, i

You will receive notification to your UW email address when you are officially registered by PCE Continuum College. See the costs and financial aid page for details.

All College Edge courses are open for registration on a first-come, first-served basis. If a course that you were hoping to take fills before you grab a seat, we recommend selecting another course as a back-up plan. If your desired course is full, you can contact college-edge@uw.edu to request to be added to a waitlist. If a seat opens up, we can contact you to adjust your schedule, as space allows.

Confirming Your Registration

After registration, you will receive an email the day that your College Edge course appears on your MyUW account, as one of your Autumn quarter classes. At that time, the program fee will be added to your student account.

You’ll need a UW NetID to access MyUW. You received information on how to obtain your NetID in your UW acceptance materials. See the UW NetID page for more information.

Last-minute changes to course times and locations sometimes occur. Before the first day of class, check MyUW for any updates.
