Steps to Register

  1. Have your PRISM User ID and Password Ready

    You must have your PRISM User ID and Password to register. If you forget your PRISM user ID or password, the UW Colleges Student Account Self Service page will help you to retrieve that information.

  2. View the Tutorials

    We encourage you to view the Student Help tutorials before registering, even if you have taken classes with us in the past.

  3. Sign in to PRISM

    1. Navigate to the PRISM Home Page
    2. Sign in using your user ID and password

  4. Register for Classes

    Prior to registering in PRISM, all students are encouraged to coordinate class scheduling with the assistance of their home campus academic advisor. Failure to use the academic advising services can result in missed opportunities, overlooked requirements, and transfer problems.

    To register for a class, read the instructions provided in the Add a Class PRISM Student Help Tutorial. When registering in PRISM, the Subject is a 3-letter abbreviation (e.g. ENG for English) and the Catalog Number is 3 digits (e.g. 102).

    If the class is closed, you can use the UW Colleges Online Wait List Request Form to add your name to the waitlist. You must have a UW-Colleges e-mail address to request placement on a wait list. Wait list requests are processed in the order they are received, and wait lists are cleared once registration has closed for the current term.

  5. Pay the Tuition Fees

    Your seat in the course is not secure and your registration is not complete until your online tuition is paid in full, OR until UW Colleges Online confirms you have sufficient financial aid to cover your Online tuition in full. Failure to meet this requirement will result in your removal from your course(s) when a course is full or at the close of registration. The administrative fee is non-refundable after the last day of Online registration. You will not receive an invoice; tuition must be paid online.

    To pay online:

    1. Sign in to PRISM
    2. Select Self Service > Student Center > Make a Payment
    3. Follow the on-screen instructions

    Note: additional charges apply when paying with credit card. MasterCard and Discover are accepted.

  6. To Secure your Seat with Financial Aid:

    1. Download the consortium agreement or memorandum of agreement specific to your home campus:
    2. Complete the appropriate form and return it to UW Colleges Online

    You are responsible for payment of your UWC Online tuition. If your UWC Online tuition is not being paid to us directly from your home campus financial aid, full payment of your UW Colleges tuition and fees is due within 10 business day of disbursement. You can make payment online by following the directions above or by mailing a check to:
