Fall 2024 First-Year Enrollment Information

Greetings and welcome to the University of Wisconsin Law School! Below you will find course registration information and important pre-enrollment tasks for the Fall 2024 term. Please read this information carefully.

Registration Process

You will receive an email from the Law School Academic Advisor, Angela Nash, with your assigned courses. A full-time 1L fall schedule is 15 credits, consisting of:

You may begin to register for your assigned courses on Friday, August 9, 2024. You should complete your enrollment by Monday, August 19, 2024. After that date, faculty may begin emailing students important information required for the first week of class and thereafter. You must be enrolled in your courses to receive class-list emails. 

The Law School will NOT entertain individual student requests to change an assigned schedule, as first-year schedules have been carefully balanced to equalize the numbers of students in each.

You will NOT be able to register until:

  1. your designated enrollment time on Friday, August 9;
  2. you’ve completed the "Terms and Conditions Agreement" that the Bursar's Office requires every student to sign; and
  3. if applicable, you’ve resolved any holds on your account.

You will need the five-digit “class number” to register for your assigned courses. The email you receive with your assigned schedule will include class numbers, but for your reference the class numbers for all 1L fall courses are noted below. You should register for all of the doctrinal courses on your assigned schedule, as well as the Legal Analysis, Advocacy & Writing I section to which you have been assigned.

Please follow these instructions for adding and enrolling in courses by class number via Course Search & Enroll. For more information about course enrollment, please visit the Office of the Registrar’s Enrollment Overview website.

After you register, you can view your course schedule via MyUW.

Textbooks

You can view textbook information via the Course Search & Enroll App. Please note that not all faculty have posted their textbook information yet, so do not be alarmed if you don’t have any textbook information listed at this time. For more information about textbooks, please visit the Office of the Registrar’s website on textbook information.

Initial Assignments

Before classes begin, many faculty will post on their course Canvas page an initial assignment that they want students to prepare for the first day of class. Once you are enrolled in a course you can access its Canvas page by logging into Canvas with your NetID and password or via the Canvas app in My UW. Faculty may also communicate assignments and other important course information via their class-list email, so be sure to check your wisc.edu email regularly.

Academic Calendar & Final Exam Schedule

You’ll find the Law School’s academic calendar here. Final exam dates are available on the Fall 2024 course schedule.

Violence-Prevention Program

All incoming law students must complete the University’s violence-prevention program, “Graduate and Professional Students Preventing and Responding to Sexual and Relationship Violence.” The program will be available via Canvas in early August. The UHS Violence Prevention team will email you when the course becomes available on Canvas. Failure to complete the training may impact your ability to register for courses in future semesters.
