Register early

Registrations are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, if the fee is included. To find out if a class with limited enrollment is still open, call 608-262-2451. Late enrollments are accepted if there is room in the class.

Refunds

For limited-enrollment programs, 80 percent of the fee is refunded if the registration office receives your notice of withdrawal at least 48 hours before the program begins. For other noncredit programs, an 80 percent refund is made if the registration office receives your notice before the second meeting. No refund is made after that time.

Cancellation of classes

Noncredit classes are canceled if other classes on the UW-Madison campus are canceled due to weather or other emergencies. Madison-area radio and TV stations announce cancellations. If a single program is canceled, you will be notified by phone. Please include your daytime and evening phone numbers on the registration form.
