Registering for Courses

Register through MyUW.

Registration dates for each quarter are provided in the University’s academic calendar.

You are able to register for most Food Systems, Nutrition, and Health (NUTR) courses without an entry or faculty code. The only courses that require entry or faculty codes are those with limited space or those requiring signed paperwork: NUTR 532; NUTR 595; NUTR 600/700/800. To receive a code for one of these courses, please submit the appropriate form (below) to gradnutr@uw.edu.

Fieldwork (NUTR 532) and Practicum (NUTR 595)

MPH students register for NUTR 532 and NUTR 595, usually in their second year.

• For NUTR 532 (Fieldwork), submit the Fieldwork Agreement (doc).
• For NUTR 595 (Practicum; GCPD students register for NUTR 561), submit the MPH Practicum Learning Contract (doc).

These completed forms must be submitted before you register. You will not receive entry codes without them.
