Admitted Student Registration

An admitted student is a student who is seeking a degree, has filed an application, and has been accepted by the Admissions Office. An admitted student may attend the University full- or part-time and may qualify for a variety of financial aid, depending upon resources and credit load.

All admitted students may register themselves in MyBlugold.

There are, however, a few requirements to use MyBlugold for registration:

  • PIN - Personal Identification Number. Your PIN is required for initial logon using this format, uwec?xxxx, substituting xxxx with your four digit PIN. Every student who is enrolled in a credit course is assigned a PIN. If you do not have one, contact Registration Services. After the initial logon, you will be prompted to change your password with specific criteria. From that point on you will use the new password to access MyBlugold.
  • PAC - Personal Advising Code. All students are encouraged to consult with their academic advisers when planning course selections. Student in the following categories, however, must have their adviser's approval to register: (1) Freshmen and Sophomores (fewer than 60 earned credits, (2) Juniors and Seniors (60 or more earned credits) who are not in good academic standing, (3) all transfer students without a previous degree, (4) High School Specials, and (5) except MBA students, all classified graduate students who have not yet filed an approved degree program plan. The registration system requires students in the above categories to enter a PAC when registering. PACs are issued by advisers, not the Registration office.
  • $100 Down Payment. A minimum down payment of $100 is required of all students before registering. Payments should be made at or mailed to the Cashier, Schofield 108. Also, any prior fee obligations must be paid before a student can register for a future term.
  • Permissions. Some courses require permission to enroll from the department or an instructor. In addition, any exceptions to policies (e.g., overloads, prerequisites, minimum classification or GPA, admission to a professional level course, etc.) must be approved in advance. If approved, department chairs and deans will enter a code on an electronic permission file. You can check the permissions you have been granted on MyBlugold by going to the My Info tab and then clicking on the Registration Appointment and Holds link.
  • Registration Time Registration times are scheduled on the basis of total earned credits projected to the end of the semester and are scheduled so as not to conflict with students current class schedules. See Priority Registration for an explanation of assignment of registration times by student classification. You can check your registration time on MyBlugold (see My Info, Registration Appointment and Holds).You may register at or any time after your assigned day/time, but not before. However, you should use MyBlugold to check your eligibility to enroll, either generally or for specific classes and to check open class lists before your appointment. Also, make an appointment to see your adviser well BEFORE your registration time!

Special Student Registration

A special student is not currently seeking a degree or has not applied to be accepted to the University. Special students are limited to six credits per semester (or two courses if credits exceed six) and do not qualify for most forms of financial aid. For additional explanation of "special student" please see the Admission as a Special Student section in the University Catalogue.

  • $100 Deposit and Payment Plan Agreement. A minimum down payment of $100 is required of all students before registering. You will receive a bill for the remaining fees if you choose to pay only $100 with your Special Student Application. If you have never taken a class as a special student before, you should mail your $100, payable to UW-Eau Claire, with a completed Payment Plan Agreement to Registration Services. If you have taken courses as a special student before then your payments should be made at or mailed to the Cashier, Schofield 108. Also, any prior fee obligations must be paid before a student can register for a future term.
  • Application/Registration. Special students must register for courses by submitting the Special Student Application with Course Selection Form to Registration Services. When your Application and Course Selection Form is received and your $100 deposit with a Payment Plan Agreement is submitted, your registration will be entered on an assigned date by a Registration staff member. A schedule/bill will be mailed to you to confirm your registration.
  • Permissions. Some courses require permission to enroll from the department or an instructor. If you have any question as to whether the course you would like to take requires permission, please contact Registration at (715) 836-2425.
  • Dropping a Course. Please see Special Students Dropping Courses section on the Add/Drop page.
  • Grades. Please visit the Grades section of Student Services.
  • PIN - Personal Identification Number. Every student who is enrolled in a credit course is assigned a PIN. Special student PINs will be mailed to you when your registration is processed. If you do not have one, contact Registration Services.
  • Special students (not admitted to UWEC taking undergraduate courses) register last, usually the day before the first day of classed for a semester.
