Understanding Class Search

This page gives a rough idea of how to read class search but has not been updated since 2020. There are new Instruction Modes for Videoconferencing.

Where can I view the Schedule of Classes?

Most students will use Class Search in myWSU to view class options. For video instructions on using the Shopping Cart, Dropping Classes, and more, visit the Registrar's How To Video page. Many Advisors use the RONet Schedule of Classes, a website linked to myWSU and maintained by the Registrar's Office. Students can not enroll in classes on this site, but it can be an easier way to view courses quickly. Examples are provided using both myWSU and Schedule of Classes.
