Register for Summer

Summer registration is conducted in three phases, depending on what type of student you are. Please refer to the Registrar's website for important dates and deadlines.

6-week courses run June 24 - August 1, 2025.
9-week courses run from June 24 - August 22, 2025.

Short courses have specific durations. This will be listed in the course information on Browse Classes.

Current WWU Student

Enrolled WWU students continuing from spring will register via Browse Classes during Phase I (May 6-11), depending on how many credits you have earned. Select the upcoming summer term and choose your search terms. Click on a course title to get detailed information, including prerequisites and course fees.

Search Tip: Use Delivery Methods / Attributes to search for face-to-face, hybrid, or online classes. You can further refine your search by adding Online-Synchronous or Online-Asynchronous.

Community Member

For those not currently working toward a degree at WWU (non-admitted or working towards reinstatement), you will first submit a Summer Session 2025 application.

48 hours after you receive your W number from the Registrar’s Office, you will be able to log into your Patient Portal, where you can submit your Proof of Measles (MMR) Immunization.

Once this is processed, you will be notified by the Registrar that you are clear to register during Phase II (May 12 - June 23). Register via Browse Classes.
