L&S Academic Deadline Reminder!

We want to remind you that various academic deadlines, including dropping a class without academic dean approval and withdrawing from the university (dropping all of your classes), are approaching. Fall 2023 deadlines are Friday, November 24, 2023, the day after Thanksgiving. 

Note: these deadlines only apply to full semester-length courses. To see the deadlines for other courses, check Course Search & Enroll.

If you are considering dropping a course or withdrawing, we encourage you to consult with your instructors and academic advisor before the Thanksgiving holiday break. Not sure who your advisor is? Use this advisor search resource.

Learn more about enrollment dates and deadlines on the

Office of the Registrar website.

FAQ: Waitlists in Comp Sci

If a course is full, the course will show “available waitlist seats”.

If a course is full, you will have to enroll into the waitlist of the course. As CS processes waitlists, open course seats will be given to students on the waitlist. If you enroll or try to swap into a course that is waitlisted with available seats, you will be placed on the waitlist.

When are seats given away?

Daily waitlist processing will start Thursday, November 30. We will process waitlists daily until Wednesday, December 13. If you are on a waitlist, make sure to check your @wisc.edu email address for any notices regarding enrollment.

During Finals through the middle of Winter Break, CS will process waitlists 2x a week (check your emails on Tuesdays and Fridays).

CS will go back to processing waitlists daily starting Tuesday, January 16.

How do I enroll?

You will not be automatically enrolled in the course – you must take action and enroll through the enroll app. The waitlist invites expire after 24 – 48 hours, so make sure to enroll right away.

What if I absolutely need this course?

Please work with your CS advisor. Advisors cannot let you off a waitlist in appointments but can discuss options with you.

Spring 24: Peer Mentor Positions in Comp Sci

Computer Sciences opened our Fall 23- Spring 24 interest collection process for undergraduate students interested in working as a Peer Mentor.

Find more information about this role and the link to submit your interest form at our newly launched CS Jobs within the CS Department website.

Requesting Graduate Courses

Undergraduates who would like to request enrollment into a Graduate course will need to fill out the request form HERE. We can make a note once you have submitted the form that the professor has given their approval.

Please be aware that the CS Department will allow Graduate students to enroll first. If seats are still available, we will start processing Undergraduate requests in January. We advise students to always fill their schedules with open, available courses as we cannot guarantee enrollment into a Graduate course.
