Spring 2026 First-Year Enrollment Information

Below you will find course registration information and important pre-enrollment reminders for the Spring 2026 term. Please read this information carefully.

Registration Process

You will receive an email from Law School Academic Advisor, Angela Nash, with your assigned course schedule. A full-time 1L spring schedule is 15 credits, consisting of:

You may begin to register for your assigned courses on Tuesday, November 11, 2025. You should complete your enrollment by Monday, January 5, 2026. After that date, faculty may begin emailing students important course information. You must be enrolled in your courses to receive class-list emails. 

The Law School cannot entertain individual student requests to change an assigned schedule, as first-year schedules have been carefully balanced to equalize the numbers of students in each.

You will not be able to register until:

  1. your designated enrollment time on Tuesday, November 11;
  2. you’ve completed the Pre-Enrollment Checklist; and
  3. if applicable, you’ve resolved any holds on your account.

You will need the five-digit “class number” to register for your assigned courses. The email with your assigned schedule will include class numbers, but for your reference the class numbers for all 1L spring courses are noted below. You should register for all of the doctrinal courses on your assigned schedule, as well as the Legal Analysis, Advocacy & Writing II section to which you have been assigned. These are the only courses you will enroll in. 

Please follow these instructions for adding and enrolling in courses by class number via Course Search & Enroll. For more information about course enrollment, please visit the Office of the Registrar’s Enrollment Overview website.

After you register, you can view your course schedule in both Course Search & Enroll and in MyUW. 

Textbooks

You can view textbook information via the Course Search & Enroll App. Please note that textbook information may not be available until closer to the start of the spring term. For more information about textbooks, please visit the Office of the Registrar’s website on textbook information.

Initial Assignments

Before the semester starts, instructors may post an initial assignment on their course’s Canvas page for students to complete in preparation for the first day of class. Once you are enrolled in a course you can access its Canvas page by logging into Canvas with your NetID and password or via the Canvas app in My UW. Faculty may also communicate assignments and other important course information via their class-list email, so be sure to check your wisc.edu email regularly.
