Preparing For Registration
Registration is a integrated process that involves academic advisement, course selection, registering (either on-line or through the submission of a registration form), payment of all charges, and attending class. New students may register through the many Orientation/Registration opportunities scheduled through the Office of Admissions. Current students register after first meeting with their academic advisor.
New Students
All new students or prospective students must go through the Admissions office first. To find out what the requirements are for Admission or call (210) 829-6005.
There are two different events that are organized to give all incoming students the best introduction to the UIW campus and it's services to ensure every student's success, they are the following:

Orientations are required for new freshmen. They are designed to help familiarize you with the campus and all available services for students. The program includes advising, registration, information sessions from essential departments such as Financial Aid, Business Office, etc and many more informative activities. It runs from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and there is a $10 fee per guest (limit 2).
