S/NS Grading Option Change Process

  • Last day to change to or from S/NS grade option with a $20 fee

Graduating spring 2024?

For those of you graduating at the end of the quarter, congratulations!

While spring quarter grades are due at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, June 11, and posted to transcripts the following day, it may take several weeks once the quarter has ended for your degree to be granted and posted to your transcript.

Students who have completed all requirements to graduate will get an email confirming their official graduation status once their degree is granted. This email will have the subject “University of Washington Notification of Degree Posting: Next Steps.” It will be sent from registra@uw.edu to your uw.edu email address. If you haven’t already done so, be sure to set up email forwarding from your UW email account, as you will lose access to your UW email in the months following your last quarter of registration.
