What is Registration?

Registration is the formal process of becoming a member of the University, enabling you to attend lectures, receive tuition, sit exams, use the library and other facilities and be a member of the Guild of Students.  In order to attend a class at UWI, a student must first register for the course.  Registration involves a series of steps that a student must follow to officially register for a course. 

 

What Registration Means

A student is deemed to have registered for a course when his/her financial obligations to the University have been fulfilled.

Registration for a course constitutes registration for the examinations in that course.
