Waldo Library research carrel applications
Faculty and graduate students can apply to use a research carrel for one academic year. Graduate students must provide a letter from a faculty member or the Dean of the Graduate College, supporting the research nature of the request, along with their application. Incomplete applications or applications without a detailed description will not be considered. Applications are accepted online. Carrels will be assigned as they become available. Carrel assignments run through the end of the 2023-24 academic year in mid-June 2024.
Spring 2024 course offerings open for viewing Oct. 9; registration begins Oct. 23
There are two ways to view course offerings: Course Lookup and goWMU.
Students may withdraw from fall courses until Oct. 30
The drop/add period concluded earlier this week. Dropping a course is now considered a withdrawal and will show on transcripts with a grade of "W". Courses can be withdrawn in goWMU until Oct. 30.
Note: A 24-hour grace period is provided to students who drop a course that meets for the first time on or after the end of the drop/add period. Students dropping a course within 24 hours of the start date should be encouraged to contact the Registrar's Office to make sure they receive the correct refund.
