Registration Using SOLAR

Registration Using SOLAR

Students will receive the login path in correspondence from the Admissions Office, along with an Activation PIN, upon admission to UW-Parkside. Registration will be done through SOLAR for any UW-Parkside course you plan to take during the designated self-enrollment timeframe. SOLAR will allow you to search, add, and drop courses.    

As you use SOLAR, you will want to be aware that subscription periods are referred to as “terms.” Be sure to log out of SOLAR when you are done working in it.
