Web Registration Procedure

UM-Western Web Registration System (DAWGS)

Registrations via the Internet or web registration on DAWGS, UMW's on-line student information/registration system is available to:

  • current students (or, if between terms, those individuals who were actively enrolled during the immediately preceding term)*
  • newly admitted students who have been notified by the UM-Western Admissions Office that they are cleared to register *  individuals with "holds" on their records are not eligible to utilize web registration services via DAWGS

    If you experience problems with DAWGS, please contact the UM-Western Registrar's Office at (406)683-7371 or toll-free at (866)869-6668.

    Registering for classes via DAWGS is an easy process if you follow the simple instructions below. A word of advice before you begin the actual registration process, be sure to have your class schedule planned including appropriate course titles, department codes, course numbers and course reference numbers (CRNs). Use a Web-Registration Worksheet (pdf file) to summarize your class schedule prior to accessing DAWGS.

    Class Schedule Infomation

    Check the Class Schedules for information on course times, CRN numbers and descriptions. With your completed worksheet, you will want to log onto the Secure Area. You will be asked to enter your User ID Number and your PIN Number (see below). Remember that once you log on to the Secure Area you will be disconnected if 5 minutes pass without any entry.

    To begin the on-line web registration process, access an internet browser, Internet Explorer works best for using DAWGS. Remember, if you enter any invalid data, the system alerts you to the error and prompts you for the correct information. After you add courses, drop courses or change any course options, you must click "Submit Changes". If you log out before you Submit Changes, changes will not take effect. If you have questions about the system or encounter problems with DAWGS, call the Registration Help Line at (406)683-7371.
