Seattle Campus Staff & GIX Staff

When an international student’s registration is blocked, the student who is attempting to register needs to complete the self-serve Online Info Session. As this is a self-serve process, the registration block will be automatically removed 2 business days after the student completes the requirement.

If the student reports any technical difficulties in accessing/completing the online info session, they should contact the ISS Office at the Seattle campus for assistance.

Tacoma Campus Staff

When an international student’s registration is blocked, the student does not need to take action. Instead, a systems issue needs to be resolved with a manual process. Please call 253-692-4762 or email uwtiss@uw.edu to request the manual removal of the international student registration block.
