Classes and scheduling

Below are the School of Information Sciences class schedules organized by term. Online (WEB) classes do not require any physical class meetings and most are asynchronous delivery (meaning no regularly-scheduled real-time sessions). Exceptions (such as required online meeting times) are noted in the class section information.

Browse the full WSU Schedule of Classes here.

*Some classes may be listed more than once on the schedule below. Synchronous online courses will have each meeting date listed separately. Please compare CRN numbers for the courses to determine if there are multiple meetings for the same course (same CRN listed) or different sections (different CRNs listed).

Textbook information is available through the WSU bookstore.

Note: International Students on F1 Visas are restricted to ONE web/online class per semester.

The school has created a master schedule to help students better plan their schedules. The master schedule lists all the courses in the school's catalog and indicates which term(s) the courses are scheduled to be offered.

Waitlist

SIS uses the waitlist feature available through the registration section of Academica for all classes that are not cross-listed with other departments. After adding yourself to the list, if a spot opens in a closed class, the next student on the waitlist is sent an email to their WSU AccessID email. Students have 24 hours to register for the class, otherwise the open seat will be offered to the next student on the waitlist.
