Step 5: Enroll in Classes
Once you have activated your UW-Stout Microsoft account and completed your SAC, you may enroll yourself into the course(s) via Access Stout.
Course Prerequisites: If you wish to take a course that has a prerequisite requirement, you will need to provide the course instructor an unofficial transcript or exam score (AP or CLEP) or get instructor permission to override a prerequisite. Once you receive this permission from the course instructor, email it to registrar@uwstout.edu.
Double check after you have completed the process that you are fully enrolled (that the classes have been moved from your shopping cart, you’ve finished enrolling and you received a message of SUCCESS with a green check mark).
