Schedule of Classes Resources
The Schedule of Classes (SoC) is the official listing of all classes offered in a given term at UWM. The list includes information on catalog and section numbers, course titles, meeting pattern (days/times met), room assignment, enrollment capacity, and special enrollment instructions.
The online SoC provides information on class offerings with advanced search functions. Information on General Education Requirements, SoC policies, and the final exam schedule is also listed for each term.
The SoC is compiled and entered into PAWS by departmental schedule builders in the individual schools and colleges at UWM. The SoC information in PAWS is maintained and supported by the Registrar’s Office.

Once CLSS is locked, edits to the schedule are not permitted. Scheduling units with errors can not be bridged to PAWS, and general assignment classrooms will not be assigned. Extensions to resolve errors will not be granted, as room assignments must begin according to the schedule outlined above.
Effective 2024, UWinteriM will open in Refine Mode and the Pre-Enrollment Phase.
Production Roles
The two main roles responsible for the building and maintenance of the Schedule of Classes for their College are:
- Schedule Builders are responsible for the collection, organization, and entry of the section data into CLSS during the Development Phase as well as maintaining this data throughout the SoC cycle. Each academic department or program that has class offerings is required to have a designated schedule builder.
- SoC Coordinators are responsible for oversight of the SoC production process for all the academic departments and programs within a School or College.
