Considering the size of UW, I was surprised about how accessible the staff was and how easy it was to sign-up as a non-matriculating student. The people in financial services are friendly and extremely helpful. I took a summer class for credit, but I didn't definitively know from my school whether I would receive credit until after the add/drop date had ended. It took a little work to find the right person, but they told me they would make an exception, and give me a full refund if I needed to drop the class late. It's a well-managed school.
