Use these instructions to register a UW led youth program. You may also view a video version of this tutorial. For additional information about the YPRS, visit our YPRS homepage or watch our video introduction.

Step 1. Log into the Youth Program Registration System with your UW NetID and password.
Step 2. From the dashboard, select “Register a Youth Program.”
Step 3. The first screen asks In-Scope Questions, intended to ensure programs are within the scope of APS 10.13 and to guide you to the correct registration form for your program type. To register a UW led youth program, answer them as follows:
-
- Is this program’s sole purpose to provide a health-related clinical service to youth as patients in a clinical setting (e.g., pediatric clinic)?
- No
- Is the University of Washington responsible for operation (e.g., overseeing programming, logistics, providing supervision, etc.) of this program as a sole lead, or as a lead partner with a third party?

Step 4. Click “Select/Create a Youth Program.”

Step 5. Enter the following about your program:

You may also change this after submitting your registration form using these instructions.

You may use the “copy” features to copy details from the session you just entered to the new one. Or, simply follow the steps above for each session of the program you will offer.
Step 9. When you have entered your last session, click “Next” at the bottom of the page.
Step 10. If you are missing any required information, the incomplete fields will be listed on the next page. Revisit any tabs highlighted in red to input missing information.
