New Student / New Program Registration

Registration instructions for students who have applied to Hawkeye and have been accepted.

If you have been accepted to a future semester, but wish to take pre-coursework while waiting to get into your program, contact the Admissions office to activate the appropriate pre-program.

Students are required to register with their Academic/College Success Advisor and complete orientation. Invitations to begin this process are sent to your Hawkeye email.

Priority Registration Information

Many programs have limited availability and their own specific deadlines. Priority registration does not guarantee a seat, as registration is first-come, first serve. Delaying registration may result in your program inactivation. An inactive program means you no longer have a seat reserved.

Important Registration Notes

Each credit for which you register, your Student Account will be charged the current tuition and fee rate.

It is very important for you to attend class beginning the first day.

Non-attendance does not withdraw you from your course(s). If you no longer wish to take the course(s) for which you have registered, you must officially withdraw from the course to avoid being charged.

You must attend class to receive your financial aid award and disbursement. If you are reported as not attending, the course credit hours cannot be included in your financial aid award package. The lesser number of credits may reduce the amount of financial aid you are eligible to receive and your award package will be adjusted accordingly.
