It's Never Too Early to Think About Summer
Following are dates, deadlines and procedures that are important to be aware of as you prepare to enroll for the summer 2008 semester.

-
The eight-week Summer 2008 session begins June 10, 2008.

How to get ready:
- Review your Degree Evaluation and Degree Progress Worksheet
- Access your current Degree Evaluation online via ISIS > Student Records > Degree Evaluation (current) listed under Courses & Grades.
- Contact your advisor if you don’t have your Degree Progress Worksheet and need another one.
- Don’t remember who your advisor is? It’s listed on your Degree Evaluation and in ISIS > Student Records > Major & Advisor. Nancy Romine is the academic counselor for BAS students.
- Complete the online application and pay the re-entry fee by credit card.
- If you’ve enrolled in another college or university since you last took University of Iowa courses, you must also have an official transcript sent to The University of Iowa Office of Admissions.
- Deadline for Application for Re-entry is two weeks before classes open.
- Review Summer 2008 session course offerings on the ISIS schedule of courses.
- Courses became available for viewing on March 10, 2008.
- For instructions on searching for courses using the ISIS Web site, including a video tutorial, see Find A Course.
- Remember to review prerequisites, listed on the ISIS Course Detail page.
- Need to know which UI departments are part of each Distribution Area? See listing at http://www.continuetolearn.uiowa.edu/ccp/blsbas/distareas.htm
- Pay attention to any courses that require special permission to register.
- Contact your advisor to discuss your course selections for Summer 2008 session.
- If this is your first enrollment in University of Iowa semester-based course work, your advisor will need to request your record be set-up for spring registration.
- If you weren't registered in term-based UI courses in the spring semester, your advisor will need to request your record be set-up for spring registration.
- Your advisor gives her approval by electronically authorizing you to register. (Alternately, she may give you a registration number you will have to enter when you register.)
- Discuss courses requiring special permission with your advisor.
- Clear any “not permit” blocks on your record. ISIS alerts you to such blocks and directs you to the appropriate office to resolve them. You may be blocked from registration due to:
- overdue U-Bill
- failure to provide health immunization records to Student Health (For additional details, please see article below.)
- failure to provide required transcript to Admissions
- Your pre-scheduled registration date and time will be listed on ISIS. This date and time is the earliest you can register. You are allowed to register until the day before a course begins.
- Remember, courses may fill-up or be cancelled due to low enrollment, so the earlier you register, the better!
- We highly recommend you register at least 2 weeks prior to the course start date to allow time to order textbooks, take care of unforeseen registration problems, and allow time for automated computer processes to run.
Ready to enroll?
- Log in to ISIS with your Hawk ID and password.
- You must be authorized to register by your advisor. (see How to Get Ready above)
- Follow the Registration link in the light gold navigation bar near the top of the page.
- Select Power Registration to search for courses. An Add button will allow you to register for a course if it’s open.
- Only use Rapid Registration if you know the exact course AND section you want and it’s open for registration.
- You can switch back and forth between the 2 registration methods without being “unregistered.”
- As you add courses, you will see your schedule being built at the top of the registration screen.
- You will be assessed tuition for courses in which you have registered.
- Questions? Follow the ISIS Help link or go directly to http://isis.uiowa.edu/isis/help/registration.page
- Review (and/or print) your completed schedule. There are various paths for this including a link from the schedule automatically created as you register.
- A handy review of your personal information, course schedule, Significant Deadline Dates, and more, is available via ISIS > Student Records > Enrollment Summary.
What if you change your mind?
- You should confer with your advisor if you plan to change your registration.
- Make sure you understand the financial and academic consequences of dropping or adding a course. Consult the Registrar’s Academic Deadlines. Highlights for spring session are also listed below.
- Keep in mind there may also be consequences affecting your financial aid, health insurance, or progress toward your degree.
- You can add or drop courses via ISIS through the day before a course starts. There is no fee to add or drop during this period and your tuition will be adjusted as appropriate.
- After the course starts, you will no longer be able to drop or add yourself on ISIS.
- You’ll need permission from the instructor, your advisor, and, depending on the date, the dean of the college offering the course in order to drop or add a course that’s already started.
- To determine what permissions you need consult Course Deadlines Lookup.
- Contact our office if you need assistance in determining who to contact for permissions.
- Students with access to campus may take signed add/drop forms to Registrar’s Service Center, 17 Calvin Hall.
- Students at a distance may request permissions by e-mail. Permissions should be forwarded to credit-programs-register@uiowa.edu.

How to Remove Student Health "Not Permit" Block
If you are a distance education student and have a “Not Permit” for “Student Health” reason, you will not be able to register on ISIS for spring classes.
In order to permanently remove the Student Health “Not Permit” block, contact:
Provide proof of two MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) vaccinations. Most individuals have had to meet this requirement for primary school, so the easiest way to locate your records is to check with your physician's office, school system, or childhood records through your parents. If cannot find your records, you may have the MMR at Student Health. Please see MMR Frequently Asked Questions.
To temporarily remove the Student Health “Not Permit” block, contact:
An enrollment staff member at DE will contact the Student Health Center for you and your “Not Permit” will be removed only for the summer session. For the following summer and fall sessions, you will once again have to call DE and request that the “Not Permit” be removed. This process will have to be repeated for each session.
If you intend to register for on-campus courses, you must provide proof of two MMR vaccinations to Student Health Services.
