Key dates, Deadlines & Information
Key Dates, Deadlines & Information
AccessPlus Registration
Hours: 7 a.m.- 11 p.m., Monday-Saturday.
Academic Probation
Academic probation is an indication of very serious academic difficulty which may result in dismissal from the university. Students may
be placed on academic probation as a result of either semester GPA, cumulative GPA, or both. Students who are placed on academic probation are required to develop a plan for academic improvement in consultation with their academic adviser which may include referral
to the Academic Success Center. Academic probation status is not a part of the student¡¯s permanent academic record. More information
about assistance and the policy, go to the ISU index under Probation, Academic.
Auditing Courses
You must register for a full semester course as an audit by day 10 of the semester. Instructors must approve all audits. Audited courses
do not count toward determining full-time student status, but are considered the same as a credit course for fee assessment purposes
and maximum number of credits allowed each semester. To find out specific deadlines for partial term courses, go the ISU index under
Schedule Changes, or contact the Registrar¡¯s Scheduling & Fees Office, 10 Enrollment Services Center, 294-2331.
Fee Payment Deadlines
Fee payment deadlines for Fall 2019 are August 20, September 20, and October 20 for deferred billing. A $20 deferred billing charge is
assessed. Contact Accounts Receivables for information.
Graduation Information
If planing to graduate this fall students need to complete a graduation application. Go to the ISU website index under Graduation and
Commencement, click on students, then choose graduation application.
ISU ALERT
The ISU Alert system (see ) will quickly alert Iowa State University students, faculty and staff of potentially
dangerous situations on the Iowa State University campus. For details on how to review and update your ISU Alert information see http://
isualert.iastate.edu/update.shtml.
Registration Start Dates
Registration start dates are assigned based on projected year-in-school classification, which is computed by combining total credits
earned and current term credits. Graduate students and seniors register first, followed by juniors, sophomores, and then freshmen and
nondegree students. Courses will begin to fill on the first day of registration, so you should register as early as your start date and time
allows.
