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.

Registration Start Dates for Fall 2020

Refer to page 1 for registration start dates.

Room Assignments

Room assignments will be show on their AccessPlus class schedule on Friday, July 24. To find a map of class room locations go to the ISU

index under Classroom abbreviations.

and information go to the ISU index under Schedule Changes.
