Registration Registration Registration and the payment of assessed fees are required of all who attend classes. Enrollment is not complete until all fees are paid, including board and room fees for those living in residence halls. Once students are enrolled at Iowa State University, they will register each semester for the following semester as long as they continue to be students. Registration is a process by which students become officially enrolled in the university for a given term.
Registration takes place in the middle of the semester and lasts four weeks.
Registration for summer session should be completed during the previous spring at the same time as registration for fall semester. The advising period begins three days prior to registration. Students must see their adviser before they may enroll in classes. Advisers will provide materials that students must have before their registration can be processed. Dates for advising and registration are included in the University Calendar, the ISU Directory, the Schedule of Classes, and the Iowa State Daily, and are posted on departmental bulletin boards and the World Wide Web.
