Registration Information
The tools mentioned below may be used by you to plan for registration. Your enrollment appointment date and time may also be found in Student Center. Enrollment may occur on or after the enrollment appointment, and is a separate process from the planning activities. Use of the Planner and Shopping Cart does not guarantee enrollment in class sections or add the courses to the student's enrollment; this takes place only during the Enroll process.
- Schedule of Classes
(Online - Click on the "Student Center" tab)
The Schedule of Classes allows you to search for course sections offered for a specific "term" (formerly known as a "semester"). There are many new options (e.g., by day, by time, by instructor, by type of course, etc.) for searching for course sections in the new student information system, so be sure to test it out! - Planner
(Quick Reference Guide)|(Tutorial)
This feature allows you to select courses from the University Catalog and plan which semester(s) you would like to enroll in them. As such, this is intended to serve solely as a "planning" feature for you during your time at UNI. (Note. While the University Catalog displays what term a course is typically offered (e.g., Fall or Spring), the specific course you have "planned" to take, may not actually be offered. As such, please refer to the Schedule of Classes for the official listing of courses offered in a given term). - Shopping Cart
(Quick Reference Guide)|(Tutorial)
This feature allows you to select course sections from the Schedule of Classes for a given semester (e.g., Spring 2012), to plan which sections you will attempt to enroll in once the Enroll (please see below) function becomes available. Please note, when you add courses to your shopping cart, it does not guarantee that you will be able to enroll in them until you actually take the Enroll step. (Helpful Hint. Think of the shopping cart like online shopping - you don't actually own anything in your shopping cart online until you take the step to buy (or, "Enroll" in the case of registration) your items). - Enroll
(Quick Reference Guide)|(Tutorial)
This function becomes available during - and after - your enrollment appointment, and it allows you to actually enroll (i.e., register) in course sections for a given term. - Wait List
(Quick Reference Guide)
This feature allows you to add yourself to a class that is in wait list status.

Search for Closed/Available Classes
When you utilize the Schedule of Classes (Online Public Search), you have the ability to filter your search by checking the "Show Open Classes Only" flag. Additionally, when browsing the course selection, it displays whether the course is in Open (Noted by a Green Circle), Closed (Noted by a Blue Square), or Wait List (Noted by a Yellow Triangle) mode.
Textbooks
Textbook information is viewable within the Schedule of Classes (Online Public Search). To view this information, click on the appropriate section, and then scroll down to the Textbook/Other Materials information. This information will also be available on the University Book & Supply website as soon as it becomes available. Please contact either the departmental office or contact UBS directly (319-266-7581 or BookStore@panthersupply.com) with any textbook-related questions.
Holds and Approvals
Holds
Prior to registering, students are strongly encouraged to log into their MyUNIverse account to view possible registration holds. Students with registration holds will not be allowed to register. Therefore, students with a registration hold must contact the appropriate office to resolve the outstanding issue(s), so that the hold can be lifted.
Approvals
Students who would like to register for a closed class, or students who would like to register for a class in which they do not meet the prerequisite(s) for, will need to get written approval on an Add/Drop slip from the department offering the course. After getting written approval, students must bring the Add/Drop slip to the Office of the Register for final processing. Upon receipt, they will process the request and add the course to the student's schedule. For your convenience, an alphabetical listing of all departments is available by clicking here.
