The MBA-PM maintains a password-protected, online site exclusively for enrolled students in our classes. It is housed on ICON (Iowa Courses ONline).

Examples of the information available on this site include:

• Calendar of events in the college, and across the sites
• Catalog of emails sent to all students
• University and College policies and procedures
• Detailed registration and schedule information
• Frequently asked questions
• Discussion boards that can connect students to each other across all sites. Topics include:
  • New student announcements such as marriage, new baby, promotions, job openings
  • Carpooling, tutoring and study group interest
  • Textbook exchange
  • Questions on advising and registration

Directions to access this site:

• log on at http://icon.uiowa.edu/index.shtml
• on the main page in the My Courses section, click on the "Ongoing" plus sign
• Select the “MBA for Professionals and Managers” link.
  

The MBA-PM course management system is ICON (Iowa Courses Online). All University of Iowa courses are supported by a web-based course site. You will use your HawkID and password to log in to ICON.

Step 1. Go to http://icon.uiowa.edu.

Step 2. In the "Log in to ICON" box (left hand side), enter your username (HawkID) and your password (HawkID password) and click “Login”.

Username/Password Help Section

The Username/Password used for ICON is your HawkID Username/Password (not your EMBARC Username/Password).

If you don't know your HawkID username:
• Use ISIS. Click "Accounts/Passwords" (upper right corner of the screen); click "View My Hawk ID".
OR
• Use the University of Iowa phone and e-mail directory. Type your first and last name; click "Search"; click "details"; your HawkID Username will be listed in your record.

If you are unable to log into ICON, most likely you need to reset your password. This can be done at the HawkID web site or by calling the ITS Help Desk at 319-384-4357.

New students who haven't received their HawkID should use Guest (Preview) Access to view course information until they receive their HawkID in the mail. HawkIDs will be mailed to students by the Office of Admissions within a week after either formal admission or official course registration. To use Guest (Preview) Access:

• Go to the ICON website
• In the "Log in to ICON" box in the upper-left of the page, click on "Preview Login". (No username or password is necessary.)
• In the "My ICON Courses" section, locate the correct semester listing and click on your course. (Make sure to the section number and instructor name are correct.)

Step 3. This "My ICON" welcome page lists your ICON courses and also displays news, a calendar, and other helpful links.

Step 4. To access a specific course, click on the hyperlinked course title in the "My ICON Courses" box.

Step 5. To navigate back to the "My ICON" page, click the "My Home" link on the top left of the screen.

Step 6. Be sure to logout at the end of your ICON session.

Edit Personal Information in ICON

At the "My Home" page, edit your personal information in ICON:

• Click on "My Profile" ( left side of screen ).
• Entering any information in the "My Profile" section is completely optional.
• "My Email Settings" will display your "uiowa.edu" email address. This address must not be changed. However, you can route your "uiowa.edu" address to an alternate email address through ISIS, which will point all University-wide correspondence to your preferred email address. For routing instructions, visit the Your UI Email Account web page. ( Note, the MBA-PM will continue to correspond with you at the email address(es) you have listed in EMBARC because ISIS and EMBARC do not interact. )
