Here is a summary of the most common course deadlines. There are even more deadlines listed on the Office of the Registrar’s website: https://registrar.uiowa.edu/academic-calendar
Adding and Dropping the First Week of Classes
You may add and drop semester-length courses the first week of the semester via MyUI without any permissions from advisers or instructors. International students may need permission from ISSS. This option ends at 11:59 p.m. on Monday, January 23rd. Waitlists will also remain active during this time.
If the course is off-cycle, you may need to initiate an add request in the first week.
