Important change in MyUI:
Due to the recent name change from the Department of Management Sciences to the Department of Business Analytics, all MSCI business core and major-level courses will be reclassified as BAIS courses beginning fall 2020. For the purpose of fall registration, students will need to use “BAIS” in the Course Subject field in MyUI in order to select courses from that department.
For example, MSCI:2800 Foundations of Business Analytics will be named BAIS:2800 Foundations of Business Analytics.
Summer courses are unchanged, so they will use the MSCI course subject.
Early registration for summer will run from March 9-13.
Early registration for fall will run from April 13 – 24.
The business core is introducing a new format to BAIS:3000 Operations Management and BAIS:3005 Information Systems that becomes effective Fall 2020. The courses will change from 3 s.h. to 2 s.h., and each be offered off-cycle for 8 weeks each.
We know that changes in the curriculum bring up many questions. To help address those, please use our Frequently Asked Questions resource. Included are answers to questions like:
If you have already completed the courses or are currently enrolled in one/both, you have met the requirement for the course. We advise that you continue your enrollment to follow your academic plan and do not make changes to your registration based on this curriculum update. Changing your registration can significantly affect your course sequencing and has the potential to impact your graduation timeline. We advise to continue your enrollment. If you have concerns about this, please contact your academic advisor before making a change.
As you meet with your advisor about registration, ask about the International Business Certificate (IBC). Combine your curiosity about world cultures with coursework in international business. The IBC adds an international dimension to your degree with globally focused coursework, plus study abroad and language study options. It is a great way to use your non-business elective hours and select globally focused general education/business courses for your major.
The certificate includes 4 areas of study:
Declare the IBC
You can declare the IBC by logging into MyUI and navigating to Student Information > Advising > Programs of Study and Advisors.

Please see a few important reminders about the Novel Coronavirus below. It is important to remember that it is less of a threat to the University of Iowa than the flu.

Share your ideas and start a business in a weekend with your classmates at Iowa Startup Games! This is a three-day event where students, from all areas of study, share their ideas to have an impact. After students share their ideas, they will form teams and work together to bring the best ideas to fruition. By the third day, each team will pitch to a group of panelists for a chance to win cash prizes. Students will learn problem-solving skills, have the opportunity to meet with community members, network with peers, and begin to think like a creative entrepreneur. There is also the opportunity to earn one credit hour – at no cost for students registered full time!
Don’t have your own idea? No problem! Apply to help someone else with theirs.

Today (Monday, February 3) is the last day to drop a semester-length course without that course appearing on your transcript.
After today, the course will appear on your transcript with a mark of “W” rather than a grade. This does not affect your GPA.
Courses must be dropped in MyUI by 11:59pm tonight, but if you do require permissions for the drop, you must initiative the drop as early as possible today so that the offices have time to give the permissions. Advisors do not receive notification when you initiate a drop, so please email your advisor if you have initiated a drop and require their approval.
The full policy for adding and dropping is found here.
Courses shorter than a full semester have different drop/add deadlines. You can search for the deadlines of your course here.
IdeaStorms are entry-level pitch competitions across the University of Iowa’s campus that encourage students to share their innovative ideas with others, all while familiarizing themselves with the pitching process. They encourage students to come and share their new, never heard before ideas without the requirements of a business plan or proposal and provide a collaborative environment where students can get feedback and resources on how to make their ideas into a reality. Does your idea uniquely solve a problem? At IdeaStorm, all UI students are invited to share their business idea in two minutes or less with a panel of judges and an audience. The top ideas at each competition will be awarded cash prizes to help take their idea to the next level.

It definitely doesn’t feel like “Spring 2020” to me this morning! Even so, I welcome the technical label because it signals a fresh start and an opportunity for us to come together (again) and learn!
This past weekend we honored the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King’s legacy. The University held service events yesterday, and there are a number of other events going on this week, including a lecture by Anita Hill on ending sexual harassment.
Most of us in the US grew up listening to Dr. King’s famous “I have a dream<" speech. Even so, it feels new and powerful every time I hear it. More recently, in my teaching, I've been referencing his "Letter from a Birmingham Jail." You can read the typed original here (and listen to the audio with the prior link), both from archives at Stanford University.
We are living in times with a lot of disagreement and fear, as well as excitement and joy. These emotions are not unique in our country’s history by any means, but it can be scary. A key theme of King’s is worth remembering as you settle into this semester’s classes amid the roar of political drama — impeachment, caucuses, and US-Iran tensions.
King preached love. In fact, he was quoted as saying, “Love is the only way.” So as you settle in and get to work, when you hit a moment of frustration, I urge you to slow down and connect to those around you. Find ways to help others, and let them help you. There is a great deal of love in this community and I hope you will find ways to be part of it. If you want any guidance on how and where to connect, let me or your advisor know. We love being part of this community, and helping others.
And my final words of advice as we kick off the semester — stay warm, stay hydrated, and get to class! Go Hawks!
