How to register for classes

Matthew Rezab

Everything you need to to register for spring semester classes.

To register for classes, students need the following materials and information:

  • Registration worksheet, available for download at www.registrar.iastate.edu/forms/.
  • A registration access number, commonly known as a RAN, if it’s required by the college.
  • Course information from the Online Schedule of Classes at http://classes.iastate.edu/.
  • Other departmental information applicable to their curriculum, available from their adviser.

Students are expected to do the following in the advising and registration process:

1. Meet with their adviser who will provide the following:

a. degree audit

b. guidance in course selection

c. registration authorization form, with RAN, if applicable.

2. Choose specific sections of each course. Students are responsible for choosing their course sections. In most cases advisers will not be involved in selecting meeting times.

3. Review their registration start date and time information. Students in those colleges which require a four-digit RAN should meet with their adviser in advance of their start date, to obtain their Registration Authorization Card which has the RAN.

4. Register for courses using the AccessPlus registration system.
