Please use the list below as a reference for rules and regulations regarding University of Iowa students outside the College of Engineering requesting permission for engineering courses. If you have questions about adding courses or the admission process, please contact the Registrar, Megan Allen.

  • Students seeking admission to the College of Engineering may begin to request special permission for Engineering Core Courses.

  • Students who do not meet the pre-requisites for the course requested will not receive special permission to register. 

  • Students who have been dismissed from the College of Engineering and are current College of Liberal Arts students will not be granted special permission to register for any engineering courses.
