University of Iowa students outside the College of Engineering may request permission to add a College of Engineering course after the early registration is over prior to the beginning of a new session. 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 Engineering Registrar at engr-esst@uiowa.edu.

• Students seeking admission to the College of Engineering may begin to request special permission for Engineering Core Courses. Completion of the form does not guarantee permission to register for the course. Students should discuss with their academic advisor other course options that will allow them to achieve their academic goals.
• Students will be notified the FRIDAY prior to the start of the semester if they have received permission for the course. Once they are contacted via email, they will either be able to add themselves to a class or place themselves on a waitlist for the course, depending on seat availability.
• Students who do not meet the prerequisites 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.
• Students who have already received special permission for the courses listed and have not yet been admitted to the College of Engineering should speak with the Engineering Registrar at engr-esst@uiowa.edu.
