Guest Student Registration

Guest students can take classes at Hawkeye without enrolling in a program. Register as a guest student at Hawkeye to take classes to transfer to your school or to improve your skills. 

Step 1: Plan

  1. Visit with your advisor at your current college or university to be sure the courses you'd like to take at Hawkeye will transfer.

  2. Search for Courses and Course Sections and note the six digit course number.

  3. If a course has a prerequisite we require you to provide proof that you have met the prerequisite.

Some courses are reserved for Hawkeye students enrolled in a specific program of study.

Step 2: Apply to Hawkeye

Complete the Guest Student Application for Admission.

Step 3: Register for Classes

Once your application is processed, you’ll get an email from the Registrar’s Office. This may take up to two business days.

Email the Registrar’s Office with the section and six digit course number of each class you want to register for. Include proof of prerequisites, if required.

Step 4: Activate your My Hawkeye Account

Once registered, you'll get an email from the Registrar's Office. This may take up to two business days. This email will also have instructions on how to activate your My Hawkeye account and other important information.

Important Registration Notes

Each credit for which you register, your Student Account will be charged the current tuition and fee rate.

Guest students cannot receive financial aid through Hawkeye. Contact your college or university’s financial aid office to ask about aid for classes taken at Hawkeye.

It is very important for you to attend class beginning the first day.

Non-attendance does not withdraw you from your course(s). If you no longer wish to take the course(s) for which you have registered, you must officially withdraw from the course to avoid being charged.
