Information for Returning and Non-Traditional Students

Non-traditional and returning students are important to The University of Iowa. Because such students often have complicated academic records and lives, it is difficult to provide general information that will apply to everyone. This page pulls together some of the University of Iowa services that may be of use to non-traditional and returning students. We would appreciate your comments/suggestions concerning other things we could include on this page that would be useful to you, the student.

Academic Advising Center:
First year students, as well as many transfer and continuing students, are advised at the Academic Advising Center. Returning and nontraditional students are also welcome to phone or schedule an appointment.

Office of Admissions:
If you are planning to return as an on-campus student to the University of Iowa and have been away from the University for 12 months or longer, you must reapply to the University.

The Office of Admissions also evaluates all transfer work.
