After admission
It will take approximately two weeks for the university to process your application.

• Hawk ID and ISIS—Admitted students will receive a Hawk ID and password to use the university's online student services web site, ISIS (Iowa Student Information Services). If you forget your Hawk ID, contact Admissions at 800-553-4692 weekdays 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (international students call 319-335-3847). If you forget your password, request a Password Reset.
