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

• Hawk ID and ISIS—Admitted students will receive a Hawk ID and password to use the web-based self-service center called ISIS (Iowa Student Information Services). If you forget your Hawk ID or password, call the Office of Admissions at 800-553-IOWA between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
