College Transition Course
The College Transition Course—with special sections for first-year, transfer, and international students—acquaints students with the information and skills they need to succeed in college, covering areas like study skills and money management, and an introduction to helpful University of Iowa resources, such as the Pomerantz Career Center.

The course is set up in small sections with a premium on classroom discussion. Most sections meet twice per week during the first 12 weeks of the semester. Assignments emphasize self-reflection and improvement, but also seek to acquaint students with the information and skills they need to thrive at The University of Iowa.

There is a version of the course specifically for transfer students, and several sections of the class for first-year students are reserved for international students.
