Graduate College Orientation

Welcome to ISU!

If you are a new graduate student at Iowa State University, we welcome you to our university and to the Graduate College.  Most of your day-to-day experience will take place in one of over 100 graduate departments or programs. Your graduate program probably has contacted you about its requirements and what you might need to do to start your graduate career.  If you have general questions, it is always a good idea to start with the administrative staff or a faculty member in your program. They will be able to counsel you about academic requirements, financial support, registration issues, and when you need to actually be on campus.

 

Parks LibraryThis orientation Web site has been developed to provide supplemental information that may be useful to you as you start your career here.  Notice the navigation bars on the left side; we have tried to identify areas that may be of interest to you and cover some of the questions and concerns you may have as a newly enrolled graduate student.

 

Because this is a new Web site, we invite your comments about its usefulness and also encourage your input so that future students will benefit from your advice.  If you still have questions about graduate issues, feel free to contact our main office at 515-294-4531, or email your questions to grad_college@iastate.edu, and we’ll try to find an answer for you or find someone who can assist you.

 

We wish you much success in your graduate experience.
