Register for Classes

Students register using OneStart®, IU's online class registration system.

Before You Register

  • If you have not previously attended IU Kokomo or any other IU campus, you must be admitted to the university before you can register for classes. Please contact the Office of Admissions  for application materials and more information.
  • If you have been away for two or more semesters you will have to be reactivated. Need more information?
  • Review the academic calendars to determine the appropriate time periods for advance, open, and late registration.
  • Meet with your academic advisor to discuss your schedule and degree requirements. Your advisor can help you obtain any needed class permissions for courses requiring instructor or department consent, or major or school authorizations.
  • For advance registration, use OneStart® to check the date and time of your registration appointment. This is not an appointment with your advisor, but the first time you may access the registration system for the upcoming semester. Verify your registration time by logging onto OneStart®, click on the Service tab, Self-service and Registration Appointment. If you register during the Open Registration period, no appointment is necessary.
  • You may be able to audit your courses. Get more information on that here.

Information You Need to Have with You for the OneStart Registration Session

  • To use the OneStart system for registration, you must have an active IU network ID and password. To obtain your network ID and password, go to https://itaccounts.iu.edu/, or contact the IU Kokomo Helpdesk at (765) 455-9315.

You also need to know the subject, catalog codes, and numbers for the courses in which you wish to enroll. Review the Schedule of Classes to find the codes and numbers you will need to enter into OneStart®.

Waitlisting Classes

If you register for a class that is closed but waitlist eligible, you have the option to get on a waiting list in case seats open up in the class. To add yourself to the waitlist, check the Waitlist OK box. Enter the Class Number in the Drop If Enrolled field if you want to drop a different class if your waitlist request is satisfied. Make sure that the class meeting times you are trying to waitlist do not conflict with the classes for which you are already registered; otherwise, you will be passed over when seats open up.

It is your responsibility to monitor the status of your waitlist requests and pay any resulting fees by their due dates. The Office of the Registrar will notify you via your IU Kokomo e-mail account if one of your waitlist requests is satisfied.

NOTE: You can print your class schedule by clicking on Class Schedule under Registration Services in OneStart®. You will not be sent a paper copy of your class schedule.
