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. Please click here for 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.
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.
OneStart Registration Steps
How to Register
One Start is an online version of IU’s registration system and can be used anywhere you can access the Web. Detailed instructions for using One Start are available online, or you can call for help at (765) 455-9391.
A few notes about online registration:
- OneStart is generally available Monday–Saturday, 7:00 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. and Sunday, 8 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.
- You can register from the date and time of your registration appointment through the first week of classes.
- During the first week of classes, registration and schedule adjustments can be made online via Student Center.
- Online registration/schedule adjustment ends 5:00 pm at the conclusion of the first week of classes.
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.
Drop/Add and Late Registration
You can make schedule adjustments using OneStart during the drop and add period without assessment of additional fees. See the academic calendar for drop and add and late registration dates.Students may add a class after the first week of classes by completing a Schedule Adjustment form signed by the instructor. The completed form must be processed by the Office of the Registrar. After the first week of classes, students may drop using eDrop which is available in OneStart. It can be found by clicking on Drop/Add classes in the Registration & Classes channel under Self-Service. After the Automatic W period, the instructor’s signature is required on a completed Schedule Adjustment form for drops. Students should review the refund calendar posted on the Office of the Bursar's website. Students receiving financial aid should contact the Office of Financial Aid before making a schedule adjustment to determine how the change will affect eligibility and payment.
All forms are available in our office which is located in the Kelley Student Center, room 208.
Withdrawing from All Courses
Once classes have begun, you may process your withdraw by using eDrop until the end of the Automatic W period. Failure to pay your fees or issuing a stop payment through your bank does not constitute an official withdrawal. Students should review the refund calendar posted on the Office of the Bursar's website. You must officially withdraw by the withdrawal deadline (see the academic calendar for the withdrawal deadlines for each semester or summer session). If you do not officially withdraw, you will be responsible for all fees and will receive failing grades in all registered classes.
If you are eligible for financial aid but do not plan to complete the semester, you must withdraw from your semester classes by the withdrawal deadline. Students receiving financial aid should contact the Office of Financial Aid before making a complete withdrawal to determine how the change will affect eligibility and payment.
Past-Due Financial Accounts (Holds)
A hold on your account can result from unpaid fees, library fines, parking tickets, and other causes that can prevent you from registering for classes. Please review your holds in OneStart.
