Enrolling in Courses
Once you have deposited for the fall and have set up your Iona online access, you may arrange an appointment with an academic advisor in the Center for Advising. Working with your advisor, you will discuss course and major requirements and recommendations, and create your own schedule step-by-step with your advisor.
You must have your schedule in place before your scheduled June Orientation program.
Creating Your First Class Schedule
You are going to select up to five courses total, though you can select as few as four, for 13 to 18 credits. Students in the Sciences, Math or Computer Science may enroll in up to 18 credits with permission from the Advising Center.
- Course 1 & 2: COL 150 (Freshman Cornerstone) and its paired subject course. Course pairs are noted below in the Selecting a COL 150 & Paired Subject section.
- Course 3, 4 & 5: Choice of courses from the University Core and other subjects related to a planned major or exploration of interests.
The first two courses you choose must be a COL 150 course (freshman cornerstone) and its paired subject. Choose the pair where course #2 works best for your schedule or major. These two courses must be in your official schedule, before selecting your remaining courses.
When selecting your COL 150 pair, you must pick the course paired with the same section number. Below, all of the pairs have been matched already and are listed together. When you are registering be sure to make sure the section numbers match up.
Example: If you are registering for 1. BIO 101, General Biology, section F10, you must also register for 2. COL 150, section F10 HY.

All students in their first term take courses that are part of the General Core curriculum and may take courses that apply to specific major paths. Some majors require students plot out their four years starting in their first term. Please review the Major Recommendations page for guidance about courses.
For majors in the Sciences, Math, and Computer Science, placement in Math and Science will be reviewed by your assigned Academic Advisor with your high school background and grades in mind. Most of these majors require College Calculus, and some require multiple levels of Calculus and upper-level math.
All Iona University students must take one semester of a language other than English (3-credit course) as part of the 9 credit-Diversity Cross-Cultural and Global Perspectives University Core requirement. (A second course in the same language, though not required of all students, counts for three more credits toward the 9 credit DCCG requirement). An online placement system has been developed by the University's Languages faculty to ensure that your language study at Iona is well suited to your background in a particular language.
Language Placement Survey
You are asked to complete a brief survey about your experience with one or more language other than English. If you wish to study Spanish or Italian, you may be required to take a placement test.
If you have no prior experience with Spanish or Italian, you do not need to take a placement survey.
If you have studied Spanish or Italian and/or if you are a heritage speaker of either language, you need to complete the placement text on the language you intend to study at Iona. The language placement test takes only 15 to 20 minutes. Please review the Major Recommendations page for guidance about courses.

AP Exam
If you have taken an AP exam in language and/or literature, please speak to your academic advisor about the possibility of receiving college credit.
