Main Websites and Resources
General information about the University can be found on the UI Main Website, as well as important links to various services.
HawkIDs
- You’ll need a Hawk ID to access UIowa Library Services, the Outlook email client, and more. If you have already applied for a graduate program, then you should have been prompted to request an account. If not, follow the steps described here. (**Note that your HawkID should be the first letter of your first name and your last name (e.g. jdoe@uiowa.edu). This is different from your email, which should be first-last@uiowa.edu).
- Once you have a Hawk ID, you can access your email account, managed by Microsoft Outlook 365. See the ITS guide for specifics, and see also instructions on how to link your account to a mobile device.
Using your HawkID:
- You can find information on how to get a Student ID Card here.
- Your account will also grant you access to the Microsoft Office ProPlus Suite free of charge! This includes Word, Excel, Power Point, One Note, and Outlook. See instructions on downloading and authenticating Microsoft Office here.
MyUI, ICON, MAUI, and Human Resources
- Your student profile can be found at the MyUI portal. Use this site to register for classes, update personal information, pay your tuition and fees, register for parking, check your grades, and much more.
- Course Companion Websites for students and instructors are managed through ICON (Iowa Courses Online).
- If you are a Teaching Assistant or Instructor, you will manage midterm and final grades on MAUI. First, you will need to apply for access with the Office of the Registrar (HawkID login needed).
- You can manage your employment information at the Human Resources Web Portal here.
