Congratulations on your admission to the summer program! We're excited to work with you. A quick explanation of how our workshops work:

We are a graduate program at the University of Iowa, so all our classes are for credit. To enroll in a summer workshop, you will need to be admitted by the Graduate College (this is mostly pro-forma). Once you are admitted, you'll get a student ID, an advisor, and will register for the class. You will not earn a degree, but you will earn course credit to transfer if you ever decide to, say, get an MFA. Once you enroll, you'll be charged tuition ($2,001) as if you were a regular student.

Here are the steps:

• Go to the Nondegree Graduate Student Admissions page and start the online application. If you're an international student, this will start the I-20 process.

   You'll create an account, then select the following:

^{What type of credit are you seeking? Graduate or Professional Credit}

^{To which Graduate or Professional College...? Graduate College}

^{For which session..." Summer 2026}

^{Purpose of attending: Other}

^{Explain: Writers' Workshop}

^{I plan to take courses: On-Campus} 

• Request official transcripts from previous institutions (again, because we are a graduate program)
• Wait to hear from your advisor
• Register for classes!
• Book travel and secure a place to stay (we'll send info about sublets and local B&Bs)
