The Office of the Registrar created the Teach and Learn series in an effort to collaborate, teach, and learn from various departments and colleges across campus. We hope you will find this information helpful in your daily work. 

If you are interested in sharing your own internal process, please reach out to registrar-web@uiowa.edu.

Registrar's Curriculum Management System

Hosted by the Office of the Registrar’s Curriculum Management team, this Teach and Learn provided an overview of key processes and deadlines. Staff from the following areas - Academic Organization, Programs of Study, Course Library, General Catalog, Degree Audit, and Sample Plans - introduce who they are, what they do, and how they work together to support campus.  

Textbooks and Resources

The Office of the Registrar and Course Materials Advisory Committee provided campus partners two opportunities to learn about the processes for textbook and resource ordering and reporting at the University of Iowa. Virtual attendees were provided with demos of how to order textbooks and resources, including e-resources, how to enter information into MAUI, and guidance on best practices. Representatives from Follett/Iowa Hawk Shop and University Bookstore, ICON Direct, University Libraries, and University Printing Services were present to provide information and answer questions. Content presented in each of the two meetings was similar. Since audience engagement and questions varied, both meeting recordings are provided.
