Course Description Request
Course description requests are also processed by the Office of the Registrar for courses taken on the Bloomington campus or on any regional campus if prior to the fall semester of 1968. Any work completed on a regional campus during or after that semester must be processed by the specific campus's Office of the Registrar. Occasionally, the description on file with the Registrar is not adequate or cannot be found. In these cases, the requester is either advised to contact the responsible school or department or contact information is provided in the course description letter.
Requests for course descriptions can be made by mail (see below for link to form) or by email at regsched@iu.edu. Processing course descriptions is performed on first-come-first-served basis. Every attempt is made to process and mail the request within two weeks.
Use the Course Description Request Form to make a request
Your request must include the following
