Special Notes

All Students: Due to high enrollments and limited seats in Spanish classes, it may be difficult to complete a Spanish minor at ISU in the traditional way. We recommend that you take advantage of summer classes at ISU (as seats are available) or explore other options with your advisor. You might also like to consider an ISU-sponsored study abroad, like Granada, Spain in order to earn credit toward your minor.

Major blocked classes are for majors-only in our department. Blocks may be taken off near the end of registration. There is often a waiting list to sign in the meantime.
