About ICON Course Sites
ICON course sites are available for Registrar-affiliated and non-Registrar-affiliated courses or for instructor testing and development purposes.
Note Registrar-affiliated courses are those that are tracked by the Office of the Registrar (i.e., “normal” courses with UI course numbers). Students register for these courses in MyUI and their enrollment is automatically updated within the course site.
About Registrar-affiliated Course Creation
An ICON course site is created automatically for each Registrar-affiliated course that exists in MAUI/MyUI and is approved in MAUI. Once added in MAUI, instructors and TAs are added to courses in ICON for the current semester and the next two semesters providing they have completed FERPA training.
Independent Study courses are created in ICON once a student registers for the course in MyUI.
A process runs each night that moves course and enrollment data from MAUI to ICON. Changes made in MAUI will be passed to ICON the next night, and then the courses will appear in ICON the next day.
How Instructors are Added to Registrar-affiliated Courses in ICON
Instructors are automatically enrolled in ICON courses if they have completed FERPA training at least once. See the Office of the Executive Vice President & Provost’s policy on FERPA training at http://provost.uiowa.edu/files/provost.uiowa.edu/files/ferpa.pdf or the Office of the Registrar’s FERPA/Privacy Information page at http://registrar.uiowa.edu/ferpaprivacy-information for more information
