Pick Up Classes After the Start of the Term

At Kirkwood, we understand one start date doesn't fit everyone's schedule. That's why we offer classes that start after the beginning of each semester. Round out your semester schedule, make up for lost time, or get ahead on the next semester. Courses are available on Kirkwood's main campus, Iowa City campus, and online.
