How to Officially Add a Minor
At this time, students must email the Graduate Student Services Specialist (nlewis1@iastate.edu) and request permission to add a graduate minor. The GSSS will work with the Graduate College to have this manually added in Workday. There will be updates in the future for students to do this on their own in Workday.
