Annual Costs
Upper Iowa University wants every student to graduate with as little debt as possible. Be sure to complete your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) every year after January 1 to determine your eligibility for financial aid. Many students are surprised to find out they are eligible, so be sure to complete the FAFSA and have the results sent to UIU. Our code is 001893. On average, Upper Iowa students graduate with far less debt than students from any other Iowa college or university. Be sure to use the Net Price Calculator to estimate your annual costs at UIU. Tuition, room and board, and other fees are set by the UIU Board of Trustees each year. Here are the current costs.
