    Payment of Tuition and Fees

    Terms of Payment

    In accordance with University policy, all semester charges, including tuition, room and board, and additional and special fees, are due and payable prior to the first day of classes. Students will be billed in advance each semester. Default of payment results in the student's enrollment being delayed or denied; satisfactory arrangements must be made before reinstatement. 

    Financial aid is applied to the student's account each semester upon verification of attendance. 

    Diplomas, certificates, transcripts, credentials or letters of recommendation will not be released until all financial obligations are met.

    Withdrawal Policy

    It is the responsibility of the student who is no longer attending classes to withdraw from the University.  A student who withdraws from classes in Term 1 of a semester will also be withdrawn from Term 2 with a grade of NA.  Any subsequent enrollment requires the student to be readmitted to the University by the Admissions Office.

    To "officially" withdraw, the student should contact the Student Services Office to complete the Withdrawal Form.

    Refund Policy

    If a student officially withdraws from Upper Iowa University prior to completing 60 percent of the semester, institutional charges for tuition, room, and board will be refunded on the percentage of the semester that has not been completed. Financial aid awarded will be returned to the federal, state, and institutional programs based on the same percentage. For example, if a student officially withdraws after completing 20 percent of the semester, the student would only be charged for 20 percent of the applicable tuition, room and board and would retain 20 percent of their financial aid.

    After the 60 percent point in the semester, no refund will be granted nor will financial aid be adjusted. The portion of the semester completed is based on calendar days from the first day of the semester through the last scheduled day of finals, including weekends and mid-semester breaks of less than five days. The semester is defined as: Fall Semester begins with the start date of Fall Term 1 and ends with finals of Fall Term 2, Spring Semester begins with the start date of Spring Term 1 and ends with finals of Spring Term 2.

    Students who do not go through the “official” withdrawal process will be deemed to have attended through the mid-point in the semester, and will have their charges and financial aid adjusted to 50%.

    Students on work programs will be given full credit for work completed to the date of withdrawal.

    Examples of refund calculations are available in the Financial Aid Office. Students may appeal the refund calculation if they feel that they have extreme circumstances that warrant an exception to the published policy. Students should make their request in writing, documenting the extreme circumstances, and submit it to the Controller for Business Services. A response to the appeal will be made within two weeks.
