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 his or her 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. 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 wil be deemed to have attended through the mid-point in the semester, unless the last date of attendance can be verified. Charges and financial aid will be adjusted accordingly. Examples are available at the Financial Aid Office. The University refund policy can be found in the Upper Iowa University Bulletin.
