Withdrawing from Classes

A student who is withdrawing from classes at UNI should contact the Registrar's office at (319) 273-2241 to initiate the withdrawal process. See the withdrawal procedure website for additional information.

Students who withdraw are required to return unearned federal aid in equal proportions to the time not in attendance until after the 60% point in time of the term. For example, if a student completes 30% of the semester, then 30% of the federal aid received may be retained and the other 70% of the federal aid received must be returned. However, loans must be paid back according to the loan repayment requirements.

Funds will be returned to the financial aid programs in the following order: federal loan programs, federal grant programs, state programs, UNI programs, outside agencies, student.

Students are notified of adjustments to their financial aid award via their university bill.
