Extension of Credit/Educational Loan

Registration for classes creates a legally binding financial obligation to pay tuition and fees per official University policy, as summarized in this publication.

You are expected to have made the necessary financial arrangements prior to enrolling for classes. Any financial assistance from the University should be arranged prior to the start of classes through the Financial Aid Office. You are responsible for making all payments due while a Financial Aid application is in process.

Your registration for classes constitutes your understanding and acceptance of this responsibility. The University considers this extension of credit to be an "educational loan" under Federal and State laws. This credit is automatically extended.

Billing/Statement of Account (U-Bills)

Tuition, fees, room, board, University Apartment rent, and other authorized departmental charges will be billed on a monthly statement. Students who have an account balance will be mailed a bill based on activity entered through the tenth of the month.

If you are enrolled in a course that begins in May, you will be billed for your entire summer enrollment on May 10. This bill will be due on the June Payment Due Date (or June and July - see Deferred Payment Plan). If you are enrolled in a course that begins after May, you will be billed for your entire summer enrollment on June 10. This bill will be due in full on the July Payment Due Date (there is no Deferred Payment Plan).

Bills are mailed to the local address on file with the Registrar's Office while school is in session. When school is not in session, bills are mailed to the home address. You are responsible for maintaining your mailing addresses with the Registrar's Office.

Failure to receive a bill is not an acceptable excuse for not making your payment when due. If you do not receive a bill as expected you should contact the Accounts Receivable Office to determine the reason.

Financial Aid Disbursement/Refund Checks

Grants, scholarships, and loans are credited to your account. If your credits exceed your charges, refund checks are mailed on a weekly basis. The first refunds for the summer semester will be mailed beginning May 8th to your local address.

Payment Instructions

Please bring your payment to the cashier window or drop box in Gilchrist, or mail your payment to the Accounts Receivable Office in 256 Gilchrist.

Payment is due upon billing and must be received by the Due Date to avoid Restricted Enrollment status and the accompanying $20 fee.

Deferred Payment Plan

The University offers a summer Deferred Payment Plan for tuition, room, and board (meal plan) charges only if these items are included on the May 10 billing. The summer Deferred Payment Plan allows you to make these payments in two installments, on the June and July Payment Due Dates. The amount to pay will be indicated as the Minimum Due on your bill. Any charges billed after May 10 are due in full on the next Payment Due Date.

The administrative fee for using this plan is $7.50 for the summer semester (to avoid this fee you must pay the Total Due each month by the Due Date). Once assessed, the Deferred Payment Fee is non-refundable.

Restricted Enrollment (A/R Hold)

Failure to pay the Total Due by the Due Date incurs a $20 non-refundable administrative fee and places you on Restricted Enrollment.

The University strictly enforces a policy of not releasing registration while delinquent on your University account. You will not be allowed to register, obtain transcripts, cash checks, or receive any additional credit or Short Term Loans until your account is brought current.

Restricted Enrollment (A/R) holds are automatically removed when you bring your account current.

Standards of Satisfactory Progress For Financial Aid Eligibility

Standards of Satisfactory Progress is a two part federal regulation to ensure that students receiving aid are:

Making satisfactory progress toward a degree each semester and
Completing a degree within a specific time period regardless if financial aid was received in the past.

The aid programs that are affected are: 1) Pell Grant, 2) Perkins Loan, 3) Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, 4) Federal, State, and UNI Work-Study, 5) UNI Grant, 6) Iowa Grant, 7) Stafford Loan (subsidized and unsubsidized), and 8) Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students.

1.) Making Progress Toward a Degree Each Semester: *Only Fall and Spring semesters are evaluated. (Summer session is not evaluated.) The first semester a student attends UNI is viewed as an adjustment period and is not evaluated.; Undergraduates/Graduate/Doctorate; Students who enroll full-time (12 credit hours or more per semester) are required to complete a minimum of 9 credit hours per semester.; Students who enroll in 6-11 credit hours per semester are required to complete a minimum of 6 credit hours per semester.; Students who enroll in 1-5 credit hours per semester are required to complete ALL the hours enrolled that semester.
2.) Completing a Degree Within a Specific Time Frame for Financial Aid Eligibility: *Total academic record (summer included) is reviewed regardless if aid was received or credit was earned at UNI.; First BA students are required to complete a degree within 12 full-time semesters, 18 three-quarter time semesters, or 24 half-time semesters or upon completing 186 credit hours.; Second BA/Teaching Certification/1st MA/1st Doctorate students are required to complete a degree within 6 semesters or upon completing 45 credit hours. Please inform the Financial Aid Office if your program requires more than 45 credit hours.; Other degrees, such as 2nd BA, 2nd MA, 2nd Doctorate after beginning a 1st MA, must be funded by the student without financial aid. (Exceptions may be allowed through the Appeal Process as indicated below.)
3.) Other Guidelines: Grades; Grades of A, B, C, D, Cr, X, or P are counted as meeting the required hours. Failed classes, audited classes, incomplete grades, and withdrawn classes are not counted toward completed hours for Satisfactory Progress.; Financial Aid Academic Progress Warning; With the exception of the first semester at UNI as stated above, the first semester in which a student does not complete Satisfactory Academic Progress the student will receive a warning notification but will continue to be eligible for financial aid. Also, a student who is nearing the allotted time frame to complete a degree will be notified and informed of the number of financial aid semesters remaining.; Not Eligible Status for Financial Aid; Once a student has received a warning, any subsequent Fall or Spring semester in which the student does not maintain Satisfactory Progress will result in the student being notified about the loss of financial aid eligibility. A student who has reached the allotted time frame to complete a degree will also lose financial aid eligibility. Please contact the Financial Aid Office if the graduate program requires more than 45 credit hours.; Appeal Process and Deadline; An appeal process is in place for those experiencing extenuating circumstances that affected their ability to make satisfactory academic progress. Appeal forms may be obtained from the financial aid office. Appeals must be submitted within 30 days of the date on the academic progress letter or 30 days into the start of the suspended semester, whatever is later. A written outline of required course work per semester until graduation signed and dated by the student and the advisor is required.; Reinstatement of Financial Aid; Students approved to receive aid again will be expected to adhere to the Satisfactory Progress Policy outlined above and any conditions listed on the Appeal Approval Contract.; Financial Aid Adjustment; If financial aid has already been awarded and an appeal is not completed or approved, the financial aid funds will be canceled 30 days after the start of the suspended semester. Reinstatement of the financial aid is contingent upon the availability of the funds at the time the appeal is approved.; Grant Adjustment; Grants are need-based aid. The Pell Grant program is for students working on their first B.A. degree. Due to federal regulation and University policy, the actual amount of Grant that you receive is based on the number of credit/hours for which you are enrolled.; This means that if a Grant has already been disbursed to you and you add or drop classes during the first 3 weeks of the semester, your Grant will be adjusted. After the third week of classes, Grants do not adjust. If you have any questions about how your Grant may be affected by adding or dropping a class, please contact the Financial Aid Office, 116 Gilchrist.; Correspondence, Camp Adventure, Audited Courses; Financial aid is not available for correspondence study, Camp Adventure, or audited courses. If you have any questions regarding this policy, please contact the Financial Aid Office at 319-273-2700.; Student Loans; Students must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), then return a signed Financial Aid Award Letter and Promissory Note to the Financial Aid Office. You will sign only one promissory note that will be used for all of your loans at UNI. By using the MPN, you may not need to sign and submit a separate promissory note for each new loan. A student who borrows under the Direct Loan Program at UNI will be able to borrow under this one MPN up to ten years. If you borrowed a Direct Loan at UNI in the 2001-2002 academic year, you do not need to complete another promissory note. However, you must return your award letter indicating if you wish to accept all or decrease the loan offered amount. Students must also be degree-seeking and enrolled at least half-time (6 hours for undergraduate, 5 hours for graduate for Fall and/or Spring terms; requires 5 hours for undergraduate and 4 hours for graduate Summer term) before loan funds can be released. All loan proceeds are credited directly to your university bill.; How Dropping Credit Hours or Withdrawing From UNI Affects Financial Aid; If you drop credit hours or withdraw from UNI, your cost of attendance and financial aid may be revised to reflect any tuition adjustment. You may have to repay a portion or all of your financial aid as required by law or by applicable fund donor. The exact amount of repayment will vary depending on when the credits are dropped or when the withdrawal occurs. In addition, you may become ineligible for future financial aid due to failure to meet the Financial Aid Academic Progress Requirements.; Federal regulations require students who withdraw before over 60% of the semester has passed to return unearned federal aid in a proportion equal to the time not in attendance. 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 federal aid received must be returned. If a student withdraws after the 60% point in time of the semester, then all aid received may be retained. Loans must be paid back according to the loan agreement. Institutional and state aid are returned in percentages equal to the institutions tuition and refund policy. For example if a student receives 25% tuition refund, then an equal percentage of 25% will be returned to all state and institutional aid programs. Contact the Financial Aid office for more information.; 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. You will be notified of adjustments to your financial aid award via your university bill.

Information on Withdrawals

The following information applies to students who withdraw completely from school during the summer session. Dropping one or more classes does not constitute a withdrawal unless the student drops all classes for which he or she is registered. The student should not attempt to withdraw from all of his or her courses by filing a change of registration form or by using the computer on-line drop/add transaction, but should contact the Registrar's Office to initiate the withdrawal process. (If all courses are to be dropped by the student, this is a withdrawal and should not be considered a "change of registration.")

Withdrawal Procedure

A student who has started attending classes who finds it necessary to withdraw from school initiates the withdrawal through the Office of the Registrar. The student living in a residence hall also must cancel the housing contract, signed by the student at the time of enrollment, by contacting the director of the residence hall in which s(he) lives.

A student who has enrolled but decides not to come to the University of Northern Iowa should advise the Registrar's Office, in writing, at the earliest possible date (and before classes begin) to cancel the registration, giving the reason(s) for withdrawing from the University.

Withdrawal after classes have begun will result in a tuition charge. Failure to notify the Office of the Registrar of a withdrawal will result in the student's receiving a bill for tuition and fees. If you receive financial aid from the University, all or part of this aid may have to be repaid.

Withdrawal Refunds
If credit is earned during the period of enrollment, there is no refund or reduction of academic fees. For any one-, two- or three-week session there is no refund. Room and Board refunds are made according to the agreement set out in the "Contract for Room and Board" signed by the student at the time of enrollment.

A student who has registered is considered enrolled. Tuition is refundable on the basis of the percentage table given below. The effective date of the withdrawal is the date the official withdrawal form is completed in the Office of the Registrar.

The manner in which the refund schedules will be applied is as follows:

Find the date of your withdrawal on the various session refund schedules.
If you are enrolled in multiple sessions, your refund will follow the schedule for each session in which you are enrolled.
For example: If you are enrolled in one eight-week class and one mid-June/July six-week class and you withdraw from school on June 25, you would receive a 90% refund for your mid-June/July six-week class and a 25% refund for your eight-week class.
As another example: If you are enrolled in a May four week class and a mid-June/July six-week class and you withdraw on June 15, you would receive no refund for your May four-week class and a full refund for your mid-June/July six-week class.
As a general rule, if you withdraw from a session in which you are registered once classes have begun for that session, you will be assessed some percentage of the total tuition for that session. If you withdraw from a session in which you are registered prior to classes beginning for that session, you will be accorded a full refund of tuition for that session.
Workshop fee is not refundable after class has begun.
Students receiving financial aid should visit with a counselor in the Financial Aid Office about how dropping a class and/or withdrawing totally from school will impact your financial aid award.
