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 Office of Enrollment Services-Financial Aid. 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.

Electronic Bills (e-bills)

The univeristy does not mail paper bills to enrolled students or their parents. Instead, electronic e-bills are available through MyUNIverse (http://myuniverse.uni.edu). Monthly e-bills are generated the 10th of every month beginning in May if the total due is $10 or more. Payments are due approximately the 5th of the following month. (If an e-bill is generated, a notice is sent ot your University e-mail account.)

Tuition, mandatory fees, room, and meal plan chargers are posted to student e-bills beginning May 10. Any changes or adjustments to these charges are generally posted thereafter on Tuesday evenings throughout the semester (and available for viewing Wednesday morning). If you are enrolled in a course that begins in May, you will be e-billed for your entire summer enrollment on May 10. This e-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 e-billed for your entire summer enrollment on June 10. This e-bill will be due in full on the July payment due date (there is no Deferred Payment Plan).

Other authorized charges are posted to student e-bills daily. In addition to your monthly e-bill, e-bill histories and e-bill activity posted since your last monthly e-bill are also viewable through MyUNIverse (http://myuniverse.uni.edu).

Failure to receive or read an e-mail reminder is not an acceptable excuse for not making your paypment when due. It is your responsibility to check your e-bill account at least monthly and make required payments by the due date.

You must pay your account in full by the end of each semester.

Financial Aid Disbursement

All financial aid grants, scholarships, and loans will be credited to your account. If your credits exceed your charges, a refund check will be mailed to you.

Refund Checks

While you are enrolled in an on-campus course, a refund check will only be written if the amount to be refunded is $50 or more. Refund checks are ordered weekly on Tuesday evenings (usually mailed by Thursday). Credit balances under $50 will be held on account to pay for additional U-Bill charges throughout the semester. Once the enrollment ends, a refund check will be written if the amount to be refunded is $10 or more. In either case, you may request a cash refund of any credit balance below the minimum in person at the Cashier's Office.

Payment Instructions

Payments may be made at the following locations:

Cashiers window at Union Station in Maucker Union

Drop box at Essentials in Maucker Union

Cashier window in Campbell Hall (enter off Campus Street)

Payments may also be mailed to:

UNI Student Accounts

1148 Campbell Hall

Cedar Falls, IA 50614-0008

Use mail code 0008 for campus mail.

Payments will continue to be forwarded from 256 Gilchrist while Gilchrist is closed.

Please write you UID number (student number) in the memo section of your check.

Payment is due upon billing and must be received by the due date to avoid Restricted Enrollment status and the accompanying $25 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 $15 for the summer semester (to avoid this fee you must pay the Total Due by the Due Date). Once assessed, the deferred payment fee is non-refundable.

Restricted Enrollment (A/R Hold)

Failure to pay at least the Minimum Due by the Due Date incurs a $25 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 who apply for 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)UNI Access Grant, 7) Iowa Grant, 8) IMAGE Grant, 9) SMART Grant, 10) ACG Grant, 11) Stafford Loan (subsidized and unsubsidized), and 12) Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students, and 13) certain education bank loans.

1.) Making Progress Toward a Degree Each Semester: *Only Fall and Spring semesters are evaluated. (Summer session 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 equivalent semesters, 18 three-quarter time semesters or 24 half-time semesters or upon completion of 160 credit hours.; Second BA/Teaching Certification/1st MA/1st Doctorate students are required to complete a degree within 6 full-time equivalent semesters, 9 three-quarter-time semesters, or 12 half-time semesters or upon completion of 60 credit hours. Allowances are made for degrees requiring more than 60 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; Only 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; 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 Academic 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 Office of Enrollment Services-Financial Aid if the graduate program requires more than 60 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 Office of Enrollment Services-Financial Aid. Appeals must be submitted no later than the end of the first week of classes following the suspended semester or within 15 calendar days of the date on the academic progress letter, whichever is later. (If suspension occurs at the end of the spring semester, students are encouraged to appeal during the summer period.) A written outline of required course work per semester until graduation signed and dated by the student and the advisor is required with the appeal.; 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 BA 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 three weeks of the semester, your grant will be adjusted. After the second 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 Office of Enrollment Services-Financial Aid, 255 Gilchrist.; Guided Independent Study, Camp Adventure, Audited Courses; Financial aid is not available for Guided Independent Study, Camp Adventure, or audited courses. If you have any questions regarding this policy, please contact the Office of Enrollment Services-Financial Aid at 319-273-2700.; Student Loans; Student must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), and complete the Master Promissory Note (MPN) to accept their Direct 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. By using the MPN, you may not need to sign and submit a separate promissory note for each new loan. Students must be degree-seeking and enrolled at least half-time (6 hours for undergraduate, 5 hours for graduate) before loan funds can be released.; All Direct Loans (subsidized, unsubsidized, Grad PLUS, and PLUS) are creditted 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. 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 fee refund policy (see Withdrawal Refunds). 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 Office of Enrollment Services-Financial Aid 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.

Withdrawing from School

The information set forth below applies to students who withdraw completely from school. Dropping one or more classes does not constitute a withdrawal unless the student drops all classes for which he or she is registered. (See withdrawal procedure.) Do not attempt to withdraw your registration by filing a change of registration form. Contact the Registrar's Office. If all classes are dropped, this is a withdrawal and the information below applies.

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. Students living in a residence hall also must cancel the housing contract through the Director of the residence hall where they live. Students with financial aid MUST contact the Office of Enrollment Services-Financial Aid.

A student who has registered but decides not to come to the University of Northern Iowa should advise the Registrar's Office as early as possible, listing the reason for withdrawing from the university.

WITHDRAWAL AFTER CLASSES BEGIN WILL RESULT IN A TUITION CHARGE.

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 a period of enrollment there is no refund of academic fees for that period. 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.

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.

Students who withdraw completely prior to the first day of instruction for a semester will not pay any tuition for that semester. If any tuition has been paid, it will be refunded in full. After the university instruction begins for a semester, tuition charges or refunds will be made in accordance with the schedule set forth below. For example, if a student withdraws during the first week of classes, 10% of the total tuition will be charged; or, if the total tuition has been paid, 90% will be refunded.

Please note that the refund schedule only pertains to a withdrawal (all courses are dropped). See the Dates to Observe and the Change of Registration and Change of Registration Fee information for questions on tuition when a portion of the classes are dropped.

The schedule for charging or refunding tuition for the Summer 2007 semester is as follows:

11^st day and beyond	0	June 18

The manner in which refunds will be determined 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 21, you would receive a 75 percent refund for your mid-June/July six-week class and no 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 Office of Enrollment Services-Financial Aid about how dropping a class and/or withdrawing totally from school will impact your financial aid award.
