2004 Summer Payment Information/Due Dates

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 to all students.

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. For further information, please refer to the Controller's Office web site.

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. If you prefer that your bill be sent home to your parent, stop in to the Accounts Receivable Office to complete a written form. You are responsible for maintaining your mailing address 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 must contact the Accounts Receivable Office to determine the reason.

Financial Aid Disbursement/Refund Checks

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.

Payment Instructions

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

Payment is due upon billing and must be received by the Due Date to avoid Restricted Enrollment Status and the accompanying $20.00 fee. If your University account is not paid in full by the first Due Date, you will automatically be enrolled in the Deferred Payment Plan.

Deferred Payment Plan

The University offers a Deferred Payment Plan for tuition, room, and board charges. The Deferred Payment Plan allows you to make these payments in three installments.

The administrative fee for using this plan is $25.00 per 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.

The amount to pay will be indicated as the Minimum Due on your e-bill. Failure to make timely payments may result in revocation of the privilege to pay in installments.

Restricted Enrollment (A/R Hold)

Failure to pay at least the Minimum Due by the Due Date incurs a $25.00 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. Habitual or large delinquencies may result in cancellation of your registration and an order to vacate University housing.

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

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. 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 and finds it necessary to withdraw from school initiates the withdrawal through the Office of the Registrar. Students living in a residence hall must also cancel their housing contract through the Director of the residence hall where they live. Students with financial aid MUST contact the Financial Aid Office. (Also refer to "How Dropping Credit Hours or Withdrawing From UNI Affects 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 reasons for withdrawing from the University.

Withdrawal After Classes Begin Will Result in a Tuition Charge.

If you received 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:
