Refunds for Withdrawing from a Course

Students who withdraw from a course prior to the course start date or during the first week of the course will receive a 100% tuition refund for the course. Students who withdraw from a course during weeks two through six, will receive a pro-rata tuition reimbursement for the course. Students who withdraw from a course after week six will not receive a tuition refund for the course. The pro-rata refund percentage is calculated by dividing the number of days remaining in the course after the student’s last date of attendance by the total number of days in the course.

Iowa Tuition Refund Policy
(applies to students who reside in Iowa)

Students are charged for their program at the beginning of each quarter. If the student chooses to withdraw within the first two calendar weeks of instruction, the University shall refund all tuition charges. A refund of tuition charges shall be provided to the student within forty-five days following the date of the school’s determination that a student has terminated from the postsecondary educational program.
If an Iowa student terminates from any of the school's programs or courses after the first two calendar weeks of the semester, the student will receive a pro rata refund that is not less than ninety-five percent of the amount of tuition charged to the student multiplied by the ratio of the number of calendar days remaining in the school period to the total number of calendar days in the school period.
If at any time, a student terminates a postsecondary educational program after the first two calendar weeks of the semester, due to the student’s physical incapacity or, for a program that requires classroom instruction, due to the transfer of the student’s spouse’s employment to another city, the terminating student shall receive a refund of the tuition charges in an amount that equals the amount of tuition charged to the student multiplied by the ratio of the remaining number of calendar days in the school period to the total number of calendar days in the school period.
