Tuition Appeals

Refund of Tuition After the Deadline
Requests for a partial or full refund of tuition after the published deadline should be directed to the Appeals Committee. Your request will be considered only if you can show that extraordinary circumstances (e.g., illness, personal upheaval, death in the family) affected your ability to follow the procedures for your course. You must document these circumstances through an independent source.

Your request must include your full name, University or Hawk ID, at least two ways you can be contacted (phone number, e-mail, mailing address), course number and title, requested outcome of the appeal, justification (explain why you did not make your request by the published deadline) and documentation information. Submit your request in writing to our office.

          Mail: Appeals Committee, Center for Credit Programs,
          The University of Iowa,
          250 Continuing Education Facility,
          Iowa City, IA 52242-0907

Email: Type “Tuition Appeal” in the subject line

and send it to credit-programs@uiowa.edu

Fax: 319-335-2740

The Appeals Committee meets approximately twice a month, and will inform you of the outcome once all of your documentation has been received and a decision is made.

Change of Student Records After the Deadline If you wish to request a change retroactively (e.g., dropping a course; withdrawing; changing from undergraduate to graduate status, from credit to audit, from letter grade to Pass/Nonpass) after the published deadline, please contact the Center for Credit Programs and our Student Services staff will direct you to the appropriate office.

Reconsideration of Grade A student who has a complaint about an individual assignment or course grade should follow the procedures for Student Complaints in the Student Handbook.
