Tuition and Fees
Using the Tuition and Fees Tables
Timely payment of tuition and fees is expected for all students enrolled at the University of Iowa, and understanding how these costs are calculated can be overwhelming. Let's take a look at our Tuition Tables and see how they work.
Tuition
Once you are officially registered, you can view your Tuition and Fee Assessment in ISIS.
To do this, go to: Student Records > Finances & Billing "Tuition and Fees"
If you enroll in only distance education courses (**see list of exceptions below), you will be assessed tuition and the mandatory computer fee based on your program of study and semester hours of enrollment.
If you enroll in distance education courses AND one or more on-campus courses, you will be assessed tuition and ALL mandatory fees (not just the computer fee) based on your program of study and total semester hours of enrollment.
**Exceptions: This method of assessing tuition and fees does not apply to: Public Health off-campus; MBA for Professionals & Managers; workshop enrollments (section WK* identifiers); Lakeside Lab enrollments; or CIMBA. Click here to view fee rates on page 2 for those programs.

Click Spring 2013 to go to the table now. With the document open, scroll to the "Off-Campus Program Rates." Select the Table number which matches your program. For example, if you are interested in or currently enrolled in the BAS program, you would select Table 28 to view your tuition and fee responsibility.
Fees
There are some course enrollment costs that are not considered tuition.
- In the event your course(s) require course-specific materials or resources, fees will be assessed, in addition to tuition, to cover these costs.
- The cost of textbooks is in addition to course tuition and fees. Some required course materials are available only through our office and are provided upon enrollment.
- A late registration fee is assessed if you enroll in your first course for the session after that course has begun. Late registration fees are assessed on the following schedule:
- $30 for day 1 to day 5
- $60 for day 6 to day 10
- $100 after day 10
View tuition responsibility when you drop or withdraw from a course.
