Financial aid eligibility is based on a student’s enrollment status after a semester’s applicable add/drop deadline (this is the deadline for students to drop from a course without a W grade). You can view the University’s Add and Drop Deadlines here. If a student adjusts their enrollment after the add/drop deadline (for example, during the “drop-with-W period”), it usually does not result in a financial aid or billing adjustment.
However, when a student is dropped from all of a semester’s courses or is not attending any class during a period of scheduled enrollment*, it may be considered a Complete Withdrawal. In those cases, tuition charges and financial aid eligibility may be reduced (prorated), depending on the effective date of the Complete Withdrawal. ÁùºÏ±¦¿â’s Tuition Refund Policy is outlined here. The rules for prorating financial aid eligibility vary based on the source of the financial aid, as outlined below:
Funds from ÁùºÏ±¦¿â or Iowa College Aid or Health Professions Loans
Funds from Federal Student Aid and Army Tuition Assistance
Procedures for officially withdrawing from ÁùºÏ±¦¿â can be found here.
*Scheduled enrollment means the period of time on which any offered financial aid was based.
