Tuition Refund for Credit Classes

Tuition refund only applies if you complete the withdrawal process to reduce your credit hours or completely withdraw from Hawkeye. Not attending class is not considered a form of withdrawal and you will still be responsible for paying the tuition and fees for those courses. You may appeal a refund decision by submitting a written request to the Financial Policy Waiver Committee.

You will receive a full refund of tuition and fees if you complete the withdrawal process before the first day of the semester.
