UI Coursework

If you are awarded tuition assistance for UI coursework, the amount will be credited directly to your U-bill. Please note the tuition assistance credit may not appear on your U-bill before the first tuition due date of the semester. If you have U-bill payroll deduction, you may choose to rescind it before the due date. To do so, contact the University Billing Office at 319-335-0071.

UI Health Care Tuition and Certification Assistance Program

If you are awarded tuition assistance for a non-UI course through the UI Health Care Tuition and Certification Assistance Program, please visit their website for reimbursement instructions or contact Lucas Schofield for assistance.

External (non-UI) Coursework

If you are awarded tuition assistance for external (non-UI) coursework, you will initially pay for the course. Tuition assistance will be reimbursed after you successfully complete the non-UI course and submit all required reimbursement documentation. Please ensure that all documentation is submitted by the following deadlines:

• Winter/Spring Semester Awards: Submit reimbursement by the first Wednesday in June.
• Summer Semester Awards: Submit reimbursement by the second Wednesday in September.
• Fall Semester Awards: Submit reimbursement by the second Wednesday in January.

Reimbursement will be denied if all proper documentation is not completed and received by the deadlines noted above.

Documentation Requirements

To be reimbursed for external (non-UI) coursework (after successfully completing the class), you must submit a Tuition Assistance Program Reimbursement Form (pdf) and the corresponding documentation from either A or B listed below. All documentation must be submitted by the deadlines provided above.

Reimbursement Documents A

Preferred for more immediate processing.

• Completed Tuition Assistance Program Reimbursement Form,
• An official transcript,
• A receipt of payment identifying the specific amount paid for tuition for the awarded course and confirmation that payment was made, and/or,
• An account summary providing payment details.

Reimbursement Documents B

• Completed Tuition Assistance Program Reimbursement Form,
• A grade report for the completed course,
• An official letter (printed on letterhead) from the college (e.g., sample reimbursement letter (pdf)) stating the specific awarded course, the semester enrolled, the amount paid for the course, and confirmation that payment was made, and/or,
• An account summary providing payment details.

Please provide documents from either Reimbursement Documents A or B, not a combination of the two. Failure to provide all required information will delay the payment process.

Submission of Reimbursement Documentation

Mail or campus mail reimbursement documentation to: Tuition Assistance, UI Learning & Development, 121-51 USB. Tuition reimbursement cannot be processed until Learning & Development receives this information.
