This information is also sent in a letter to your residing address.

PSEO checklist

• Activate your @uiowa.edu email in MyUI. Email is the official communication for all university business. If you have questions about your UIowa email, contact Information Technology Services (ITS).
• University student records are protected under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). If you wish for UI staff to be able to discuss your academic record (enrollment, grades, etc.) with your parent/guardian, you can create a Student Record Consent Form in MyUI. You may also provide viewing rights for certain information to a guest account in MyUI.
• Review the Academic Policies Handbook and the Code of Student Life to learn more about your rights and responsibilities as a registered student.
• Review deadlines for your course(s) and the withdrawal schedule on the Academic Calendar or Course Deadlines lookup tool.

Billing information

A PSEO student’s school district pays tuition for courses that have been approved by the school district and are successfully completed. If a student drops*, withdraws** from, or fails a course, the student is responsible for reimbursing the school district.

*Drop:  A student cancels registration in a single course while remaining registered in one or more courses. The student is responsible for reimbursing the school district $250 for course drops initiated after Sep. 1, 2023.

**Withdraw:  A student cancels registration entirely for the semester. If you drop the only course you are enrolled in, you are withdrawing from the university.

Tuition for PSEO courses is $250 per course, charged to the school district. If you withdraw during any of these times, you will be responsible for reimbursing your school district. This means PSEO students will be responsible for reimbursing the school district $250 per course if withdrawing after Sep. 17, 2023.

Additional information

• Registration in courses not approved by the student’s school district under PSEO will be billed at the full rate of tuition and fees.
• Auditing courses is specifically not allowed under PSEO. If a student changes their registration to audit status, the course will no longer be eligible for the PSEO program and full tuition and fees will be billed to the student for that course.
• Grade reports and transcripts will be sent to your high school at the end of the university’s semester.

If you decide not to attend, please contact your University of Iowa advisor and drop your course(s) in MyUI to cancel your registration prior to the first day of classes.

Sincerely,
