Financial Policies
UIW proudly follows the Higher Education Relief Opportunities for Students (HEROES) Act of 2003 when making financial aid judgments for covered individuals. Affected students should contact the Office of Financial Assistance (finaid@uiwtx.edu) to discuss options.
Tuition and Fees
If the student is readmitted to the same academic program, for the first academic year in which the student returns, the University will assess the tuition and fee charges that the student was or would have been assessed for the academic year during which the student left the University. If the student is readmitted to a different program, the University will assess no more than the tuition and fee charges that other students in that program were assessed for that academic year.
Tuition Discounts
Tuition discounts are available for part-time/full-time undergraduate or graduate students who qualify as Active Duty Military, and their dependents; Civilian Department of Defense Employees (no dependents); and Retired Military (no dependents).
Military and Civilian Department of Defense discounts apply to any student enrolled with the Main Campus. Those students eligible are active duty military with or without a Tuition Assistance Form and their dependents, civilian Department of Defense employees (no dependents), and retired military (no dependents). Extended Academic Programs applies to active duty military and their dependents. The discount will be applied to tuition only. Any other fees associated with enrollment will be the responsibility of the student. Discounts are not applicable to students for whom 100% tuition is paid by any third-party payer. Discounts may be reversed if payment is received after discount(s) are applied. The Business Office and Office of Financial Assistance determine eligibility. Refer to the University Payment Policy located under the Tuition and Financial Regulations. Discounts may vary between University programs (Main Campus, ADCaP, or UIW Online).
It is the student’s responsibility to present valid identification or current military identification along with any Tuition Assistance Forms to the Business Office within the specified dated as published by the UIW course schedule. Those courses pertaining to ADCaP, UIW Online, and mini-semesters have ten days from the first day of classes to submit a valid identification, application and/or TA form(s) to qualify for the discount.
