Orthoptics at the University of Iowa is offered as a zero credit hour course: as such, there is no tuition fee. 

Students are required to register with the University of Iowa at the beginning of each semester and a registration fee is charged. Fees are determined by the university and tend to increase each year. This allows the student University privileges which include use of the library and other resource facilities, financial aid, health insurance and student discounts. 

Students are eligible for a small scholarship through JCAHPO to help with board examination fees. Many students also apply for federal financial aid and loans through the University of Iowa. Contact UI’s Office of Financial Aid for more information.
