Other ways to pay

credit cardPaying by Credit Card

We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express and JCB. You may pay in person at the Office of the Bursar (Hawthorn Hall, Room 102) as long as the authorized signature is on the back of credit card or pay online. 

High school students and non-enrolled students should make payments through IUPay Plus.

Paying by Check or Money Order

Send checks and money orders along with the bottom portion of your account statement to:

Payment Processing Center
IU Northwest Lockbox
PO Box 7238
Indianapolis, IN 46206-7238

Make them payable to Indiana University, and write your 10-digit Student ID number on your check or money order.

Please be advised that starter checks and counter checks are not accepted as a form of payment.

Financial Aid Payments

Your financial aid (excluding work-study earnings) will be disbursed through the Office of the Bursar in accordance with federal regulations. Aid can be disbursed to students by the Office of the Bursar no sooner than 10 calendar days prior to the first day of class. All current costs such as tuition and fees will be paid first. You will be refunded any financial aid money that remains after your bill is paid. If you do not receive your expected aid, you are still responsible for the outstanding fees due.

If you are eligible for financial aid but do not plan to complete the semester, you must withdraw from your semester classes. Otherwise, your fees will be paid by your financial aid, your enrollment will be validated, and you will receive failing grades in all registered classes. Financial aid recipients who reduce their enrollment may be required to repay their financial aid. Contact a financial aid counselor before adjusting your class schedule.

Payment Plans

Payment plan (personal deferment) guidelines include:

  • Current balance of at least $450
  • Initial payment received by the payment due dates (see the "Cost and Deadlines" tab)
  • Minimum payment paid by each due date listed on your bills

Payment plans are available only to students who maintain a favorable credit history. If eligible, the minimum amount calculation will appear on the account statement.

Students who do not qualify for a payment plan (personal deferment) are those who:

  • have a balance of less than $450.00
  • have not honored the terms of a previous contract
  • have an unfavorable university financial record, including but not limited to a history of bad checks or returned items on campus, a poor loan status with any department, or any prior obligation remaining unpaid

Payments can be made by credit card (Visa, MasterCard, and Novus/Discover), check, or money order, our preferred forms of payment.  You may pay by using the Indiana University's online payment services or in person at the Office of the Bursar (Hawthorn Hall 102).

The payments will be due as billed for each plan. You may either pay an additional installment or pay your balance in full at each installment due date, with the final payment being due in full.  (The value of installments will be calculated and appear on the billing for eligible students.) A payment received that is less than or greater than the required minimum payment will be treated as a personal deferment payment and the personal deferment plan will be invoked. The service charge will be applied to your account. The only way to reduce your total obligation is to officially withdraw from classes during the appropriate refund period.

If you make a schedule adjustments prior to the due date, the minimum amount must be recalculated by a Bursar Account Representative if you wish to participate in this plan. Any refunds resulting from dropped classes during the refund period will be credited to your outstanding personal deferment balance. Class withdrawal processed after the refund period will not result in a refund or reduction of your personal deferment balance. This means that the balance of your personal deferment will still be due and payment expected by the due date.

Failure to make payment in full by the final due date will result in the denial of university services and may result in the assessment of late payment fees.

All fees and dates are subject to change without notice.

Miscellaneous Info

Payment Deadlines

The payment deadline for your semester tuition is included on the bill. When registering, it is your responsibility to print your bill. Either full payment, a deferment, or the minimum payment plan (personal deferment) must reach the Office of the Bursar by the payment due date. Remember that your semester registration is not considered official until all fees are paid.

You will be financially responsible for the classes in which you registered unless you withdraw during the 100% refund period.

Sponsored Students

If all or part of your tuition and fees will be paid by a third-party sponsor, the Bursar must receive notification from the company or agency paying the bill on or before the payment deadline. Charges not covered by the sponsor must also be paid by the due date. The notification letter or voucher must include:

  • Name of the sponsoring agent
  • Name and student identification number of the student being sponsored
  • Dollar amount and types of fees that will be paid by the sponsoring agent
  • Address where the invoice should be sent
  • Contract dates or duration

Fee payments not paid by the sponsoring agent within 30 days of the billing date become the student's responsibility.

IU Tuition Benefit

Full-time appointed IU employees, their spouses, and their dependent children are entitled to a tuition benefit provided the employee is working full time within the first week of the semester. More information is available at the Human Resources web page.

Withdrawal

Contact the Office of the Registrar if you need withdrawal instructions. Failure to pay your fees or issuing a stop payment through your bank does not constitute an official withdrawal. To receive a full refund, you must officially withdraw before or during the 100% refund period.

If you do not officially withdraw during the 100% refund period, you will be responsible for all fees.

If you are eligible for financial aid but do not plan to complete the semester, you must withdraw from your semester classes. Otherwise, your fees will be paid by your financial aid, your enrollment will be validated, and you will receive failing grades in all registered classes. Financial aid recipients who reduce their enrollment may be required to repay their financial aid. Contact a financial aid counselor before adjusting your class schedule.
