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.

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.

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 the:

• 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 Human Resources.

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 and will receive failing grades in all registered classes.

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.
