6 Financial Information

The IU Bursar (studentcentral.indiana.edu) bills for all university charges— tuition, housing, bus passes, basketball tickets, etc. Bills are sent to you directly via e-mail. Education Abroad will pay for up to 18 hours as well as all mandatory fees, and the International Services student fee.

If you live in university housing, you are responsible for paying the IU Bursar for your room and board. You will be responsible for any dorm activity fees. IU Housing (housing.indiana.edu) splits the housing bill in half, due the beginning of each semester. Your meal plan will be billed the same way.

The methods of payment accepted by the bursar are: check, money order, Flywire, Global Pay for Students, and credit/debit card. Students who choose to use the credit/ debit card option can only do so through the IU Bursar Pay online system. Credit/debit card payments cannot be made in person at the bursar’s office. Students using the credit/debit card payment option will be assessed a non-refundable service charge per transaction.

Students can also make electronic payments online from a U.S. checking or savings account. Directions for making this type of payment are available at: studentcentral.indiana.edu/pay-for-college/pay-bill/index.html.

You will need to pay your housing and meal plan charges by September 10. The easiest way to do this is by wire transfer from your local bank. We are able to request an exception of this due date if you are expecting financial aid from your home institution and will not have access to it until after your arrival. You will need to let our office know about this to avoid late fees.

The bursar invoices students each month for outstanding charges, and bills are always due on the 10th of the month.

For assistance with tax filing, go to the Office of International Services (ois.iu.edu/living-in-the-us/taxes/index.html).
