Fees
Students enrolling in more than three on-campus credit hours are assessed the mandatory health fee each semester on the Bursar’s bill. IU Education Abroad pays this fee on your behalf. The health fee provides reduced charges for routine medical clinic visits, up to two visits to Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), and general educational programming provided by Health and Wellness Education. You are responsible for paying for services not covered by this health fee.
