Bursar (Student Account Services)
The Office of the Bursar collects payments for student fees, orders refund checks, and applies financial aid credits. The Office of the Bursar also accepts authorizations for sponsor billings from qualifying governmental and corporate agencies.
FEES
Tuition at IU Columbus is set annually by the Trustees of Indiana University. Current fee information and the rules that determine whether students are residents or nonresidents for fee-paying purposes are available online.
In addition to tuition, all graduates and undergraduates are assessed fees. Fees are additional charges to cover the costs of certain services such as technology or labs. New students will be charged a New Student Enrollment Fee. The semester parking fee is optional, and books and supplies are additional. Various payment options are described in the Registration Guide. See the bursar page for more information, including current fees.
Students with anticipated aid listed on their Student Center record via One.IU will only need to pay the tuition and fees in excess of the amount of anticipated aid listed. If the anticipated aid has not been credited by the second statement due date of the semester, it is the student’s responsibility to resolve his or her issue with the financial aid office or personally pay the balance. Students are not removed from classes for failing to pay their bills.
If a bill remains unpaid and the student does not withdraw during the refund period, they are still responsible for the unpaid tuition and fees regardless of attendance or grade received. If the student withdraws, the bill will be adjusted only if the withdrawal occurs during a refund period. It is therefore critical that students monitor their accounts via One.IU to determine whether they received financial aid.
