General Information
Tuition and fees are determined by the Indiana University Board of Trustees. Fees are subject to change by action of the trustees. For up-to-date information about fees in effect at the time you plan to register, refer to the fee information listed.
Resident Student Status for Fee Purposes
When students are admitted to IU South Bend, they are classified by the Office of Admissions either as resident or nonresident students. This classification is determined by rules established for IU South Bend students. Copies of these rules are available in the Office of the Registrar. If students are classified as nonresident, they must pay nonresident fees as listed in the schedule of fees.
If the permanent residence changes or if students believe they are classified incorrectly, they may appeal for resident student status. Applications are available in the Office of the Registrar. Students are required to furnish clear and convincing evidence to support their claim.
Course Cancellations
Whenever enrollment in a course is deemed insufficient, the university reserves the right to cancel the course.
Students must officially withdraw from these courses to receive a refund of all fees.
Refund of Student Fees
When a student withdraws from a course or courses, a refund of fees paid is made for each course involved, according to the refund policy stated on the Office of the Bursar website. Full refund of fees is given only during the first week of each term for standard classes.
Payment
IU South Bend now offers a four- month payment plan for advance registered students that includes a nominal monthly deferment charge. Please note: depending on when you register, you may be eligible only for a three- month or a two- month plan.
Personal Deferment on a Four-Month Plan.
The four-month plan divides the amount due into four payments. There is a nominal deferment charge assessed each month for this plan.
To Qualify
Students must be enrolled in at least 3 credit hours
The Process
If you are eligible, the personal deferment amount will be printed on your e-bill. Approximately 25 percent of the total bill will be due before the semester begins. The remaining payments will be due approximately one month apart. See the Bursar Services website (bursar.iusb.edu) for the payment due dates for current or upcoming semester.
