Billing and Payment Plans

Billing

Bills are created monthly, usually around the third Thursday of the month, and are due on the 10th of the following month. Bills for the fall, spring, and summer will be due in September, January, and May.

Bills are sent by e-mail to the student’s IU email address and can be viewed and paid online at One.IU Links to an external site..

Remember that The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 prevents IU from releasing certain information about you to anyone else, even your parent or spouse, without your authorization. If you want someone else to be able to access billing information, you can authorize access to your information by those individuals.  Review the information about granting third-party access in the Technology module. Someone authorized to see billing information will also get an email when your bill is sent to you.

Make sure to pay by the due date to avoid late charges or account holds that could prevent you from registering for future classes. Student bills can be paid safely and securely online with no additional fees via e-Check. Bills can also be paid online by debit or credit card, but you will be charged a convenience fee.

Payment Plans

If you can’t pay all at once, you can use payment plans to budget your payments into smaller installments throughout the term.

IU partners with Nelnet Campus Commerce to let you pay your balance over time with a payment plan. This option allows you to pay off your account in up to four payments over the term, as long as you sign up before or during the month the first bill is due. If you enroll later, fewer payments will be in your plan for the term, because there is only one payment each month. If you are eligible for a payment plan, the option will be available when you log into view/pay your Bursar bill.

• Accounts will be subject to late fees if you are not enrolled in a payment plan prior to the due date on the 10th of each month.
• A student or third-party user can enroll in a payment plan each term.
• The account balance must be greater than $500 to be eligible.
• When you enroll, you’ll pay the first of the four installments plus a $50 enrollment fee. 
• Accepted payment methods are bank accounts or credit or debit cards.
• Scheduled payments will be automatically deducted using your payment method on the 5th of each month of the payment plan.
• You will keep your student account in good standing while in an active payment plan—this means no holds or late fees.
