Tuition and fees
Estimating student tuition and fee costs
IU Indianapolis' tuition and fee estimator helps you estimate a student’s tuition and fee costs based on factors such as residency, academic program, and number of credit hours. You can also view a chart of tuition and fee costs for the current academic year or search the master fee list to find all the fees that apply to a student.
Using the employee tuition benefit
Indiana University offers a tuition benefit to eligible employees, former employees with IU retiree status, and former employees receiving long-term disability benefits.

Bursar transactions and the monthly accounting feed
Transactions from SIS bursar accounts are transferred to departmental income and expenses accounts once a month during the accounting feed. Specific accounting feed dates can be found on the University Budget Office website.
In the Indiana University Information Environment (IUIE), the accounting feed detail report provides detailed information about accounting transactions by institution, account number, and object code. The report is updated two days after the accounting feed. If you do not have access to the report, you can submit a request to view it.
For detailed information about the distribution of tuition and related fees, contact your responsibility center (RC) fiscal officer or the IU Indianapolis Budget Office.
From a business process perspective, departmental fee remissions are the same as an external sponsor arrangement. To initiate a fee remission to pay tuition and other fees for a student, you must submit a financial voucher indicating what portion of the student’s tuition and fees should be charged to the fee remission account. To request a fee remission "account" complete the form below.
The IU Indianapolis Office of the Bursar will do the following:
| Step | Description |
| Review Request | The form will be reviewed for completeness, accuracy, and appropriate use of funds. The Fiscal Officer will be notified. |
| Existing contract number | A search will be conducted for an existing contract number that pulls from the specified GL/sub account number. If one exists, it will be provided to the requestor. If the department doesn't have staff with access to the SIS SF IU Department TPC Request page, the IU Indianapolis Office of the Bursar will add the student(s) to the contract.* |
| No existing contract number | A search will be conducted for an existing contract number that pulls from the specified GL/sub account number. If one does not exist, the following steps will be taken. A request will be sent to the University Bursar for a new item type. The IUPUI Office of the Bursar will create a new third party contract (TPC) based on the new item type that pulls from the specified GL/sub account number. This new contract number will be provided to the department. |
*SIS SF IU Department TPC Request Page access
If there isn't a department staff person with SIS SF IU Department TPC Request page access, the IU Indianapolis Office of the Bursar will provide training before authorizing access to the page. Once the training and addition of access is completed, all additions (linking) of students to the fee remission contract will be completed by the requesting department.
