Credit Card and eCheck Payments

You are encouraged to use the QuikPAY^TM SYSTEM located on OneStart to charge your fees to your credit card or bank account. We accept VISA, MasterCard, and DISCOVER.

QuikPAY^TM offers secure payment options and flexibility.

With QuikPAY^TM, you can:

• Make payments to your bursar account from your personal checking account, savings account, or Credit Card.
• Create Authorized Payers who can then use a unique user code/password combination that you assign. Once authenticated, Authorized Payers can make payments directly to your Bursar account. This could be used for spouses, parents, or even employers and allows each to setup their own confidential checking account information. (Checking account information for each Authorized Payer is viewable only by that individual).
• Receive e-mail notifications when new bills have been sent to your QuikPAY^TM account, or a payment has been made by an Authorized Payer.
• View history of all payments made - by whom, how much, and when.
• View history of billing statements as your billing history file develops over time.

Note: The bursar staff does not have access to your confidential banking information.

• $15 fee for the first deferment payment; $15 for the second deferment payment and $10 for the third deferment payment.
• The deferment balance is calculated after all financial aid, scholarship, and sponsor authorizations have been applied.

Failure to make payment in full by the personal deferment due date will result in a  1 1/2% late fee being assessed and denial of University services.

Sponsor Authorizations

If all or part of your fees are to be paid by a sponsoring agency or company, the proper authorization must be submitted to the Office of the Bursar by fee payment deadline along with payment of the balance not covered. It is your responsibility to contact the Office of the Bursar by the fee payment deadline to insure proper credit has been posted to your account.

Authorization must be on the official Sponsor Authorization form (PDF) or letterhead of the company or agency, and should state exactly what type of fees and in what amounts the company or agency intends to pay. The Office of the Bursar will defer the amount of fees authorized, and will bill the sponsoring company or agency in the student's behalf. Any authorizations not paid within 30 days of the billing date become the responsibility of the sponsored student.

Sponsor Authorizations must include the following information:

• Student's name
• Identification number
• State the amount and type of fees the sponsor intends to pay, i.e. course fees, lab fees or other mandatory fees associated with the course such as the technology and activity fee.
• The effective period for the authorization and be on official letterhead or billing form of the sponsor. A fax may also be used for submitting an authorization by dialing (812) 941-2639.

Authorizations maintained in the Office of the Bursar will be applied to the student account. Payment of fees cannot be conditional upon: grades, completion of courses, or employment status. The billing authorization must include a complete mailing address and a telephone number of a contact person.

Sponsoring agencies are not routinely billed for library charges, returned checks, parking permits or tickets, ID cards, recreation fees, locker fees, late charges, etc. Students are responsible for these fees. When the sponsored student chooses not to attend IUS, enrollment must be terminated through the IUS Office of the Registrar. Fee payments not paid by the sponsor per the terms stated on our sponsor billing may become the student's responsibility. If the student has applied for financial aid, it is the student's responsibility to notify the Office of Student Financial Assistance of any sponsorship for which they may be eligible. Failure to remit payment in a timely manner could result in the Bursar Office not accepting future authorizations from a sponsor.

Failure to submit the authorization and/or pay any balance due by the fee payment deadline will result in the assessment of a 1 1/2% late fee . If your fees have been totally deferred due to sponsorship, and you do not plan to attend you must notify the Office of the Bursar before the first day of classes.

Fee Reimbursing Employer Deferment

You qualify for a Fee Reimbursing Employer Deferment if all or a part of your fees are to be reimbursed by a sponsoring agency or company, and reimbursement will not be made until the end of the semester when grades are turned in. It is your responsibility to contact the Office of the Bursar to insure proper credit has been posted to your account and to submit the following items by the fee payment deadline:

1. Proof from your employer of their tuition reimbursement policy 
2. Signed Fee Reimbursing Employer Deferment Agreement
3. Payment of the mandatory deferment fee ($67.00)
4. Payment of the balance of your bill not covered by your employer

NOTE: This deferment is NOT required. If you pay in full or by personal deferment by the original fee payment due date, you will NOT be charged the $67  deferment fee.

If you opt for this deferment, the Office of the Bursar will defer the amount of fees authorized until 2 weeks from the date grades are posted on OneStart. This amount due is the responsibility of the student, regardless if the company has paid the student.

NOTE: If payment is not made by the deferred due date, your account will be flagged and a 1 1/2% late fee will be assessed. The flag will prevent you from registering for future semesters, but will be removed once payment is received.

IMPORTANT: A missed deferred payment will cause your account to be put on probation. More than 1 missed payment will cause you to be permanently ineligible for this deferment option. NO EXECEPTIONS.

Proof of your employer's tuition reimbursement policy must be on the letterhead of the company or agency, and should state exactly what type of fees and in what amounts the company or agency intends to pay.  It must include the following information:

• Student's name
• Identification number
• The amount and type of fees the sponsor intends to pay, i.e. course fees, lab fees or other mandatory fees associated with the course such as the technology and activity fee.

All students on the Fee Reimbursing Employer Deferment must sign a Sponsor Deferment Agreement in order to have their fees deferred. By signing the form, the student is agreeing to pay all fees by the new due date, regardless if the company has paid the student. The student is also agreeing to pay the deferment fee and any fees not covered by the sponsor/company. When the sponsored student chooses not to attend IUS, enrollment must be terminated through the IUS Office of the Registrar. Failure to remit payment in a timely manner could result in the Bursar's Office not accepting future authorizations from a sponsor/company.

Failure to submit the authorization, deferment agreement, and/or pay any balance due by the fee payment deadline may result in the assessment of a 1 1/2% late fee. If your fees have been totally deferred due to sponsorship, and you do not plan to attend you must notify the Office of the Bursar before the first day of classes.

Employee Fee Courtesy

Fee Courtesy Plan Coverages

Employee & Spouse Fee Courtesy  For employees, retirees, spouses and registered domestic partners the fee courtesy value is 100% of covered tuition up to a dollar limit based on the Indiana resident per credit hour rates at each campus, and, in the case of employees, on class standing (undergraduate, graduate, or professional*). Covered tuition does include audit hours and independent study. Independent study will be administered as a reimbursement after the course has been completed.

Dependent Child Fee Courtesy  Dependent Child Fee Courtesy is a subsidy of 50% of the Indiana resident undergraduate rate, for a maximum of the first 140 credit hours (which includes any transfer hours) toward the first bachelor's degree as long as they meet the dependent child requirements as listed in the policy.  Fee courtesy will apply to independent study; however will be administered as a reimbursement after the course has been completed.

• Fee Courtesy is not a cash award; rather, it is an employee benefit that pays a portion of the credit-hour fees, and in some cases, audit fees.
• Fee Courtesy does not apply to special fees, such as those for laboratories, applied music, student teaching, education early experience, dissertation research fee (G901), or rental of special equipment and facilities. Fee Courtesy for the dependent child does not apply to audit hours.
• At the time of registration, the exact value of Fee Courtesy is determined by the Office of Human Resources, eligibility is verified, and the Fee Courtesy award is credited to the student's account.
• Fee Courtesy awards are reduced or canceled if the student's or employee's eligibility ceases.
• Any changes in the student's enrollment may also result in changes to the amount of Fee Courtesy. Then the Office of the Bursar will bill the student for applicable fees.
• Fee Courtesy for graduate level courses is treated as taxable income under 1996 Federal legislation. In accordance with IRS regulations, these taxes will be withheld from the employee's pay. The employee's pay notice will include reference to the amount of Fee Courtesy benefits included as taxable income.
