IU E-Mail is an Official Means of Communications

The University reserves the right to send official communications to students by email with the full expectation that students will receive and read these messages in a timely fashion. Official university email accounts are available for all registered students. Official university communications will be sent to students' official university email addresses. For the official email addresses for all Indiana University campuses, see the Knowledge Base document Email at each IU campus.

Students are expected to check their email on a frequent and consistent basis in order to stay current with university-related communications. In addition to their university email account, students should also check for course-related email within Oncourse. The IU Network ID provides access to Oncourse and the university email systems. For more information about Oncourse mail, see the Knowledge Base document in Oncourse, what is Course Mail?

Students who choose to have their email forwarded from their official university email address to a private address (e.g.,AOL., Hotmail, or a departmental server) do so at their own risk. The University is not responsible for any difficulties that may occur in the transmission of or access to email forwarded to any other address. Any such problems will not absolve students of their responsibility to know and comply with the content of official communications sent to their official IU email addresses. However, students will not be held responsible for an interruption of service to their official email addresses due to system-related problems (e.g. power outages, email viruses). For instructions to set up, change, or cancel email forwarding, see the Knowledge Base document at IU, How do I forward my email?

Fee Assessment

Fees for Fall 2008 will be assessed on July 14, 2008. Until that time, you will not see fall charges noted on your bursar account.

Students who register after Friday, August 29, 2008 will be assessed a late registration fee (one time only) and a late schedule change fee (per class).

Electronic Billing

Indiana University generates electronic bills for bursar account activity. Students receive an email notification to their IUSB email address when the monthly bill is available on the web. In addition any authorized payer, once access has been created by the student, has the option of receiving these billing notifications.

Electronic billing does not involve a change in your payment options. You are not required to pay your bill on-line. By using the "Printable Statement (PDF)" you may print a bill to mail with your check to the payment processing address noted on the statement. You may also choose to pay electronically via QuikPAY ™.

Fee Payment Information

IU South Bend advanced to all-electronic billing beginning Fall 2006.  This means you no longer receive a paper bill in the mail.  You will need to view/print your bill online through QuikPAY™. You will receive an email to notify you of a new bill when it is available online.

University policy requires timely payment for all charges owed to Indiana University, including but not necessarily limited to tuition, fees, library fines, and parking fines. Failure to make payments on time may subject  you to late payment charges. Any payment due to the University that is not received by the due date is subject to a late payment fee. Timely payment of your account with approved financial aid, personal check (unless restricted), credit card or cash will ensure that you avoid the late fee assessment and keep your account in good standing.

Credit card or debit card payments are no longer accepted by phone or in the Cashiers' Office. These can be processed only online through QuikPAY ™ .

Payments may be made via the web through QuikPAY™(QP) at http://onestart.iu.edu for students and http://www.quikpayasp.com/iu/ tuition/authorized.do or authorized payers. Statements may also be printed from this location and used for mailing with your payment by check. Refer to "Paying on Your Account" on the Office of the Bursar website (http://www.iusb.edu/bursarsb) for details.

A late payment fee will be assessed to the accounts of all students whose payments are not received in the Office of the Bursar by the due date.  All past due accounts will be encumbered by the Office of the Bursar. This means that you will be denied academic transcripts, enrollment verification, diplomas, and clearance to register.

If you have not received an email notification of the bill by your bill availability date,  please use QuikPAY™ (QP) (under the Bursar channel, Self-Service tab in OneStart, http://onestart.iu.edu) to determine your balance due. Failure to receive the email notification of a bill will not be accepted as a reason for missing any payment deadline.

Failure to pay does not withdraw you from all classes. Should you decide not to attend the South Bend campus this term, you must officially withdraw from all your classes via OneStart prior to August 29, 2008.  There is no automatic cancellation of your registration for nonpayment. If you do not officially withdraw, you risk receiving grades of F in your courses. If you do not take action you will remain registered in your classes and you will be responsible for all course fees, plus any applicable late fees, through the time you complete a total withdrawal. You will owe all or a portion of the fees if your withdrawal is processed after the 100% refund period.

Please note that the bursar payments made late in the term will be time-stamped with the following term's information, even though they will be paying the current term's charges.

You will receive an email notification to your IU email address that will indicate a bill has been generated for you. This statement will include Fall 2008 course fees, financial aid processed for the fall term, and any other debts owed to Indiana University South Bend.

Payment is due in the Office of the Bursar by 4:00 PM of the due date noted on your e-bill.

Account Encumbrance  

 The Office of the Bursar is responsible for the collection of University financial obligations.   An account that is past due is encumbered by the Office of the Bursar. The Student Loan Administration may also encumber the accounts of students or former students who have not satisfied their obligations to that department.   A student whose account is encumbered will be denied certain University services (e.g. registration, transcripts, enrollment verification, diploma, financial aid). Payment agreements with the Office of the Bursar will not clear a student to register.

Payment Plans

For our standard deferment payment plans, click on "Payment Plan Options" link on the bursar homepage. There is no enrollment process for this. Just pay the "Minimum Due" amount indicated on your QuikPAY™ e-bill. A nominal deferment charge will be added to your next bill.

If the standard deferment plan will not work for you, you will need to set up a written payment agreement at the bursar's office. Be sure to visit us before your billing due date. A nominal deferment charge will be added to your next bill.

All term charges need to be paid before you will be able to register for a future semester. A payment plan will not clear you to register. All accounts that still retain a balance will be assessed a late fee at end of the term.
