Credit or Debit Card

Pay your bill with a credit or debit card

You have the option to pay your bill online using a credit or debit card, but please note that a nonrefundable service fee will apply each time.

It's important to understand that the service fee for online credit or debit card payments is collected by the online payment service, not by IU.

  • Fee is not reflected on your student account.
  • IU cannot waive this fee and you are responsible for covering the entire service fee.
  • You can avoid the service fee by paying online with electronic check

Here's what you need to know if you prefer to pay with a credit or debit card:

  • You'll incur a Service Fee for processing your payment.
  • The Service Fee is calculated at 2.85% of the total payment amount.
  • The 2.85% Service Fee will be listed separately on your statement.
  • IU does not assess the Service Fee.
  • The Service Fee is non-refundable, even in cases of payment cancellation, refund, credit, or chargeback.
