Payment Options

Options for paying your bill

Make your payment at least five business days prior to the due date to help ensure your bill is paid on time. You can submit payment via US mail, electronic transfer, in person, and more.

Ways to make your payment

Pay online with IU Bursar Pay

You can pay your bill online via credit or debit card, or via electronic check (e-check). (You’ll be charged a convenience fee of 2.85 percent–subject to change–if you use your credit or debit card, but not if you pay by e-check.)

If you’d like to let a parent or other person have access to pay your bursar bill, you’ll need to grant them third-party access. Remember that you are ultimately responsible for the timely payment of your bill.

Payments are processed through a secure payment system. IU Kokomo staff does not have access to your confidential banking information.

• Log in to pay as a third party

Payment plans

If you cannot pay all at once, you can use college tuition payment plans to budget your payments into smaller installments. This option allows you to pay off your account in up to four payments per term, depending on when you enroll. You can enroll as a student or a third-party user (such as a parent) each term. What you need to know before you enroll:

• Your account balance must be greater than $500 to be eligible
• When you enroll, you’ll make a down payment and pay an enrollment fee of $60
• Accepted payment methods are bank accounts or credit or debit cards
• Scheduled payments will automatically be deducted using your payment method on the fifth of each month of the payment plan
• You will keep your student account in good standing while on an active payment plan-this means no holds and no late fees
• Accounts will be subject to late fees if not enrolled in a payment plan prior to the regular due date (the 10th of each month)

You can enroll with NelNet Campus Commerce to create a payment plan or view the plan you’ve already created.

Pay with electronic transfer (international payments)

If you’re an international student, you can pay in your own currency by using one of our international payment providers. The exchange rate is competitive and there is no transaction fee for IU Kokomo students (though your bank may charge a fee). Both services are more convenient and cost less than wires directly from your bank to IU.

Choose your preferred payment processor when you pay your bill. Make sure you follow all of their directions. We’ll post the U.S. dollar equivalent to your student account, usually within five business days after your local bank transfers the money. Make sure you start the process with plenty of time before your bill is due.

Have a sponsor pay your bill

If you’re a sponsored student, an agency outside the university is paying your student fees. This can be an employer, government agency, vocational rehabilitation, military branch, foreign government, trust, or other funding source.

Pay with a 529 college savings plan

If you are paying for college with a 529 college savings plan, your plan provider will mail a check to us. Be sure to allow 10 to 14 business days after you request a payment for your payment to reach us.

Instruct your plan provider to make the check payable to Indiana University and include your first and last names and your 10-digit university ID number. Have them mail your check to:
Indiana University Kokomo
Attn: Bursar
2300 S. Washington St. KC 205
Kokomo, IN 46902

ACH payments can be made using your 529 for an additional fee. Please contact your 529 financial institution for more information.

Pay through U.S. Mail

Make checks or money orders payable to Indiana University. Write your ID number on all items. Include your payment stub from your statement to ensure proper identification. Please do not send post-dated checks. Mail checks or money orders at least five days before the due date.

Please send payment or scholarship checks to the following address:
Indiana University Kokomo
Attn: Bursar
2300 S. Washington St. KC 205
Kokomo, IN 46902

Pay in Person

During office hours, payment by check, money order or cash can be accepted in the Student Central, Kelley Student Center, Room 205. Please bring your photo ID when making a payment.

After hours or on weekends, you can pay by check using the drop box outside the Student Central, Kelley Student Center, Room 205. Be sure to include the bottom portion of your statement. If that is not available, you must include your 10-digit student ID number so that payment can be properly applied. DO NOT place cash in the drop box. Payments received in the drop box will be retrieved and posted the next business day.

Employer deferment

You may qualify for an employer deferment if all or 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.

To request a deferment for the semester, the following items need to be submitted online by the fee payment due date:

Make an ACP payment

High School students taking Advanced College Project (ACP) or Dual Credit courses at their respective High Schools can pay for their college fees by one of the following methods:

Make sure you pay on time and that you have sufficient funds to cover your bill to avoid these potential pitfalls.

Returned checks

If your bank returns a non-negotiable check or electronic payment, you’ll be assessed a nonrefundable service charge. You may also be barred from enrolling at IU Indianapolis. The current service charge is $25.00. If your bank returns two or more nonnegotiable payments, you may not be able to pay with a check in the future.

Late payments

Your student account will be charged an overdue payment fee of 1.5 percent each month that it’s past due. Late fees are costly, and you can avoid them easily by paying the amount due or enrolling in the payment plan by the due date.
