Sponsored students’ fees are paid for by an agency outside of Indiana University, such as an employer, government agency, branch of the military, vocational rehabilitation program, foreign government, or trust.
To become a sponsor at Indiana University, you must be able to enroll in and utilize our vended sponsor portal. This portal will be used to obtain invoices and submit payments and will ensure enhanced security for our sponsors via email authentication.
To avoid late fees, any balance not covered by the employer should be paid in full by the first due date of the semester. Payment of fees by the sponsor cannot be contingent upon specific classes, final grades, course completion, or employment status.
By providing us with your voucher, you are authorizing the release of pertinent student account information as required for our office to invoice your sponsor.
Canceling sponsor credits
Due to the nature of the sponsor process, most sponsor credit adjustments or cancellations happen late in the semester, after the Office of the Bursar has exhausted all efforts to collect payment. It is important for sponsored students to monitor their university email as that is the official means of communication for the university. A credit on your student account does not mean the sponsor has fulfilled their obligation.
Sponsors who have questions regarding the sponsor process or would like to set-up a sponsor account can contact us by email at iuspon@iu.edu. Student questions should be directed to iuk.studentcentral@iu.edu.
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:
A copy of your employer's tuition reimbursement policy
Proof of employment
Payment of the balance of your bill not covered by your employer by the 1st due date of the semester
All request forms and documentation can be uploaded online and payment may be made online by visiting View/Pay Bursar Bill in One.iu.edu.
Within 2 business days of receipt of the deferment form, the Office of the Bursar will defer your tuition and fees and keep your account in good standing. Please watch your email for communication.
Fees are deferred until two weeks after grades are final.
