Employee Fee Courtesy
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 Indian 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 the Fee Courtesy. Then the Student Accounts (Bursar) Office 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.
The dollar limits for each campus can be found at: www.indiana.edu/~uhrs/benefits

- Grants: SSACI, Pell, Lilly, etc.
- Scholarships
- Monies borrowed from banking institutions
- Monies borrowed through the University: Perkins, NDSL, Federal Nursing, Health Professionals etc.

Additional Fees

Credit by Examination
The Trustees of Indiana University have approved the following fee structure for special credit. If the credit is awarded as a result of an examination and:
- is during the first or second consecutive semester of matriculation, there is no charge;
- the applicant is a first semester transfer student, there is a $10 per credit hour charge; or
- the applicant is neither of the above the standard credit hour resident or nonresident rate will be assessed.
Non-Payment
Students who have not paid their fees or made other payment arrangements (personal, financial aid, or sponsor authorizations) by the fee payment deadline may be subject to a late payment fee. It is your responsibility to ensure all financial aid, scholarships, student loans, or sponsor authorizations have been posted to your bursar account prior to the fee payment due date.
Non-Attendance
When you register, the University reserves specific class spaces for you and commits resources to provide the instruction you have selected. On your part, you assume the responsibility for paying those course fees or for notifying the University if you decide not to attend. Your registration will not automatically be cancelled for nonpayment of fees. You must either pay your fees or notify us by the first week of classes if you do not intend to return to IUE for the semester. Canceling your registration by the first week of classes releases your class spaces in time to be available to other students. If you decide to cancel your registration during the first week of classes, long on to OneStart. Click on Self Serve and then click on Drop/Add Classes.
Returned Checks
The return by the bank of any dishonored check/item which you have issued: (1) for fees; (2) for previous balance billed; or (3) anywhere on campus will be assessed a twenty dollar ($20.00) or 5% of face value (whichever is greater) per check service charge. The agreement with our bank is that checks will be sent through twice before they are returned to us as a dishonored check. However, once we have received a dishonored check/item it is considered a return check regardless of the number of times it has been sent through by our bank. The issuance of a stop payment order through your bank DOES NOT constitute the official withdrawal from University classes.
PLEASE NOTE: The Bursar’s Office will contact the student for any check/item that was written for tuition fees and was returned by the bank as dishonored. The amount of the dishonored check/item and the returned check service charge will need to be paid with guaranteed funds by a specified date.
Dishonored checks/items for fees other than tuition must be paid with guaranteed funds in the appropriate amount (including the returned check service charge) by the next billing due date. These accounts will also be flagged with "No Check Accepted".
In either case, once payment has been received for the returned check/item, the "No Checks Accepted" flag will be removed however; if we receive two (2) or more returned checks/items on any one account, we will not accept another personal check for a minimum of two (2) years.
