Your student may view bills, grant third party access, and make payments at One.IU. To review or pay the bill, please visit One.IU and search for the “View/Pay Bursar Bill” application. Student bills are always due on 10th of the month. Please be aware that in order for federal financial aid money to pay non-institutional charges (like a parking permit) on your student’s Bursar account, your student must have Title IV authorization on file. Without this authorization, non-institutional fees will not be covered by your student’s financial aid. This would mean that your student could receive a financial aid refund, but still have an outstanding balance left on the account to be paid out of pocket. For more information, please visit bursar.iupui.edu or call (317) 274-2451.
