This page provides information about transferring funds to the IU Office of the Bursar, paying for tuition, fees, housing expenses, and general spending upon arrival.
Payment of tuition and fees for Fall 2008 will be due no later than September 10, 2008. If you have already signed a contract with Residential Programs and Services for room and meal expenses on campus, your first payment will be due on this same date. You must access your bursar e-bill using OneStart, and following the links to your bill. (Refer to the Office of the Bursar website for assistance with billing and due date information.)
Depending on the currency, it can take from one day to two weeks or more to get foreign currency exchanges at your bank or credit union in Bloomington. If you require foreign currency, the Currency Exchange at the Indianapolis International Airport can obtain nearly any nation’s currency for exchange. You should contact them at (317) 241-0440 two weeks prior to departure.
Transferring funds from abroad often takes time. It is a good idea to plan ahead and budget accordingly. There are several ways to transfer your money from abroad to Bloomington.
Funds sent from abroad should be written in US dollars and sent to the account of your American bank, if possible. It usually takes several days for a bank draft to clear. It is often safest to send bank drafts by registered mail. You may wish to approximate the amount of funds you will need for the academic year based on the amount stated on your I-20 or DS-2019 document.
All financial institutions accept wire transfers. To send money directly to your Bloomington account, just ask your financial institution for its wire transfer routing number and address. Be sure to include your complete name and account number.
To pay for charges billed to your IU bursar account, please note the following:
Be sure to include the student’s name and IU student ID number in the body of the wire.
We suggest that you bring approximately $1,000–1,500 with you ($200 in cash and the remainder in traveler’s checks). The commonly accepted credit cards at ATM’s are Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express. Foreign credit cards are commonly not accepted in stores and restaurants. Credit cards are not accepted by the IU Office of the Bursar.
Upon your arrival, you may decide which bank you prefer and then use a local bank for your banking needs, including future money transfers. They will have information about their services available each day during orientation. Before orientation, you may visit Money and Banking.
Additional information about billing and payment options can be found on the Bursar’s website. If you have any specific questions, you may contact the Office of the Bursar at bursar@indiana.edu.
