right to know: paying iu charges with federal aid

Print this page

If students meet all eligibility requirements, their federal financial assistance will be disbursed through the Office of the Bursar, and credited to the student's account. All current IU charges are paid first; the student will be paid (“refunded”) any remaining amounts. Disbursement procedures are explained on the inserts included with the bursar bill and in the IU Schedule of Classes.

The Office of the Bursar will:

  • use financial aid to pay other University charges besides fees and housing, which are automatically paid by federal aid.
  • pay any outstanding charges from a previous academic period with any funds remaining after current charges are paid from any federal grants and loans that have been credited to the account.

Their address is:
