Semester charges for fall are due and payable by Aug. 15th prior to the semester starting. Semester charges for the spring are due and payable by Dec. 15th prior to the semester starting. Exceptions apply to pending financial aid, as long as all requested information and or documents have been submitted. If all requested information and or documents have not been submitted to the Financial Aid Office by, Aug. 15th or Dec. 15th, the remaining balance is due immediately. The following payment options are available to assist you with a plan to pay your balance.
PLAN ONE:
Pay net amount due by Aug. 15th for the fall semester and by Dec. 15th for the spring semester. Net amount due represents total charges, less any scholarships, grants or campus administered loans confirmed by the Financial Aid Office. IWU accepts Visa, Discover, MasterCard and American Express. Online payments may be paid through the secure student portal by selecting 'Pay on My Account' located in the student account information.
PLAN TWO:
Pay net amount using any Federal Direct Loan or Parent Plus loan. All paperwork must be received in the Financial Aid Office by Aug. 15th for fall and by Dec. 15th for spring. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!
PLAN THREE:
Enroll in a tuition payment plan that spreads net amount due over each semester. IWU partners with Official Payments to offer multiple tuition payment plans. Please see below for more information about Official Payments.
Official Payments Tuition Payment Plan
Official Payments is a private organization that offers you the opportunity to pay your tuition over time through a convenient, easy and affordable tuition payment plan. There is a non-refundable $25.00 application fee per payment plan set up, but there is no interest charged on these plans. OPC is not a loan program, but if you need a monthly payment plan it is the way to go. You establish a contract with OPC based on the amount you need to pay per semester. OPC will divide the amount of your contract into equal monthly payments. Payment is due to OPC on the 10th of every month, and then they will forward that payment to us after they receive it. Only payments received monthly by OPC are forwarded to us. We do not receive the money in advance of your payment. To sign up, please visit payplan.officialpayments.com
Refunds
Registration is an agreement between the student and the university. If a student withdraws, a refund may be given, depending upon the period of time that has elapsed from the beginning of the semester. Refunds apply to those completely withdrawing from school, not to those who drop a course. For refund rates, you may contact Student Account Services or refer to the university catalog. Failure to pay does not withdraw you from classes. Should you decide not to attend IWU, you must notify the Records Office before the end of the drop/add period in order to receive 100% refund.
Registration
A student may not register for the next semester, term or session until any outstanding balance is paid in full.
Transcript Requests
Students requesting a transcript must have their balance paid in full to IWU before transcripts will be released.
