If you will need a student visa in order to enroll at IU Indianapolis, you must submit financial documentation verifying your ability to pay your tuition and living expenses for one year.
When it's time for us to issue your I-20, you will receive an email from International Admissions with the exact amount you will need to show. Until then, you may review the cost estimates below.
Your tuition rate may vary depending on your program. Some programs calculate tuition as a flat rate for the year or semester, while others provide the cost per credit hour.
As an international student, yours will be the "Out of state" cost. If your tuition rate is shown per credit hour, you will need to multiply the cost by the required number of credit hours for one year of full-time study.
Here is your estimate of general fees. Special program, laboratory, and course-specific fees that may apply for certain programs are not included.
| Fee | Amount |
|---|---|
| General | $1,208 |
| Placement Test (one-time charge) | $52 |
| International services | $312 |
| First year subtotal | $1,572 |
Your I-20 living expense estimate is calculated to cover 9 months, and does not include summer. If you plan to stay for the summer, be sure to plan for additional living expenses.
Actual costs will depend on your personal choices and spending habits. Housing costs will vary depending on where you live. Eating meals in restaurants will significantly increase the cost of food each month. The information below is based on the average cost of campus housing with a full meal plan.
