Tuition Rate

Through the Advance College Project (ACP) students can get full college credits at an incredible savings compared to standard on-campus rates.

Subject to the approval of the Indiana University (IU) Board of Trustees, ACP students pay a special off-campus undergraduate resident tuition rate that is lower than the per-credit-hour rate on any of the IU campuses because ACP students do not use campus facilities and services.

Fee payment is figured by taking the current per-credit-hour rate (see Tuition Schedule for ACP Courses) and multiplying it by the number of credit hours for which the student is enrolling. Additional on-campus fees are waived. ACP students are not subject to the flat fee schedule. ACP students pay the resident tuition fee regardless of residency status.

ACP students who are eligible for free or reduced lunch will receive a full fee remission. 

Tuition Benefit, formerly known as Fee courtesy, granted to full-time university employees and disabled veteran's benefits apply to ACP course fees. For details, visit the Financial Aid Benefits page.

Payment

Please be aware that once the application is signed by a parent or guardian and is approved by the ACP office, the student is responsible for the tuition associated with the ACP course(s) chosen.

If the parent employee has completed fee courtesy paperwork by March 1 preceding the school year a student will be taking ACP classes, the student will be billed for one-half of the ACP tuition. If a student qualifies for fee courtesy but has not filed the form by that date, the university policy is to bill for the full amount. 

IU East and IU Northwest: For schools registering through IU East ad IU Northwest, fee payment is to be included with the student's ACP application. The check or money order is to be made payable to Indiana University. The student's name and Indiana University ID if known should appear on the check or money order. Another option is to pay by credit card.

IU Bloomington, IU Kokomo, and IU South Bend: Students applying through IU Bloomington, IU Kokomo, IU South Bend and IU Southeast will be billed by the bursar on those campuses. Payment options include check and money order. IU South Bend also accepts credit cards (Visa, MasterCard and Discover). IU Kokomo accepts credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and Nova), but students must first establish email accounts. IU Bloomington does not accept credit cards. Directions about the payment will be given on the bill statement. Non-payment will not constitute withdrawal from the course(s), and late fees will be assessed if the balance is not paid by the due date on your bill.

Electronic Billing: If a student has opened an email account at Indiana University, he or she may receive his or her bill through email, and a paper statement may not be mailed to the student. The ACP Office attempts to identify such students and mails a postcard reminding the student to check for an electronic bill.
