We estimate a standard cost of attendance, or budget, for all groups of students. This information varies depending on undergraduate or graduate status as well as residency, enrollment status (full-time, half-time, etc), and living arrangements. Below are the most commonly used budgets.
Cost of Attendance
- Residents of several Western OH counties can be considered 'reciprocity' students and pay 'In-State' tuition rates.
- From a Midwest Student Exchange / Indiana Partners state? Your cost may be less than the out-of-state estimate.
- Attending less than half time? Only tuition & fees and books & supplies can be covered by financial aid.
Standard cost of attendance (Undergraduate)
This is the estimated cost of attendance for a full-time, on-campus undergraduate student for the full 2023-2024 academic year (fall and spring semesters). Cut these numbers in half to figure out the cost of a single semester. Tuition and fees outlined here are based on 12 to 18 credits per semester.

Your cost of attendance may differ from these estimates and will not be what you will owe the university. Based on your enrollment, IU East will bill you each semester for tuition and fees. Visit the Student Center in One.IU for your specific billing information.
