IMPORTANT PAYMENT INFORMATION
December 18, 2025
Your electronic bill for Spring 2026 is available for viewing on the ISU Student Account Suite and reflects the classes for which you have registered for the Spring Semester, your current account balance, and a due date of January 12, 2026. For your convenience, we have allowed authorized aid, if any, to be used in the determination of the Net Term Activity and Amount Due. Authorized aid is aid that has been awarded but the date to disburse has not yet arrived. If your academic fees are to be billed to a second party (e.g., an embassy, ROTC, Vocational Rehabilitation, etc.), you must pay all charges not authorized by the second party no later than January 12, 2026, to avoid additional fees. The postmark date will not be considered as the date received.
End of year payment processing:
Payments received in this office by the last business day prior to winter recess will be receipted as 2025 payments. All payments received after that will be receipted as 2026 payments. Payments received through our on-line payment option will be receipted to the student account with the date they are processed.
Payment Options:
Payments can be made via the web at: www.indianastate.edu/payisu by electronic check (e-check/ACH), wire transfer, and credit/debit card. Students/payors choosing to pay with credit/debit cards in the student account suite using domestic MasterCard, Discover, VISA, JCB or American Express will be charged a non-refundable, per transaction service fee of 3.0% of the payment amount (minimum $3.00 fee) by the third-party credit card processor. International MasterCard, Discover, VISA, JCB, and American Express cards will see a service fee of 4.25% (minimum $3.00 fee). Indiana State University does not receive any part of the service fee.
NOTE: Credit/debit card payment option will be available only as an online service via the student account suite. Payments using a credit/debit card are not accepted by phone, mail or in person by the Bursar’s Office. This is a security measure that ensures confidentiality of your payment information.
To avoid paying the service fee when paying online, the electronic check (e-check/ACH) payment method in the student account suite may be used by providing your bank account routing and account numbers for checking or savings accounts.
Payment by paper check, inclusive of the university ID number, may be mailed to Indiana State University, Office of the Controller, Attn: Account Analysts, 200 North 7th Street, Terre Haute, IN 47809. Postmark dates will not be used in determining the date received. Also, for your convenience, an Office of the Controller Depository (payment drop box) is located on the north side of Parsons Hall. Should you choose to pay by mail, or the payment drop box, please write your University ID number on your paper check.
Payment Plans:
The Sycamore Plan provides three payment plan options from which you may choose - the Single Payment Plan, the Monthly Payment Plan, or the Variable Payment Plan. These plans are described on the Sycamore Payment Plans webpage.
Financial Aid:
If you have applied for a student loan, the Office of Student Financial Aid will notify you when your loan proceeds arrive. Loan proceeds will not be available to the University before January 5, 2026. Should your loan proceeds be disbursed electronically, refundable credits, if any, will be sent via paper check or direct deposit. If you need to sign up for direct deposit, the direct deposit form is available here. Should a parent loan be involved, refundable credits, if any, will be mailed to the parent borrower unless the parent had previously indicated that it should be refunded to the student.
