About these numbers

We’re showing you the cost of attendance for a full academic year (fall and spring semesters). Cut these numbers in half to figure out the cost of a single semester.

Your actual costs for food and housing, books and supplies, transportation, and personal expenses will vary based on:

  • The number of credit hours you take
  • Whether you’re an undergraduate or graduate student
  • Whether you’re an Indiana resident
  • Your personal choices
  • Your travel habits

Your cost of attendance may differ from these estimates. Visit the Student Center in One.IU for your specific budget.
