If your student account is past due (encumbered), a hold will be placed on your account. This means that you’re denied certain university services such as registering for classes or ordering transcripts. Once you pay the balance, or appropriate credit is applied, financial holds will be removed.
Note that the Student Loan Administration may also place a hold on your account if you have outstanding actions to complete.
If you don’t pay your bill and we can’t agree on a payment arrangement with you, we may report your balance to the credit bureau and place it with an outside collection agency.
You could also face legal trouble, wage garnishment, or loss of income tax refunds. You could be liable for all reasonable collection costs, including agency and attorney fees associated with collection efforts.
The Annual Security and Fire Safety Report, containing policy statements, crime and fire statistics for all Indiana University campuses, is available online. You may also request a physical copy by emailing IU Public Safety at iups@iu.edu or by visiting IUPD.
