Cost of IU

About these numbers

We’re showing you the estimated cost of attendance for the full 2026–2027 academic year (fall and spring semesters). Cut these numbers in half to figure out the cost of a single semester.

To get the most benefits from each academic year, students will be able to take advantage of 40 credit hours across fall, spring, and our August and winter intersessions—for the same cost.

Tuition and fees outlined here for the 2026–2027 academic year are based on 40 credit hours across all terms for undergraduates and 11 credits per semester for graduate students.

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

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

Your cost of attendance may differ from these estimates. For your specific budget, visit the Financial Aid Summary page under Financials in your Student Center.
