About these numbers
We’re showing you the estimated cost of attendance for the full 2023–24 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 2023–24 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. Visit the Student Center in One.IU for your specific budget.
