The Billing Process

If you are delinquent, please call the Bursar's office at 260-481-6824 to make payment arrangements and avoid further action.

Initial Billing

All billing statements are generated electronically and an email notification is sent to students ipfw.edu email address.  The 1st billing will be generated about 1 month before early fee payments are due for each semester.

Continued Billings

Account changes made after 1st billing and before the end of the semester will create an updated billing statement and an email notification.

Delinquent Reminders

Email notices will be sent to delinquent accounts.  The notices will warn of the delinquent penalty fee assessment and account hold.

Delinquent Penalty

The delinquent payment charge will be assessed on unpaid accounts.  An email billing notice will be sent with a final warning to avoid an account hold.

Late Fee

A late fee will be assessed on unpaid accounts after a 10 day grace period.  An email notice is sent informing of the late fee assessment.

Account Holds

Delinquent accounts will be placed on hold.  An email notice is sent.  A hold will prevent future registration, release of transcript, online viewing of grades and release of diploma.

Past Due Billings

Past due email notices and letters will be sent through the end of the term, informing students of payment options and the possibility of further collection action including Administrative Removal from current classes.

Administrative Removal

Delinquent accounts will be administratively removed from all classes.  Tuition charges will remain on the account.  Once withdrawn for non-payment a student is not able to re-enroll in classes.  There is an appeals process whereby students can explain why fees were not paid and ask to be re-enrolled in classes.

Final Demand

A final demand for payment will be sent by letter about 30 days after the end of the semester.  The student will be advised of payment options, the final bill date to make arrangements and that their account is being prepared for referral to small claims court or a local attorney.

Final Collection

Accounts will be filed with small claims court.  Large accounts will be placed with a local attorney.
