Every student has a bursar account. This online account is where you'll manage your finances associated with attending IUPUI. Some common expenses charged to your bursar account include tuition, fees, CrimsonCard deposits, housing, meal plans etc. 

Any scholarships and financial aid you receive may be applied to your bursar account, lowering the amount you owe the University.

The University will send your bursar bill on the third Thursday of every month. That bill is due to be paid by the 10th of the following month.

How does my bursar bill relate to my CrimsonCard?

Students can make deposits to their CrimsonCash account to be used to make purchases. These deposits can be billed to your student bursar account, where they can be paid for using any method of payment accepted by the Bursar office.

For example, you log in to your CrimsonCash account and instantly deposit $100 to purchase a textbook. You choose to pay for this $100 deposit by billing it to your bursar account. When you receive your next bursar bill, you will owe the University $100 for the CrimsonCash deposit that was made.

If you are receiving financial aid, including grants, scholarships, or loans, there is a possibility it will pay for your CrimsonCard deposit(s). For this to be a possibility, you must deposit funds to your CrimsonCash account by August 3, 2020. This date ensures your deposit is complete before financial aid is disbursed to your bursar account. You must also complete a Title IV form. 

Financial aid will cover the cost of essential expenses first. These expenses include tuition, fees, amongst many more. If aid remains after paying the essential expenses, it could pay for CrimsonCard deposits made by August 3, 2020. 

It's recommended that questions about financial aid be directed to a representative from the Financial Aid office. 

While you can't directly bill your textbook purchase to your bursar account, you can bill a CrimsonCash deposit to your bursar account. You can then use your CrimsonCard to purchase your textbooks at the Barnes and Noble campus bookstore, either in-person or online.

Those wanting to use CrimsonCash to make purchases on the IUPUI Barnes and Noble website must utilize the 16-digit card number starting with "6012". This number can be found on your CrimsonCard. If you not received your physical CrimsonCard yet, you can find this number online by following these steps:

If you make a CrimsonCard deposit before August 3, 2020, and have a signed Title IV form on file, there is a possibility your financial aid will pay for your CrimsonCard deposit(s) made before August 3, 2020. 

You can then use your CrimsonCard to purchase textbooks and supplies from the campus bookstore, both online and in-store. 

Otherwise, if you are receiving a financial aid refund, you can wait for it to be direct deposited into your account or sent to you via a check.
