Education Savings Accounts and 529 Plans
Funds from Education Savings Accounts and 529 Plans are accepted. Be sure to check your provider's plan-specific process to make payments.
Employer Reimbursement Deferment Plan
With this option, applicable charges can be deferred until after grades are posted, allowing employer tuition reimbursement plans to pay those fees.
Sponsored Students
Sponsored students have an external source other than a student loan or type of financial aid that is responsible for their tuition costs. This includes financial guarantees from an organization, government agency, or trust.
Past Due Balances
Having a past due balance on your U-Bill can result in holds that may stop enrollment in future semesters, U-Bill charges at the University Book Store or other ISU Departments, and impose other restrictions. These holds lift automatically when the balance is paid in full.
1098-T Tax Forms
1098-T forms for the prior calendar year are made available in Workday each January.
