2018-2019 Graduate Catalog

Fees and Expenses

Fees

An email notice will be sent to the student’s BSU email account from The Office of Bursar and Loan Administration when the e-bill is created each month. To view or pay a student’s account, or to print a paper copy of the eBill, go to www.bsu.edu/ebill. A Ball State e-mail account is required to access the eBill account. It is recommended that students visit their eBill account on a regular basis for current account information.

Payments may be made through eBill using a checking or savings account, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express. VISA is not accepted. Please be aware that when making a payment by credit card, students will incur an additional convenience fee, which is set by the credit card companies. Payments can also be made by check, money order, cashier’s check, or cash at the bursar’s office, or sent through the mail.

Payments are due on the first day of each month. For a complete schedule of tuition, fees, and due dates, go to www.bsu.edu/bursar. The Ball State University Board of Trustees reserves the right to change the tuition and other charges for any semester or term.

Description of Tuition

Tuition assessment is determined by the number of credits for which students enroll. An additional fee per credit is assessed all graduate students on courses taken for any type of credit. In addition, special fees and charges are assessed for certain courses and services. A complete listing of fees and other charges is available at www.bsu.edu/bursar.

Withdrawal Procedures

To withdraw from all courses during a semester or term, contact the Office of Retention and Graduation, SC L-20, 765-285-3312 and complete an application for withdrawal. Students are strongly encouraged to discuss their withdrawal intention with staff in this office before removing courses from their schedule.

If students withdraw from all courses, instructors will be notified. Each instructor will be asked to report the last day of attendance and a grade of W will be given for each course, provided the student withdrew by the published deadline. Grades of W will appear on the student’s transcript but will not affect the GPA. Students must continue to attend classes until submitting a completed withdrawal form. If there are verifiable extenuating circumstances that make withdrawal from all courses necessary and academically justified after the withdrawal period, the Director of Retention and Graduation (or designee) may grant an exception to permit withdrawal. Faculty members will record the last date of attendance and a grade of W or F.
