FootNote 1 about Full-time Tution: Undergraduates who enroll in 12-18 academic units per semester are considered full-time, and they are charged a full-time "banded" tuition rate.
FootNote 2 about Books and Supplies: In recent years, a student survey conducted by the National Association of College Stores (NACS) has found increasing numbers of students renting their books, shopping competitively online, and using more free materials. All IU campuses use the NACS survey results as a basis for estimating costs of books and supplies.
FootNote 3 about Transportation Costs: Includes modest commuting costs between the campus and the student's primary residence.
FootNote 4 about possible rounding errors: The costs of Tuition and Mandatory Fees are each rounded to the nearest dollar amount before being aggregated and reported above. This methodology is done to replicate how IPEDS collects and publishes this information. As such, reported amounts for Tuition and Mandatory Fees, as well as Total Estimated Costs, may vary slightly from the true costs.
