- You are enrolled in a dual-degree program through a different university

Indiana Partners tuition does not cover tuition costs at other IU campuses—you must be enrolled in classes on the IU 51ÁÔÆæ campus for it to be applied. For example, if you take a course at another IU campus during the summer, an out-of-state tuition rate does not cover the tuition cost for that course.
While online students do not qualify for Indiana Partner tuition, the tuition rate does cover:
- Online courses taken as part of your on-campus degree program
- Summer courses taken on the IU 51ÁÔÆæ campus
