Frequently Asked Questions
Invoices are individually emailed (along with the official acceptance letter) to every student by the second week of February. If you can't find the email with your invoice in your inbox, please let us know and we will resend it.
Please note, emails are sent to all of the email addresses that were provided by students in their Registration Form. If another guardian should receive copies of emails, or an email address needs to be updated, please contact us at iuhpfl@iu.edu.

Yes. The $500 non-refundable deposit is due for all students. It holds your spot and allows IUHPFL to start making reservations and paying security deposits overseas.
If you experience an unavoidable delay in meeting payment deadlines or submitting forms, please email iuhpfl@iu.edu.
Please email our office at iuhpfl@iu.edu to let us know when the appointment is, and submit the form as soon as possible. If you have not made the appointment yet, please do so ASAP (and let our office know).
If you have had a physical within the last year, you do not need to have another. But a Doctor's (or Nurse Practitioner's) signature is still needed on the IUHPFL form. Please note, if you receive a new diagnosis or have a change in your prescriptions before departure, you must update our office.
Send the updated info via email to iuhpfl@iu.edu and we will edit your card. Please do not submit a new form.
If you do not currently have a mental health provider, you do not need to complete that part of the form. (If you had mental health treatment in the past and completed it successfully, then you do not need to complete that part of the form, either.)
Please send us a copy of the passport application, and send the photocopy/scan of your passport as soon as you get it. If you did not retain a copy of the application, send us an email at iuhpfl@iu.edu. We need to know the exact spelling of the name that will be on your passport so your flight will be booked under the correct name.
Dates, parking, and logistical information is all available on the Student-Guardian Orientation page.
