Frequently Asked Questions
Invoices are individually emailed (along with the official acceptance letter) to every student 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.
Below is the link to make a payment online via credit card. You will need your invoice and customer number handy at the time of payment.

Yes, please make the check for Program Fees payable to Indiana University and send payment to the following address:
Indiana University—Accounts Receivable
Dept. 78896
P.O. Box 78000
Detroit, Michigan 48278-0896
Make sure you write your customer number and invoice number on the check. Detach the lower portion of your invoice and include it with the check. (Please note Program Fees are separate from Airfare Fees).
Yes, if you are able, that would be great. It saves time for you and our administrative staff. Please remember that you will receive a different invoice from Travel Leaders for airfare fees (after you have paid the initial deposit).
Airfare fees are separate from Program Fees. You will receive a separate invoice from Travel Leaders, after you've paid the deposit. If you have any questions about flights, here is Travel Leaders' contact information:
Travel Leaders
Attn: Debbie Isom
10202-D Coldwater Rd
Fort Wayne, IN 46825
(812) 339-7800
disom@travlead.com
See our page of Travel Information for the complete flight itinerary.
See our Program Fees page for current airfare fees for each site.
Any changes in prices between now and departure due to itinerary adjustments will be minimal.
If the airfare fees seem high to you, please note that it is because costs for Group Travel are higher than individual tickets. Group flights function in a way that keep an IUHPFL team (the students, plus the designated IUHPFL instructors) together and organized for the whole flight. In the case of a flight change or cancellation, the entire group is rebooked and a potential giant logistical mess would be avoided!
Here is breakdown of the fee payment schedule (per the Student Checklist):
Program Fees (to IU Accounts Receivable) | |
---|---|
2/15 | $500 deposit (non-refundable) |
3/15 | $1000 |
4/15 | $1500 |
5/15 | Program Fees Balance |
Airfare (to Travel Leaders) | |
---|---|
3/1 | $500 deposit ($250 non-refundable) |
4/1 | Airfare Balance (per Travel Leaders invoice) |
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 (by Travel Leaders) under the correct name.
Dates, parking, and logistical information is all available on the Student-Guardian Orientation page.
