The undergraduate student government of IUPUI is known as the IUPUI Undergraduate Student Assembly (USA). The principle legislative body of the USA is the Student Senate, and there also is a House of Organizations to provide a voice for student organizations. The USA is led by a president, vice president and other elected officers. The format of the USA student governance is detailed in the Articles of Constitution of the Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis Undergraduate Student Body, the complete text of which is available in the Faculty Council Office.

The Graduate Student Organization

Graduate level general academic and professional students have a separate student governance organization, the Graduate Student Organization (GSO). The structure and function of the GSO is outlined in the Constitution of the Graduate Student Organization, a copy of which is available in the Faculty Council Office.

Student Fees

All students are subject to a number of different fees, some mandatory, others optional (i.e., contingent). The principal mandatory fee is tuition, which is based on the number of credit hours taken (except in Medicine and Dentistry); but there are others, in particular, technology, student activity, and athletic development fees. Certain course-specific fees are also mandatory. Various fees are also charged for optional services, e.g., parking. For the current information and details, see current Schedule of Classes.
