- Attend orientation August 13-14, 2010.
- Registration/Due Date: The Medical Student Affairs Office will not register you for fall courses until late July or early August. Bills are electronic; a paper bill is not mailed. A notification is sent to the student's IUPUI email address letting them know a bill is ready for pick up. The balance of the student account, their current bill, plus their electronic bill history can be viewed by the student or their designated third party via the OneStart portal. Only students whose financial aid does not fully cover all of their medical fees will receive an electronic notification. This notification is scheduled to be sent on August 4th and will carry a due date of August 18th. An itemized bill will be available for all students via OneStart after the first Tuesday of August.
