1The non-refundable IU Bloomington Online Placement Exam Fee covers mathematics and foreign language online placement exams that are overseen by BEST and that are taken unproctored by students. The fee will be assessed and appear on a student's bursar bill the first time a student takes an online placement exam in a testing year (March–February), and it will cover any additional such exams taken during that year.
2These exams previously required a non-refundable IU Bloomington Biology and Calculus Advanced Placement and Exemption Exam Fee, but beginning in March 2024, there is no longer a fee to take Biology Exemption or Calculus Placement Exams.
