As an admitted student, if you are traveling to Indiana University Maurer School of Law from more than 100 miles away, you may request a lodging reimbursement up to a maximum of $300 for a one-time official admissions visit (including Admitted Student Days) as long as IU requirements are met, the Lodging Reimbursement Request Form and folio/receipt are properly submitted, and the visit is made prior to the confirmation deadline of April 15, 2026 (if your confirmation deadline is after April 15, please contact our office about lodging reimbursements). We encourage all information below be submitted as soon as possible after your visit. University policy states that in order to be eligible for a lodging reimbursement, all receipts and forms outlined below must be received by the Office of Admissions within 20 days of your visit.
Requirements
- Only admitted students traveling from their current or permanent address from more than 100 miles away from Indiana University Maurer School of Law in Bloomington will be eligible for reimbursement of lodging up to a maximum of $300.
- Admitted Student Days Biddle Hotel Room Block: If you reserve a room in our Biddle hotel room block, the law school will be billed directly for Friday and/or Saturday nights (a credit card is required to hold the reservation and for incidentals). Regardless of the credit card used, the reservation MUST be made in the admitted student’s name. If you choose to stay outside our block of rooms at either Admitted Student Day, please see the information below under Other Lodging.
- Other Lodging: If you chose to stay outside our block of rooms at the Biddle Hotel (hotel chains, AirBnB, etc.) for Admitted Student Days, or make an appointment for an Individual Admissions Visit, you may request a lodging reimbursement up to $300. Regardless of the credit card used, the reservation MUST be made in the admitted student’s name. You must submit the Lodging Reimbursement Request Form along with a copy of the paid folio/receipt within 20 days of your stay. A lodging receipt/folio submitted for reimbursement MUST show the admitted student’s name, the credit card used, a zero balance or amount paid, and be received by the Office of Admissions as soon as possible, but well within 20 days of the visit. Indiana University policy states that if these requirements are not met, you cannot be reimbursed by Indiana University.
