Learn about Update to Aramark Catering Rights
Effective March 14, Aramark and IPFW have agreed to suspend their exclusive catering rights. This will allow Aramark time to address any catering issues and foster better partnerships with departments.
During this suspension Aramark will be the university's preferred caterer. Departments are encouraged to contact Aramark to discuss their catering events and budgets to learn what they can provide, but catering decisions will be made by the department. IPFW business managers will not require catering waivers.
IPFW has been very pleased with Aramark's restaurant operations and their continued plans to meet the needs of the campus community. Do take advantage of these convenient dining locations. Questions about dining and catering? Visit the website.

Help Students Know What They Owe
As students begin to register for fall and prepare for summer classes, the Bursar's office will begin assessing fees for the summer 2016 semester (sessions I and II) in mid-April. The fees will be due the Friday before classes begin (May 13).
There is a due date later in the summer, but it's only for students who don't register for any summer classes until after May 13.
Fall fees will be assessed mid-July and are due the Friday before classes begin (August 19).
As always, deferred payment plans are available that can spread the cost over the length of the semester. Refer students to the Bursar (481-6824 or bursar@ipfw.edu) if they have questions about their student account.
