One.IU is the front door to all online services at IU Indianapolis. From One.IU, students are able to perform tasks such as register for courses, view unofficial transcripts and view bursar account information.
Instructions for creating your IU Indianapolis username and passphrase can be viewed on the University Information Technology Services (UITS) website. Once we receive your IU Indianapolis email address it will be added to our student listserv. It is important that you check your student email account regularly. All departmental communications will be distributed via this account. As a student, you can have your IU Indianapolis email address forwarded to an existing personal (i.e. Gmail or Yahoo) email address. Please see the instructions on forwarding email.
Canvas supports teaching and learning, committees, projects, research, and portfolios for Indiana University's community of students, faculty, and staff. This tool will allow instructor to post assignments, grades and syllabus. Note: information and course content will be available on Canvas as soon as an instructor publishes the course.
The IU CrimsonCard is free to all enrolled students on the IU Indianapolis campus and is required for all students at IU Indianapolis. You will need to go to the Campus Card Services office located in the IU Indianapolis Campus Center. If you have any questions, you can contact 317-274-5177. When obtaining your CrimsonCard you must present proof of identification and student status (i.e. copy of registration).
