E-Mail

  Assignment of Student Email

As a student at IU, you have been assigned a university e-mail address which is the University's official mode of communication with you. The domains for the addresses vary according to campus (e.g., indiana.edu for IU Bloomington, iupui.edu for IUPU Indianapolis, iun.edu for IU Northwest). You can locate your IU e-mail address at the link below.

Official university communications will be sent to this official university email addresses and your responsibilities are as follows:

• Students are expected to check their email on a frequent and consistent basis in order to stay current with university-related communications.
• Students must insure that there is sufficient space in their accounts to allow for email to be delivered.
• Students have the responsibility to recognize that certain communications may be time-critical. Students will not be held responsible for an interruption in their ability to access a message if system malfunctions or other system-related problems prevent timely delivery of, or access to, that message (e.g., power outages or email system viruses).
• In addition to the university email account, for courses where the instructor uses Oncourse, students should check for course-related email within Oncourse. The same user id and password are used for Oncourse and the university email system. For more information about Oncourse, visit oncourse.iu.edu.

  Forwarding of Email

Students who forward email to a private email address outside the official university electronic mail system do so at their own risk. The University is not responsible for any difficulties that may occur in the proper or timely transmission or access of email forwarded to any unofficial email address, and any such problems will not absolve students of their responsibility to know and comply with the content of official communications sent to students’ official IU email addresses.
