Welcome to IU Bloomington! The Office of International Services will guide you through your steps to enroll.

To create your computing account, you’ll need your university ID number, which you will find in your IU Portal.

You must set up your computing account to:

• Apply for housing
• Schedule New Student Orientation (where you’ll also schedule your first semester of classes)

Please note: This computing account and email account are different than the account you created to apply. Creating an IU email account will allow you to receive important information from the university—it does not commit you to enrolling at IU.

Create your IU computing account and email account

If you have not set up your computing account, use the steps below to take care of this task. If you already have a computing account, you can follow the prompts to create your IU email account. 

1. Open Create My First IU Account in One.IU.

2. Read and agree to the Guidelines for Appropriate Usage.

3. Enroll in the Passphrase Self-Service Reset System. If you forget your passphrase, this tool will let you reset it yourself without having to visit a UITS Support Center location in person.

4. Save or record your account information in a secure place. You will need this information each time you log in to your IU computing account.

5. Follow the instructions to set up your IU email account.

6. It may take up to 24 hours before you can log in to some services.

What to do if you have forgotten your ID or other information

1. Forgot your 10-digit university ID number? If you are an ACP student, use the Information Recovery Form. All other students should go to their IU Portal. You'll find it under your Application Details section. If you still need assistance, please email the Office of Admissions at iub.admissions@iu.edu. (In order to help you, we will request additional information.)

2. Forgot your username? Contact the UITS Support Center.

3. Forgot your passphrase? Reset it here.

Please note that if you have previously been enrolled in or participated in a program at any IU campus and were given a 10-digit university ID number and username, you will use the same university ID number and username to access (or set up) your IU computing account.

Let us know if you need special accommodations to help you perform at your best. Register with Accessible Educational Services (AES) as soon as you’ve been accepted at IU Bloomington.

Whether your condition is physical, medical, learning related, psychiatric, or a temporary disability, AES will help you achieve your academic goals. Note that services do not automatically transfer from your previous school; you must apply for services at IU. Approval for accommodations on placement tests does not automatically qualify you for services during the academic year.

Contact AES at your earliest convenience. They’ll meet with you during New Student Orientation to ensure that services will be in place when the academic year starts.

Here are our policies for deferring your application or acceptance:

• If you have been accepted and choose to defer, you must still send us your final official high school transcript. If you selected to have your SAT and/or ACT scores test scores considered as a part of your admissions review and you self-reported your scores on your application, you will need to send your official SAT and/or ACT scores scores to IU Bloomington, which should be sent directly from the testing agencies. Your application may be re-reviewed based on any new academic information.
• If your application is in progress, meaning you have submitted your application and some or all of your supplemental materials, but you have not yet received a response, you will need to send us your final, official high school transcript to have your application processed.

To defer, fill out the online deferral form for domestic freshman and transfer students at least two weeks before the start of the term for which you originally applied. Once on the form, choose "Entry Term" and complete the deferral information. 

If you have taken any additional enrollment steps, such as applying for housing or registering for classes, make sure to take action—you will need to cancel your housing contract and withdraw from any courses.
