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.
