To use UITS resources, you’ll need an IU Network ID, which you should have received when you first enrolled.
Connecting from Student & Residential Technology Centers
You have access to over 2,000 workstations in dozens of Student Technology Centers (STCs) and Residential Technology Centers (RTCs). There you can check email, use One.IU, surf the web, use popular software, and print using your printing allotment. See when the STCs and RTCs are staffed with consultants to assist you.
Note: Don’t forget to log out of STC and RTC workstations when you are done using them. Failing to do so is a serious security risk to both you and the university.
Connecting from Your Campus Residence
UITS provides you with a high-speed Ethernet computer connection in your campus residence. If using Ethernet, register your device on the network. Or use the wireless network access via eduroam.
Connecting Using Wireless (Wi-Fi)
With your laptop and wireless network card, you can connect to the eduroam wireless network across campus.
Game consoles and other IoT devices should be connected to IU PublicNet.
More information about how to register your gaming console or media device.
Connecting from Off Campus
If you live off campus, see if your apartment complex offers Ethernet connections or contact a local broadband (cable or DSL) service provider. You may need to authenticate using VPN to access some university services through such a provider.
Student Email
You can access your IU email on a web browser, on an email client on your computer desktop, or on your mobile device.
