New mobile version for Student Online Advising Records
Student Online Advising Records (SOAR) was released in fall 2020 as a desktop application. Now, an improved mobile version is available based on feedback from students.
SOAR provides access to your GPA, area of study, enrollment information, and academic advisor notes. SOAR also offers quick access to the Student Center, Bursar bills, Student Appointment Scheduler, faculty feedback, and iGPS.
Duo upgrade on July 12
Two-Step Login (Duo) will be upgraded on July 12 to Duo Universal Prompt at IU. In an effort to make logging into IU systems more secure, the Call Me or SMS (text) options will be removed.
No action is required, but you will notice a different look to the Duo prompt. Questions? Contact your campus UITS Support Center.
