Student computing accounts, data, and software when you leave IU
As an IU student, your access to IU computing resources remains active as long as you are enrolled at any IU campus. After you have not enrolled in any courses through the IU registrar for two consecutive terms (fall, spring, and summer are each considered one term), your IU computing accounts will become inactive. It is imperative you transfer any needed data before then.

Where are your finals?
It’s your responsibility to make sure you know when and where you’ll be taking your finals, so make it easier on yourself and find the date and time of your final exams at IU on any campus.
Unifying IU email addresses to the iu.edu domain name
Over the next 19 months, Indiana University will unify its email communication to a single domain, iu.edu. The One Mail project is a strategic move that will improve the security of students, faculty, and staff against cyberthreats and unite all campuses under a single email domain. The One Mail project will have no effect on your ability to access and use IU systems, nor will it be necessary for you to move any of your email.

Using oral histories as course materials
Personal papers and oral history recordings are being digitally preserved at IU, as collected by The HistoryMakers, the nation’s largest African American oral history archive. In Bloomington, the unlimited subscriber license allows instructors to use the database in classroom assignments.

Protect online meeting recordings
More and more staff and faculty at IU are needing to work from home or another remote location. In this environment, it’s crucial to approach recording with caution and respect for privacy and confidentiality when sensitive information is involved.
