The university reserves the right to send official communications to students by email with the full expectation students will receive and read these messages in a timely fashion. Official university email accounts are available for all registered students. Official university communications will be sent to students’ official university email addresses. For IU Bloomington, this is the @iu.edu address.
You are expected to check your email frequently and consistently to stay current with university-related communications. In addition to monitoring your university email account, you may want to check for course-related email within Canvas. The same user ID and passphrase is used for Canvas and the university email system. For more information, visit Canvas.
Notice: Please be advised that email is not considered to be a secure medium for the transmission of confidential and/or sensitive information (see IU Classifications of Institutional Data for more information). If you need to send confidential and/or sensitive information via email to Student Central about registration, financial aid, or your student account, use our secure contact form instead.
