Indiana University Bloomington

E-mail Communication Policy

The University reserves the right to send official communications to students by e-mail with the full expectation that students will receive e-mail and read these e-mails in a timely fashion. Official university e-mail accounts are available for all registered students. Official university communications will be sent to students’ official university e-mail addresses. For IU-Bloomington, this is the @indiana.edu address.

Students are expected to check their e-mail on a frequent and consistent basis in order to stay current with universityrelated communications. In addition to their university e-mail account, students should also check for course-related e-mail within Oncourse. The same user id and password are used for Oncourse and the university e-mail system. For more information about Oncourse, visit http://oncourse.iu.edu.

Students who choose to have their e-mail forwarded from their official university e-mail address to another address do so at their own risk. The University is not responsible for any difficulties that may occur in the proper or timely transmission or access to e-mail forwarded to any other address, and any such problems will not absolve students of their responsibility to know and comply with the content of official communications sent to their official IU e-mail addresses. Instructions on setting up or cancelling the forwarding of e-mail may be found by visiting http://itaccounts.iu.edu.
