Graduate Students

Each department has its own set of steps you will need to follow after you are admitted.

Using your Network ID, you can log into Atlas and use the Atlas checklists to guide you through important tasks you need to complete.

Look under the Requests section for the Graduate Application Checklist for steps to finalize your admission and obtain your immigration document. And the Pre-Arrival Checklist to help prepare you for coming to the U.S.

To create your computing account, you’ll need your university ID number. We’ll send you an email with your university ID within two weeks of submitting your application.

The computing account and email account you’ll create in this step are different than the account you created to apply to IU. You must create an IU computing account and an IU email account.

Your university ID

If you have ever previously been enrolled in or participated in a program at any IU campus and were given a 10-digit university ID number or IU username, you will use the same ID number or username and follow these steps to set up your IU computing account.

• If you have forgotten your IU username, contact the UITS Support Center.
• If you have forgotten your university ID number, please contact Student Central.

Setting up your IU computing account

1. Go to the Access Management System Starter Kit.
2. Read and agree to the Guidelines for Appropriate Usage, which are rules and policies for using IT accounts at IU.
3. Enroll in the Passphrase Self-Service Reset System. If you forget your passphrase, this tool will enable you to reset it yourself without having to visit a UITS Support Center walk-in location in person.
4. Save or record your account information in a secure place. You will need this information each time you log in to your IU computing account.
5. Exit. It may take up to two hours before you can log in to some services.
