Who may have an IU computing account?

Use of Indiana University technology resources (e.g., computers, networks, phones) is restricted to purposes related to the university's mission of education, research, and public service. Access to IU computing resources is a privilege granted to all admitted IU students and current or retired university faculty and staff, in support of their studies, instruction, duties as employees, official business with the university, and other university-sanctioned activities. Spouses of deceased staff or faculty members may also request computing accounts; for more information, see How does the spouse of a deceased staff or faculty member get an IU network account?

Affiliate accounts are available for some eligible individuals who are affiliated with IU but cannot be processed through the usual administrative channels, such as the registrar's office (for students), the human resources office (for staff), or the Office of the Dean of the Faculties (for faculty). You should check with these offices or the personnel/HR coordinator in your area before seeking sponsorship as an Affiliate. For details about account eligibility, see the university Policy on Eligibility to Use Indiana University Information Technology Resources.

For more information about Affiliate accounts, see Information about sponsored computing accounts for IU affiliates.

IU departments and organizations may also have computing accounts; for more information, see At IU, how can my group or department request a computing account?
