At IU, how do I obtain access to ESRI's Virtual Campus courses?
Indiana University's ESRI higher education site license includes a subscription to ESRI's Virtual Campus courses for IU students, faculty, and staff on all IU campuses. This subscription includes free self-study Virtual Campus courses authored exclusively by ESRI, as well as instructor-led on-site courses that are available at a 40% discount. Contact the GIS Support Specialists for information on how to register for instructor-led courses.

These virtual campus courses are free, but require a code to unlock them. You can request up to five courses at a time by emailing one of the following contacts, using "Virtual Campus course" as your subject header.

Procedure to enroll and access your courses
