2. Click Create my first IU computing accounts.
3. Enter your last name, date of birth, and University ID number in the fields provided. Click Continue.
4. The AMS will display the Guidelines for Appropriate Usage, which are rules and policies for IT account use at IU. After you have read the Guidelines, enter Yes to agree to these policies, and then click Continue.

   Click Continue.

7. Enter the passphrase you want to use in both fields. For information on selecting a valid and secure passphrase, see Your IU passphrase.
8. Next, you will enroll in the Passphrase Self-Service Reset System. If you forget your passphrase, this system will allow you to reset it yourself without having to visit a Support Center walk-in location in person.

   Either select a question from the drop-down list, or enter your own question. Type and re-type the correct answer in the fields provided. Click Continue to enter further questions, to a maximum of ten.

   Once you have entered at least three questions and answers, you will have the option of clicking Done to complete your enrollment.

     https://itaccounts.iu.edu/

2. Select Manage my IU computing accounts.
3. If you're redirected to the Central Authentication Service page, enter your IU username and passphrase, and then click Login. (If you're creating accounts for your group, departmental, or student organization account, enter the username and passphrase associated with that account.)

   Otherwise, skip to the next step.

4. On the left, under "Select a service", click create more accounts.

   Note: You can select only one account at a time, but you can create more than one account during your session (see steps 7 and 8).

6. The request process for some computing systems will require you to enter additional information. If prompted to read, acknowledge, or provide additional information, follow the on-screen instructions, fill out all required fields, and then click Submit.

   Note: For example, if you're eligible for a ARCHIVED: Big Red II account, you will need to supply additional information, including an acknowledgment that you understand your responsibilities regarding the security of electronic protected health information (ePHI), and your agreement to cite your use of the system in any published papers.

7. After you've submitted your account request, you'll be redirected to a page listing your active computing accounts and the status for each. When "Current Status" has changed to Created, the corresponding account is ready for use.

   Note: Depending on the system, you may receive an email notification when your account is created. This message may also include important usage information, such as instructions for accessing the system, regularly scheduled maintenance windows, and links to support resources.

8. To create another account, on the left, under "Select a service", click create more accounts again, and then return to step 4.

   Otherwise, to end your session, close your browser.
