Your IU email address
username@iu.edu email address, even if they already have another email address based on campus affiliation. If username@iu.edu is not your primary email address, messages sent to username@iu.edu will be automatically forwarded to your primary email address.
Each Indiana University email address is a combination of a Network ID username and one of nine IU-owned domains. Most people were provided a domain based on their campus affiliation when they created their first IU computing accounts. More recently, individuals have been given the option to choose the @iu.edu domain. Thus, some people have only an IU system-wide address, while others also have an email address based on a campus affiliation.

The email services available to you may vary based on your IU status. At all campuses except IPFW, undergraduate students create email accounts on the Gmail at IU system when they create their first accounts. Faculty and staff are hosted on the Exchange servers. Graduate students may create either a Gmail at IU account, an Exchange account, or both.
- If you are a student with an Imail or Gmail at IU account, your IU email address will match the one listed above, and your reply-to address will be
username@iu.edu). - Whether mail sent to you at the email address listed above actually ends up in your IU email account depends on the address you specify as your preferred email account; see Change your primary email address and set delivery for your email addresses.
Before setting your IU email address to forward to a non-IU service (e.g., personal Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo!), note:
- UITS cannot guarantee email delivery to non-IU accounts, delays in delivery can occur, and the UITS Support Center may not be able to help with some problems concerning non-IU accounts. If your email forwarding fails for any reason, you may miss important official communications sent to your IU address for which you are still responsible.
- Faculty, staff, residents, and students in HIPAA Affected Areas whose roles may require sharing protected health information (PHI) via email (e.g., Schools of Medicine, Dentistry, and Optometry) are not permitted to set up mail forwarding to outside accounts, as this could result in the violation of federal and state laws. For more, see HIPAA Privacy and Security Compliance.
