Outlook Web Access

A simple way to access your IU Exchange account from home is to use the Microsoft Outlook Web Access (OWA) interface. You can access this interface using your web browser, and you are not required to have Outlook installed on your computer.

To access your IU Bloomington or IUPUI Exchange account via OWA, visit:
