About IU Guest accounts

For those with no formal relationship with Indiana University, Guest accounts provide limited access to certain needed online applications and services, for a specific purpose. The amount of access is determined by the particular application. Guest accounts may be removed if the account has not been used in more than a year, or upon request.

This type of Guest account is entirely separate from any other type of IU account.

To create a Guest account at Indiana University:

1. Go to Guest Accounts in One.IU, and click Start.

2. Click create IU Guest account.
3. Enter your email address in the appropriate field.
   Note:

   For all Guest accounts, the username is the full email address provided (e.g., foo@hotmail.com). Thus, to successfully authenticate to IU applications and services, enter the full address when prompted for a username.
4. Enter your name in the appropriate fields; enter and verify your IU Guest account password. Click Create Account.
5. The system will send an activation message to the email address you provided. To open the page that will activate your account, click the link in the message.
6. On the "Activate your IU Guest Account" page, enter your username (i.e., the entire email address you provided) and confirmation code.
7. Click Activate Account.
