Overview

Since configuring your device will require your IU passphrase, you must perform these steps yourself. Do not provide your passphrase to a sales or service representative. Doing so is a violation of your Acceptable Use Agreement; see Your responsibilities as a computer user at IU.

For help, contact your campus Support Center.

Email

Follow the appropriate instructions to read your IU email on your mobile device.

Wireless on campus

Note:

eduroam is replacing IU Secure as the default wireless network for students, faculty, staff, and affiliates on all IU campuses. As of May 26, 2021, IU Secure is no longer available in the residence halls, and will fully retire in the near future. All new wireless connections should use eduroam; see Connect to eduroam.

Security

Because your device will have access to personal information, you should make an effort to secure it and the data it holds. If your device will be accessing IU institutional data, proper security is necessary. For guidelines and detailed instructions, see Protect data on your mobile device.
