Manage your parent/guardian contact information

On this page:


Overview

Indiana University collects legal parent/guardian information for general information and for purposes of communication. Students may view and enter legal parent and legal guardian information via the Parent/Guardian Information tile in One.IU.

Note:
Legal parent/guardian information is the contact information (email and address) for a student's legal parent/guardian. It is different from third- party access, which allows a student to grant individuals access to view their specified student data, and emergency contacts, which authorizes IU officials to contact a student's designated emergency contact.
