Orientation

Your IU computing account gives you access to everything you need as a student. Anything from your financial aid to your email to register for classes.

To create your IU computing account, you will need your student ID number. This number is listed on your acceptance letter. If you have misplaced your letter, you can look up your ID number. If you are unable to access your student ID number, please email the Office of Admissions. Please note that it can take up to 24 hours after creating your account before you can access everything.

Accessing a previous IU computing account

If you have previously created an IU computing account for IU Dual Credit, you will use the same account as an official IU Kokomo student.

If you’ve forgotten your passphrase, you can recover the passphrase for your account or reset your passphrase.

If you have any trouble creating your IU computing account or setting up your two-step login (Duo), please contact the IT Help Desk via phone at 765-455-9315.

Send a copy of your in progress unofficial high school transcript to iuk.admissions@iu.edu. We will request an official high school transcript after high school graduation. If you have dual credit from colleges or universities other than Indiana University, you will need to have an official college transcript sent through Parchment.

A student’s first year in college can set the tone for the rest of their time in school. At IU Kokomo, we make it our job to ensure our students have the best first year possible! Before classes start, students are required to attend an enrollment event to register for classes.

• Your Enrollment Event is your first on-campus step to starting as a new student at IU Kokomo. You can register for a morning or afternoon session on each event date. You may bring up to two guests. The enrollment event is required if you are new to college at IUK.
• Look for a welcome email from IU Kokomo Admissions to RSVP for your Enrollment.
• Here is an example of the agenda for each Enrollment Event.

Once you’ve registered for an Enrollment Event, you will be added to the Canvas Site. The modules in this site are organized to help you prepare for your enrollment event, set up necessary technology, and get ready for New Student Orientation in August.

Shake off the first day jitters at your orientation day! At your Enrollment Event, you will register to attend a New Student Orientation event. This event gives you a chance to explore campus, gain foundational technology skills, learn about important academic success resources, and make new friends! You’ll also learn about how you can take your learning outside of the classroom through the Kokomo Experience and You (KEY) program.

Orientation days for new Fall 2026 students will be held on August 11, 13, 18, and 20. You should arrive for check-in at 8:30 a.m. and plan to stay until 4 p.m. Lunch will be provided. Orientation day is a student-only event.
