IU offers a wide range of resources, offices and centers on campus to make sure that all students are set up for success during their time at the university. You’re probably most familiar with the Office of International Services as it works closely with international students, so from recreational facilities to health care providers, here are just a few of the other oncampus resources that you should be familiar with before you get to campus.
Student Health Center healthcenter.indiana.edu
If you get sick, need a prescription filled or have to go to physical therapy, the Student Health Center is there to help. Located at the corner of 10th Street and Eagleson Avenue in the heart of campus, the center provides various medical services to students and is an important resource to be familiar with.
A complete list of the services offered at the center and which medical insurances they accept can be found on its website.
Counseling and Psychological Services

Counseling and Psychological Services, located in the Student Health Center, offers mental health care and counseling to students from trained professionals. Each student that pays the student health fee receives two free counseling sessions, although the center will still bill your insurance for its share of the visit.
CAPS provides services in Spanish, Farsi, Mandarin, Hindi, Urdu and Dari. The center provides individual and group counseling options, ADHD screenings, services specifically for LGBTQ students and a crisis counselor that is available 24/7. A complete list of services can be found on the CAPS website.
Recreational Sports Facilities

IU has two recreational sports facilities and membership for students is included in their student activity fee. The Student Recreational Sports Center, located on Law Lane, and Bill Garret Fieldhouse, located on Seventh Street, are great resources for students to make the most of.
Between the two facilities, students can make use of an Olympic sized pool, basketball courts, indoor tracks, multipurpose gyms and more. Hours of operation and more details about the facilities can be found on the IU Recreational Sports website.

The Division of Student Affairs is a great general resource to make sure you are familiar with. The division is there to help students with navigating all aspects of college life, from offering advocates to help with academic issues, giving free legal advice to students and providing support for students with disabilities. The division also handles reports of harassment and discrimination.
The Division of Student Affairs oversees many different offices and departments on campus so they are a great starting place to look to when you need support in any aspect of student life. Even if they are not able to provide the service you are looking for, they can probably point you in the right direction.
Student Academic Center
The Student Academic Center provides resources to help students adjust to the college learning environment and assist in areas they are struggling with. The center provides academic coaching, peer-led study groups for particular classes and even offers courses for credit that help students improve their academic performance in areas of difficulty.
