During the snowy winter and rainy months, Bus Genius is your best friend. Bus genius is a guide to all on-campus bus transportation needs. You can see each bus route and where they are located. Bus Genius also provides exact time stamps of when the bus is expected to arrive at your designated stop.

Canvas is the campus-wide online learning management system that all professors will use. Here you will have access to assignments, exams, grades and other course materials. By having the app on your mobile device, you will get instant notifications straight to your phone.

Did you forget your Crimson Card? No problem at all when you have a Mobile ID! Mobile ID allows you to have an online version of your Crimson Card. Once you put your phone near the scanner, it will give you access to your desired location.

The IU Hoosiers app is a must-have for all your sports fan needs. Here you can monitor all your purchased tickets for men’s basketball and football games as well as check stats and scores from other IU teams!

GroupMe is home to every group chat you will need. Here you can join club, group project, residence, class, or even ticket selling chats on and off campus. It is the perfect way to get connected with your peers!

Most importantly, students should download IU Mobile. IU Mobile is the phone-friendly version of One.iu. Here students can access links to everything they need to navigate studying here at IU. Anyone can check a personalized schedule, grades, dining plan, and so much more.
