Dear Students and Family Members: Welcome to Indiana University Bloomington! We are so glad you’re here for what will be your first real taste of life as a member of the IU family. The New Student Orientation program will help you learn what being an IU student is all about and will expose you to some of the many resources our university offers. This Resource Guide was created to serve as a companion to the New Student Orientation programs for both freshmen and transfer students and their parent/family guests. Please keep it with you throughout your program, as presenters may refer to this guide—you’ll want to be prepared to follow along. The guide also includes important dates and a campus map. Whether you start your IU career in the fall or in the spring, this guide will be a helpful reference throughout the year. You’ll find that it details many of the opportunities, support systems, and services available to you and your family. We hope you enjoy your orientation program and find it to be a beneficial springboard to your Indiana University experience. Be sure to attend all sessions, ask a lot of questions, and meet other new members of the IU family. If you need any assistance or have questions during the program, please be sure you let us know—we’re here to help you. Again, welcome to Indiana University! Office

THE INDIANA PROMISE Indiana University is a community built on the foundations of academic excellence, personal development, and social responsibility. The expectations of this community include: Engaging in rigorous intellectual inquiry and artistic creativity, recognizing each individual’s accountability for his or her own behavior, and appreciating the contributions made by all community members. The Indiana Promise expresses the student’s commitment to these values and acknowledges the importance of the student’s active participation in the IU experience. This promise is made by students both to Indiana University and to themselves.

I PROMISE THAT: I will be ethical in my academic work. I will take personal responsibility for what I say and what I do. I will respect the dignity of others, treating them with civility and understanding.

Getting Started:

After you receive your housing assignment and roommate information, contact your roommate in advance to introduce yourself and discuss what you’re each bringing for your room to avoid doubling up on things like TVs, stereos, and other appliances.

Explore the University Information Technology Services website and run the Get Connected software on your computer before arriving on campus. Get Connected will still need to be run once you get here, but it will significantly reduce the time needed to run the on-campus process if you’ve already run it once before arriving.

Things to do before you come to IU Bloomington n

Review the information you received at orientation, this Resource Guide, and other mailings from the university. Bring these materials with you to campus!

Herman B Wells

erman B Wells became Indiana University’s 11th president in 1938 and he would continue to serve the university in that position for the next 25 years. After retiring as president in 1962, he accepted a lifetime appointment as chancellor, which he held until his death in 2000. During his tenure, his firm belief in the ideals of democracy and his unique and effective leadership style left a lasting impression on the Bloomington campus, one that can still be felt today.

31,000 in 1962. In addition, Wells was a strong advocate for both civil rights and academic freedom, as well as the retaining of trees and green space throughout the campus.

Considered by many to be an educational visionary, Wells worked to elevate the university’s standing as a leading public research institution, as well as a leader in the arts and international studies. Wells also oversaw the largest increase in the student population in the history of the university, nearly tripling the student body from 11,000 students statewide in 1938 to

Special thanks to the IU Factbook, the Memorial Resolution of the Bloomington Faculty Council (by

Wells was frequently seen walking around campus, engaging students in conversations and involving himself in student activities. Additionally, while president, Wells personally read and signed every diploma issued by the university; a total of 62,621. His passion for the people he interacted with and his love for Indiana University was one of his greatest legacies and created the culture and spirit of the university that is still felt on campus today. In Being Lucky, Wells wrote that “with the right spirit, the right atmosphere, the right ambience, nearly all things become possible in the learning process, which is the central purpose of a university.” This spirit and legacy is often referred to as the “The Wells Touch,” and it continues to have a positive impact on students’ IU experience today. A picture of his statue in the Old Crescent is located on the front cover of this guide.

ACADEMIC LIFE

Inside this section, you will find many useful academic resources. For even more resources and other valuable information, be sure to check out the A-Z Big List at iub.edu/biglist/index.shtml.

Academic Advising

One thing all the best IU Bloomington students have in common is that they meet regularly with academic advisors. Academic advisors help you to develop and continuously refine your educational and academic plans, explore and confirm your academic and career interests, discover and take full advantage of every opportunity IU has to offer, plan ahead for future terms and classes, and stay on track and connected with your academic goals. A small percentage of new students are admitted directly into a particular school such as the Jacobs School of Music or the Kelley School of Business and will meet with advisors specific to those programs. The majority of new students at IU, though, begin in the University Division (UD) until they, too, apply and are admitted into their intended school. All new students will meet one-on-one with an academic advisor during New Student Orientation.

University Division Academic Advising Maxwell Hall 101 (Main Office) Phone: (812) 855-6768 Email: udivhelp@indiana.edu Web: ud.iub.edu

During New Student Orientation, UD academic advisors will meet with you individually to discuss your interests, talents, skills, and your academic explorations and intentions, in order to develop with you an Enrollment Plan designed to help you specifically plan your first-term course registration. (Please note: Due to space limitations and reasons of privacy, parents, family, and friends do not attend individual advising sessions with you.) It’s important to remember that although advisors can assist you in finding answers to curricular and procedural questions, developing academic plans, and negotiating the university environment, academic advising is a collaborative process. You are responsible for making final decisions. You’re also expected to prepare for advising conferences and take control of your own academic progress by reading the University Division website and becoming familiar with school bulletins, electronic resources, university procedures, and deadlines. Every UD student is assigned to a specific academic advisor, in order to have a primary contact person. In addition, UD Academic Advising offers help

and assistance by phone, email, and walk-in hours. UD advising offices are conveniently located in most residence halls (for new freshmen), and many offer evening hours. Nonfreshmen students will meet with academic advisors in UD’s main advising office in Maxwell Hall.

Exploratory Student Resources (ESR)

The ESR program supports UD Academic Advising by helping exploratory students make good decisions. Students are also encouraged to add breadth to their degrees by exploring second majors, minors, certificates, overseas study, and internships. Your academic advisor and ESR will show you how to make a well-informed decision about your major by following a step-by-step exploration and decision-making process using all the academic and career resources available to you at IU. Getting started in major exploration is easy. Meet with your UD academic advisor and visit the Explore Majors at IU website at www.exploremajors.indiana.edu to search for majors by your interests. You may also want to attend a Choosing Your Major Workshop conducted by ESR.

“Explore Your Options” Panel Series

University Division offers “Explore Your Options,” a series featuring faculty and student perspectives on academic options and special opportunities available to undergraduates at IU Bloomington. “Explore Your Options” events are opportunities to learn about the range and diversity of the academic landscape at IU Bloomington from an insider’s point of view and to meet with members of the university’s world-class faculty outside the classroom. The series supports students in making thoughtful and informed choices as they build and refine their academic plans. All “Explore Your Options” events are free and all students are encouraged to attend. Check the University Division website (www.ud.iub.edu) for the current “Explore Your Options” calendar.

See Your Academic Advisor Right Away By Frank Reiter Director of Academic Advising, University Division You are about to make one of the most exciting transitions of your adult life—the transition to IU Bloomington. Your academic advisor is ready and waiting to help you with this transition. Why should you see your academic advisor right away? n Because IU feels so big n Because IU has so many options n Because IU has many rules and requirements n Because sometimes you just don’t know whom to ask n Because it’s always good to have someone on your side rooting for you n Because it’s always nice to sit and talk to a real person who is happy to make time for you For most students, UD is their initial academic “home” at IU Bloomington. We suggest that your advisor be one of the first people you think of when you have a question or problem. The main service we offer you is academic advising. And for most of you, your advisor will be right there where you live. The University Division has advising offices located across campus inside the residence centers. Your advisor can help you: Explore majors to identify those of most interest to you n Learn about requirements for chosen or potential major(s) and minor(s) n Find courses related to your interests n Plan your academic program for each semester n Review your grades and identify course-related problems n Find tutoring and other appropriate academic support services as needed n Develop time-management and study skills n Explore possibilities for participation in special programs, such as Overseas Study n Obtain information about other campus student service units n

We’ll assist you in focusing on your academics, your plans, and your goals. Staying in regular contact with your advisor—and participating actively in the advising process—will help you meet important deadlines and make good decisions about your academic career.

The Health Professions and Prelaw Center (HPPLC) provides academic advising and other programs and services for students who are interested in pursuing careers in law, medicine, and other health professions. Services include: n Academic advising by specialists in the health and law fields n Opportunities for students to meet individually with visiting admissions officials from professional schools across the country n Admission statistics and requirements for medical schools, law schools, and health professions programs n LSAT and MCAT preparation courses and materials, and actual exams for student use n Personal guidance at every step of the complex admissions process n Information about special opportunities for minorities and disadvantaged students n Recommendation letter collection and dissemination n Two major annual events—Law Day and the Health Programs Fair—that provide students the opportunity to meet directly with representatives of professional schools and get information about their programs n Information on volunteer opportunities and summer experiences for health careers n Regular email notification about programs, speakers, and other events relevant to student interests

HINTS FROM CAREER SERVICES Be open-minded You may already have a clear idea of what you want to be and what you want to do when you graduate—but that idea may evolve or change entirely over your college career. Career development starts with having a better understanding of yourself, your skills, and your interests. That’s what college is all about. Know yourself There’s a course at IU Bloomington specifically designed to help students explore their options. In ASCS Q294 Basic Career Development, you’ll explore majors and careers to help you figure out what’s a good fit for your interests, values, and skills. Explore Don’t be afraid to take a new class or try something outside your intended major just because it sounds like fun—this is one of the best times to have new experiences and try new things. Experience Experiencing a specific work environment is beneficial to long-term career planning. Internships are a great tool to help you learn about yourself and the world of work. Seventy percent of graduating seniors have completed two or more internships. Start researching internship opportunities now that you can pursue during the summer after your first year at IU Bloomington. Create a support system To be successful, you need a team of support, and you should feel comfortable asking them lots of questions. Your academic advisor, professors, and career services staff are on your team.

YOUR SYLLABUS

A typical syllabus might be structured like:

From Professor Rubinstein: What Is a Syllabus?

IU101: Introduction to IU Fall 2011 Monday, Wednesday, Friday 1:25 p.m.–2:15 p.m.

The syllabus is like the Facebook page for a course, because the syllabus tells you everything that the course wants you to know about it. Although the syllabus is probably the shortest document you will read in the whole course, it is the most valuable, because it boldly shows you how to survive and triumph during the semester. When are the tests? What should I be reading (and when)? Who is my professor, where is my professor, how can I reach my professor? What’s the grading policy? If I get sick, will I be counted “absent”? When are the assignments due? What are the rules? All of these questions (and more) get no-nonsense, straightforward answers. Beyond these basics, the syllabus is a backstage pass that shows why the subject material is attractive and why the course is important. You see the professor’s teaching philosophy, and you are invited to share the professor’s passion about the materials. The syllabus recruits you on a semester-long adventure in learning. The best syllabi, the best courses, and the best students are all alike because they start hopefully—and then, they go forward to achieve great goals. David Rubinstein is an award-winning professor of strategic management in the IU Kelley School of Business.

Tips for reading your syllabus: 1. Note the instructor’s office hours and location. These hours are not the only time the instructor will be in his or her office, but it is the time devoted solely to meeting with students. If you have other classes scheduled during your instructor’s office hours, ask to schedule an alternate appointment. 2. Note the due date for all major assignments and exams. If you have a conflict with any of the dates, including religious holidays, see the instructor early in the semester to discuss your options. Also, consider when major projects and assignments fall relative to your other courses. Planning ahead will help ensure your assignments are completed on time. 3. Note the instructor’s policies regarding absences, tardiness, and participation. 4. Note the schedule of assigned reading. When a reading is assigned, it should be completed before the lecture that day. The lecture or course activities are more engaging when you have done the assigned reading. 5. Refer back to the syllabus often during the semester. At a minimum, consult the syllabus weekly for readings. Double check the syllabus before submitting each paper or project to make sure you have met the deadline, style, length, and other requirements. If any are unclear, speak to the instructor before the assignment is due. 6. Honor. The Indiana Promise isn’t a random bunch of words; it defines what we stand up for. Every syllabus, in its own way, inspires us to be who we are, who we always want to be, and describes what we stand up for: THIS COURSE UPHOLDS ALL OF THE PRINCIPLES OF THE INDIANA PROMISE, AND SO DO YOU.

Instructor: IU Professor professor@indiana.edu Office: Indiana Memorial Union Phone: 855-0000 Office Hours: Wednesday, 3–5 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m.–12 p.m.

Course Objectives The course objectives outline what you will learn in the course. Required Reading and Materials A list of textbooks and other materials needed to complete assigned reading and assignments will be included in the syllabus. Expectations and Grading Course policies related to attendance, participation, and grading will be noted in the syllabus. Assignments Instructions and grading criteria for each paper, project, presentation, and assignment will be stated in the syllabus. Course Schedule The course schedule lists the topic of each class period, along with the due date of every assignment and exam.

PROFESSOR RUESINK’S

“RELIABLE RULES” FOR SUCCESS For many years, I have been teaching both introductory and advanced science courses. Every large class includes some students whose background has not prepared them adequately for the rigor and focus of college biology courses. One resource that I have developed with the assistance of some junior and senior students helps new students create better study and learning skills: the “Reliable Rules.” This list will help you develop the aptitudes to pass my courses and other courses at IU.

RUESINK’S RELIABLE RULES 1. Go to class regularly, sit up front, and get to know the instructor.

2. Read pertinent material before going to class. 3. Take abundant lecture notes, leaving half the space on the page blank. 4. After class, go to your textbook and other course materials, and write comments in the margins as you study the topics just covered in lecture. Fill the remaining half of the space in your lecture notes with information from the textbook. 5. Review your notes from earlier parts of the course regularly, writing down the connections that you notice between various parts and adding more information whenever possible. 6. Form learning groups of three to five people, meet regularly, and use your interactions with the group to complete your notes. 7. Do all the course assignments. 8. Check exams from previous semesters to get ideas about the kind of questions to expect. Write out actual answers to short-answer and essay questions that you expect to appear on exams. Ask a friend to critique your answers. 9. Eat well and get ample sleep before each exam. 10. Ask questions of the teaching staff, and go to office hours.

WHAT RULES WOULD YOU ADD TO THIS LIST? 11. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ 12. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Most freshmen step up the intensity of their studying a bit (some, a lot!) when they move from high school to college. Serious attention to study skills and to time management can usually yield better grades for less work. Best of all, such effort can result in well-developed thinking skills and in superior long-term retention of the course material. You will find that there will be time left for extracurricular athletic, musical, and artistic activities. I wish you lots of academic success at IU and trust that you will have a rich social and cultural life as well. Recognized with the James P. Holland Award for Exemplary Teaching and Service to Students in 2005 and with the SAA Student Choice Award in 2010, Professor Albert Ruesink received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Michigan in 1962 and his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1966. Following postdoctoral work in Switzerland, Professor Ruesink joined the faculty at IU Bloomington in 1967. As a professor of biology, he teaches introductory courses for biology majors and future elementary teachers as well as upper-level cell biology and plant physiology courses. His research interests focus on plant cell growth and development.

PARENT AND FAMILY CONNECTIONS

Transitioning to IU Bloomington can be as challenging for parents and family members as it is for new students. FYE is here to help ease that process with many valuable resources for parents and family members throughout this section.

Family Services and Support

We understand that family members go through their own adjustment when a student leaves home for college. To make the transition easier, IU has several services and programs specifically for families. As parents and family of IU Bloomington students, you represent many experiences. Some of you are doing this for the first time, while others have done this once or even many times before. In all situations, there are as many ranges of confidence, excitement, and nervousness as there are students. We plan our parent and family programs to address as many of the questions and issues as we can to help all experiences. We invite you to participate fully in the New Student Orientation program whether or not you’ve done this before. With all that IU Bloomington has to offer, it’s a safe bet you’ll discover something new and make connections that will be helpful to you as you prepare for this experience. We also invite you to periodically check out our parent resources online at fye.indiana.edu throughout the year—our hope is that we can help you be a great resource for your student, just as we hope to be. Our goal is simple—we want to help your student succeed.

IU Alumni Association (IUAA) Virgil T. DeVault Alumni Center 1000 E. 17th Street Phone: (800) 824-3044 Email: iualumni@indiana.edu Web: www.alumni.indiana.edu

Sponsored jointly by the Division of Student Affairs, the IU Foundation, and the IU Alumni Association, the Parents Association serves as a bridge between parents and students, helping connect parents with their students’ college experience. The association’s main initiatives include Freshman Family Weekend (September 16-18) and Parents Weekend (October 1-2). Feel free to send any questions you may have to mykidis@indiana.edu and Parents Association contacts will help connect you with those who can answer them. Visit the website for more information for parents and to view the most recent issues of Campus Link, a newsletter for parents, which is published once a semester.

Parents Fund

Phone: (800) 558-8311 Web: iufoundation.iu.edu/giving/iuf-programs.html The IU Bloomington Parents Fund was developed by an IU parent to support the principles of “long-distance parenting.” Financial contributions to the Parents Fund support programs and services identified by the IU Bloomington dean of students as essential to student welfare.

Recognizing that tuition and state appropriations are not enough to cover college expenses, the parents of undergraduate students have generously responded to the need for additional funds. Since its inception, the Parents Fund has raised over $6 million from proud parents of IU Bloomington students. The Parents Fund provides the financial support that allows the dean of students—with input from current IU Bloomington parents—to provide funding for student programs and services that help make the IU Bloomington experience special for students.

Parent/Guardian Access to Student Information

Parents make many sacrifices to send their children to IU Bloomington, but tuition covers only a portion of the total costs. Private support, such as financial contributions to the Parents Fund, helps fund programs that address student welfare, campus safety, and other targeted areas that might not exist otherwise. For more information on supporting the IU Parents Fund, contact Dave Spencer, director of parent and special giving programs, at (800) 558-8311 or visit iufoundation.iu.edu/giving/iuf-programs.html.

Parents will need the student’s 10-digit university ID as well as a username and passphrase created by the student for the parent. The information available is protected by the Federal Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974. When your student releases this information to you in this manner, this release does not extend to other parties and is limited to just the information available. Even if your student creates access for you to view this information via OneStart, it does not allow the university to share this information by any other method, such as phone, email, fax, or an in-person visit.

Office of First Year Experience (FYE) Programs Information for Parents

Our staff will be working to help your student get and stay connected to the resources and support of Indiana University. Through our website, students can connect with resources, news, and events and check their personalized FY(Me) pages. We will also send students monthly electronic newsletters and mid-month updates, and work to engage them in our FYE programs.

Just for Parents

The college years will be some of the most exciting years in your child’s life—but they can be very stressful too. The challenges imposed by increased responsibilities, changes in class structure, and new surroundings can be stimulating for some and overwhelming for others. The good news is that IU

Stay Connected During your student’s first semester at IU, be sure to visit for special events and try to see campus through his or her eyes. While you’re in Bloomington, take a campus tour and check out your son or daughter’s classroom buildings and favorite hangouts. As the semester continues, be sure to talk about academic progress to help prevent any end-of-semester surprises. Other ways to stay in touch: n

Make a photo collage of favorite people and places from home to decorate your student’s residence hall room Call, email, and text each week n Send care packages during midterms and finals n

When you talk to or email your son or daughter, share stories about what’s going on at home, but also be sure to ask questions. Get to know the names of your student’s friends, professors, and classes, and show that you care by asking about them. Get to know IU’s resources and staff members so you can help out when necessary—but don’t try to solve your son or daughter’s problems. If issues arise with a roommate or professor, encourage your student to talk it out or seek assistance from the appropriate university staff. The first year of college is a great time to establish independence, and difficult experiences can contribute to personal growth even more than positive ones. Support. Don’t rescue.

has an amazing array of support services, resources, staff, and faculty that are here to help. Encourage your student to ask questions, to speak up when he or she needs assistance, and to get to know new people. There’s not a problem or concern for which IU doesn’t have someone in place to listen and help. While your student adjusts to college life, family members are going through a similar adjustment period back home. Whether this is your first child to go to college or you’ve been through this before, you may experience conflicting emotions ranging from pride and excitement to reluctance and apprehension. Following are some thoughts and suggestions shared by other parents of new IU students. n n

“Something I wish I’d done better is to have helped my kids budget their money. They’re learning, but the hard way.” “I simply find that I need to remind myself that my kids are really adults. They know the values I hold dear. They hold many of the same. When we disagree, I have to let go and trust that they will work out their issues. I can’t be ever-present and really don’t want to be.” “My suggestion is to balance college costs up front. Have a clear understanding of what the spending limits are. Don’t buy into the idea that college is different from home. Pizza, movies, etc., cost the same or maybe a little more at school.” “It’s hard when you realize you don’t have automatic access to information like you did when your student was under 18 and in high school. Academic records, discipline records, and the like aren’t accessible like they used to be. Keeping communication open between our student and us became all the more important.” “Don’t expect the same child that you took to school to come home at break. You will love some of the changes and you will wrinkle your brow at others.” “Encourage your child to do something he or she really enjoys (and might be good at) and to try something he or she might never have a chance to do again, especially multicultural experiences.” “I’ve found that both my son and daughter appreciate regular contact. I phone them, visit at least once each semester, and send email notes and greeting cards (with a check every now and then). They, in turn, have asked for my input when problems have arisen in their personal, financial, or academic lives.”

“Be aware that your child is changing. This is a developmental stage. Just like when they were little, they may (and I believe most often do) challenge, explore, question, experiment, and, at some point, express their doubts. This is natural. Don’t get worried.” n “I learned that Indiana University has something for everyone—academics, social opportunities, special-interest groups, clubs, and much more. But I also found that a student must be self-motivated to explore all of these possibilities.” n “Ask lots of open questions to encourage your student to talk. Show them that you’re interested, but not ‘checking up’ on them. You’ll find that soon they will be the ones initiating the conversation.” n “Help your student remember that this is no longer high school. He or she has to take responsibility, meaning go to class, read ahead, talk to the professors, etc. Sometimes the self-discipline needed in college can be a surprise even to the best students.”

“We’ve Been Through This Before”: For Our Returning Parents You’ve already had the experience of sending a child off to college. It’s a good reminder to yourself that, for your son or daughter, this is new, exciting, and maybe even a little scary. Your new student has probably formed opinions about college based on the experiences of his or her older siblings. It’s important that he or she have the space to carve out a unique experience at IU and the opportunity to do things that fit for him or her. We’ve learned from other students with older siblings that your excitement and interest goes a long way in helping them feel supported and confident. Whether your student is your second child to go to college or your sixth, you can continue to be a wonderful source of guidance and inspiration. Encourage your newest Hoosier to explore, to check out new experiences, and to get engaged in the campus in his or her own way.

Indiana Memorial Union 900 E. Seventh Street Web: www.imu.indiana.edu

In 1909, John Whittenberger, an IU student, founded the Indiana Union for IU students who desired greater collegiality and commonality among the student body. In 1932, the first phase of what is now the Indiana Memorial Union building was opened. From the beginning, the Indiana Memorial Union (IMU) and Union Board’s primary purpose has been to be the gathering place for the campus. The IMU is the center for student life and student activities. Students pay an activity fee that provides services and space to students and student organizations at little or no cost. Examples of current IMU support for students include: n Free meeting room usage to registered student organizations n Office space to student organizations in the Student Activities Tower at the rate of $1 per square foot n Hosting hundreds of student internships and jobs n Providing space for thousands of programs and student-initiated experiences n The IMU Board of Directors (Union Board) provides hundreds of events for the student body during the year. The board is composed of 20 voting members, of whom 16 are students, and is led by a student president.

Financial Aid Information

Most new students have already received their financial aid award notifications for the 2011–12 academic year. Generally, these award notifications consist of a combination of gift dollars (scholarships and grants), loans, and work opportunities. Some scholarships are awarded by IU organizations outside the Office of Student Financial Assistance, including the Hutton Honors College, the Jacobs School of Music, the College of Arts and Sciences, and the Kelley School of Business. Visit www.scholarships.indiana.edu for more information. Financial aid provided by IU—including scholarships, grants, and loans—is disbursed on a term-by-term basis. For example, if you receive a scholarship from the university in the amount of $4,000 for the academic year, your bursar account will be credited with $2,000 each term. Please note that scholarships awarded by private organizations are sometimes credited to your bursar account in one lump sum for the year. Financial aid is credited directly to your bursar account and is used to pay charges on your account at the time aid is applied. Awards are shown as “anticipated financial aid” on your bursar account statement and are subtracted from the total amount due. This allows you to see a net amount that must be paid by the due date. If the amount of financial assistance received is in excess of the charges on your bursar account, the result is a credit balance, and a refund will be issued. If you are eligible for the Federal Work-Study Program, your award notification will list the total amount you can earn. You can obtain a job where you will receive a paycheck for hours worked. Paychecks for work-study jobs

are generated directly from the campus payroll department. The Career Development Center hosts a job fair in August to assist students in locating work-study employment. Many employment opportunities also exist for students who do not qualify for work-study. Studies have shown that students who work a few hours per week often perform better academically than students who do not work. IU participates in the Federal Direct Stafford Loan Program for federal student loans and the Federal Direct Parent PLUS program for federal parent loans. The Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loan can cover the difference between the cost of attendance and the aid received. Families must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to take advantage of the Stafford Loan Program before applying for the Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loan. The Office of Student Financial Assistance provides additional information about student loans at www.indiana.edu/~sfa, which also contains general information on financial aid and a comprehensive listing of aid resources available to IU students. Another excellent website for information about federal financial aid is www.finaid.org. It’s important to remember that you must apply for financial assistance each year. Early March is the priority date for completing the FAFSA. If your financial circumstances change during the year, you should contact the Office of Student Financial Assistance for more information.

Financial Aid Glossary

These words and phrases are regularly used by financial aid administrators. n Budget: An estimate made by the Office of Student Financial Assistance of a student’s educational costs (also called “cost of attendance”). n Cost of Attendance: A student’s tuition, housing, and other estimated costs of attending IU for the school year (also called “budget”). n Dependent Student: An undergraduate student who is not yet 24 years old and has no dependents, is not a veteran, and is not married. n Parent PLUS Loan: A loan for the parents of dependent students. n Private Student Loan: A loan from a banking organization that covers costs that are not met through traditional financial aid sources. These loans require a separate application, and the applicant must pass a

n n

credit check. Some students may need a co-signer. The interest rate is generally a bit higher for these loans than for Stafford Loans. Promissory Note: The legal document a borrower must sign to obtain a loan. By signing, the borrower agrees to repay the loan as described in the promissory note. Student Aid Report (SAR): A document sent to a student from the federal processor that contains information reported on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Students can use this document to correct erroneous information. Subsidized Stafford Loan: A need-based loan for students; no interest is charged until the student enters repayment. Unsubsidized Stafford Loan: A loan for students that isn’t need based, although the student must have the FAFSA on file to obtain the loan. Interest is accrued from the time the loan is disbursed. Verification: A quality-improvement process that requires some students to verify information they provided on the FAFSA. All aid is on hold until this is done.

Student as Responsible Party

Indiana University holds students responsible for ensuring that all financial debts are paid on time (regardless of the source of payment), adhering to published financial policies, and communicating with internal departments as appropriate. Students are the account holders for bursar account information and will be sent electronic communications when action is required related to billing, payment, refund processing, and other issues. Parents often assist

their students in learning to handle financial situations, but students must remain involved to keep the billing and payment process as straightforward as possible.

Paying the Bills

IU’s major student billing operations are centrally administered through the Office of the Bursar. Amounts owed to various university units, such as Residential Programs and Services (room and meal charges), the IU Health Center, and the IU Libraries, are added together to represent one total amount due on your student account. Each month, electronic statements (e-bills) are generated to detail any new activity or as a reminder of any unpaid balance on a bursar account, similar to billings from credit card companies. Statements are available to students online and students are sent notification to their IU email address. (There are no paper bills generated while you are at IU!) New charges on a bill are typically due on the 10th of the following month. Past due balances must be paid immediately and are subject to late payment fees. You can have your parents assist you in the payment process by creating an Authorized Payer login. This will allow parents access to your bursar account, e-bills, and electronic payment processing through the QuikPAY® web application.

Tuition and Fees

After your registration is complete, charges will be assessed to your bursar account. An e-bill will be generated that reflects the costs for term course fees, mandatory fees, and any optional fees selected at registration, plus any other amounts owed to IU. Credit hour fees (tuition) are assessed based on the student’s residence classification, school, and class standing. Students registering during New Student Orientation through mid-July will be sent an email notification of bill availability in late July, and payment will be due on August 10. Fee payment for students registering after July 23 and through August 20 will be due on September 10. All fees are subject to change without notice by action of the Trustees of Indiana University. The rates for the 2011-12 academic year are publicized once approved. A complete list of fees is maintained on the Office of the Bursar’s website at bursar.indiana.edu in the “Tuition & Fee Rates” section.

Electronic Statement Access and Web Payment Option

Indiana University students can pay bursar bills online from a checking or savings account using a web-based application called QuikPAY. In addition to making payments, students can: n View an online statement history and print e-bills as needed n Authorize other individuals, such as parents or guardians, to view a bill and pay all or part of the balance due n Manage email notifications for new bills, payment confirmations, etc. Students: Start by going to onestart.iu.edu, and log in using your username and passphrase. Choose Services>Student Self-Service>Student Information Snapshot>View/Pay Bursar Bill. Set up access for your parents or others to pay your bills using the “Authorized Payer” link on the QuikPAY menu. Do NOT simply share your own IU login information with your parents! Parents: After your student creates your account access, sign into QuikPAY and begin managing your online access in a secure and confidential environment. Go to onestart.iu.edu. Select “Authorized Payer Access” under the QuikPAY section on the OneStart login page to enter QuikPAY using the login name and passphrase provided by your student.

Direct Deposit of Bursar Refunds

IU offers direct deposit of bursar refunds for students who have a credit balance on their student accounts. Bursar refunds are deposited automatically into your checking or savings account. IU expects you to sign up for direct deposit, which is also the fastest and most secure means of receiving bursar refunds. To sign up for direct deposit, log into OneStart (onestart.iu.edu). Choose Services>Student Self-Service>Services &

Information>Financial>Direct Deposit Sign Up. Then follow the step-by-step instructions. n n

Allow one business day for your sign-up transaction to be processed. You will be sent a confirmation email. If you change accounts or banks, return to OneStart and make the changes online. Again, allow one business day for your request to be processed.

When a refund is generated: You will be sent an email from IU confirming the amount of the refund and the date it was transmitted to your bank. Your bank will then process the deposit in accordance with the bank’s schedule. n You should confirm with your bank that the refund has been deposited before writing checks or drafting funds. n If your bank returns your deposit indicating a problem with the account, the Office of the Bursar will review the issue and notify you. (This most frequently occurs when incorrect account information is entered during the sign-up process.) n

NOTE: Refunds of remaining PLUS Loan proceeds are sent directly to the parent borrower via U.S. mail. All other credit balances are refunded directly to the student.

TO DO LIST: During Orientation, Summer 2011, or immediately following Orientation

CREATE AN AUTHORIZED PAYER IN QUIKPAY

You can create bursar account access for your parents (and others) in QuikPAY. This access allows the “Authorized Payer” to view current account activity, view statement history, make electronic payments, and be sent email notifications of new bills. You must create access for authorized payers before the authorized payer will be able to access your bursar information in QuikPAY. Here’s how: n n n n n n n

Frequently Asked Questions

When will I know the rates for the upcoming academic year?

The Office of the Bursar website (bursar.indiana.edu) lists all approved fees as well as other important bursar information. The fees are posted on the web once approved by the Board of Trustees in May or June.

n n

How do I pay my bill? n n

n n

Use QuikPAY and make electronic payments online. Mail your payment by check or money order to the address noted on your account statement, making sure to include the bottom portion of the Printable Statement (PDF) you print from QuikPAY. (Scholarships you receive from a non-IU source and 529 Plan payments should be mailed directly to the Office of the Bursar.) Do not send any overnight correspondence to the P.O. Box address in Indianapolis. If you must send overnight mail, please mail directly to the Office of the Bursar’s Bloomington address. Deliver your payment (if paying by check or money order) to the drop box located outside of the Office of the Bursar in Franklin Hall 011. Bring your cash or debit card payment to the teller window inside the main doors of Franklin Hall 011 between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

NOTE: Make all checks payable to Indiana University and include your name and 10-digit university identification number on the front of each check.

Are there other payment options?

The Personal Deferment Option allows you to pay fees in up to four installments during the term for a deferment service charge. Your minimum payment amount will be indicated on your bursar bill and is due on or before the due date noted on your bill. (Any minimum payment received after the due date may prevent your participation in the plan.) The initial bill for Fall 2011 (due August 10) will calculate the minimum payment as 25 percent of the charges due for the term, plus 100 percent of any prior term charges. Subsequent bills will calculate the minimum payment as 67 percent, and 50 percent of the term charges due, plus 100 percent of past due charges. The balance of the account will be due on the following monthly bill. Specific instructions for using the Personal Deferment Option will be available at the time of billing.

Access OneStart at onestart.iu.edu. Log in using your username and passphrase. Select the “Services” tab, and then select the “Student Self-Service” link at the top of the main menu. Click “View/Pay Bursar Bill” under the “Student Information Snapshot” section. Click “Authorize Payers” in the QuikPAY menu on the left of the screen. Click the “Add New” box to add a new payer. Enter the appropriate information in the boxes when the “Add Authorized Payer” page comes up. The login name and passphrase fields are case sensitive; we recommend using all uppercase or all lowercase characters. Click “Add” after you have entered the information. This new payer will appear on the “Authorized Payer” screen. Provide the login name and passphrase to the payer so he/she can use this unique login information to access your account.

Once the authorized payer access is created, that person will be sent an email with a link to access the system. The authorized payer will then be required to change the passphrase and create a permanent passphrase.

PARENTS ACCESSING QUIKPAY

After your student has created authorized payer access for you: Access OneStart at onestart.iu.edu. Select “Authorized Payer Access” under the QuikPAY section on the OneStart login page. n Log into QuikPAY using your QuikPAY login name and passphrase. n n

NOTE: The first time you log into QuikPAY, you’ll be required to change the passphrase and create a permanent passphrase of your choosing. The login and passphrase are case-sensitive. We recommend using either all uppercase or all lowercase characters.

Is there a cost involved in using the Personal Deferment Option?

A $30 service charge is assessed to students who elect to use the Personal Deferment Option for the initial term billing (25 percent due August 10). An additional $15 is assessed for each month during the term you choose to continue using the deferment option.

What if someone else wants to pay my bills?

If your parents, or some other party, wish to pay the charges appearing on your account, you may authorize them to see account statements and make electronic payments using QuikPAY. An Authorized Payer can also be sent email notifications indicating that new statements are available so you don’t have to remember to send a copy of the bill! Parents and other parties may also send check or money order payments by mail using the address noted on your bursar account statement in QuikPAY.

IMPORTANT IU BURSAR ACCOUNT POLICY Email as official means of communication Indiana University reserves the right to send official communications to students by email with the full expectation that students will read these messages in a timely fashion. Official university email accounts are available for all registered students. Official university communications will be sent to students’ official university email addresses. Students are expected to check their email on a frequent and consistent basis in order to stay current with university-related communications. Students who choose to have their email forwarded from their official university email address to a private address do so at their own risk. The Office of the Bursar sends official information and communications via email, including monthly bursar bill notifications. It is the student’s responsibility to respond as appropriate. Failure to receive or respond to electronic communications will not be accepted as a reason for missing payment or other deadlines.

How do I create an authorized payer account in QuikPAY?

Follow the steps noted in the section “Create an Authorized Payer” on page 24 or review instructions on the Office of the Bursar’s website.

Are there penalties for paying my bill after the due date?

A monthly late payment fee is assessed to students whose payments are not received by the due date. The late payment fee, 1.5 percent of the past due balance with a $2 minimum, will continue to be assessed each month that the account remains unpaid. For more information, refer to bursar.indiana.edu.

Managing Your Money

Learning to manage money is one of the toughest tests for new college students. Poor money management will follow you long after you’ve graduated. Be smart, plan for your future, and use these good financial practices. n You are the responsible party. When it comes to your finances, anything that has your name on it is your responsibility. Even if you have help from outside sources, the university and creditors will look to you for payment—and will come to you when your financial obligations have not been met. n Pay your bills on time. Late payments and nonpayments will seriously hinder your credit rating and affect your ability to borrow money for a large purchase (such as a house or a car) or to start a business. n Spend your student loan money wisely. You’ll have to pay it back some day. n Make your money last. It is important to make sure you have the money to do what you need to do: tuition, rent, food, or transportation. Know what your goals are for the year and think about them when you make spending decisions. n Don’t buy on impulse. Figure out the difference between “need” and “want.” n Resist peer pressure. Many students feel pressured to spend money that they don’t have. Be willing to say, “No, I can’t afford that.”

Helpful Hints for Your Budgeting

Knowing where your money goes is an important part of managing your finances. Here are a few things to keep in mind. n Honesty counts. Will your budget support your caffeine addiction, or will you need to make changes? A few dollars for a cup of coffee or a snack might not seem like much, until it becomes a daily habit. Be honest with yourself about where you are spending your money. Using cash helps keep you honest—oh, and you should probably start asking for the receipt.

It’s in the details. Downloading five or six extra tunes can make a dent in your wallet. Whether you are using a checkbook ledger, an Excel spreadsheet, a Post-it note, or a reliable online money tracking program—it is important to know where and when you are spending money. Stay flexible. You’ll have “cheap weeks” and weeks when you overspend. Having a few extra dollars at the end of the week might make you feel like you have extra money to spend, but plan ahead for those unexpected costs that catch us off guard such as car repairs, travel, or student organization dues.

Student Discounts

Take advantage of the many discounts for IU students. n Use the IU Health Center, which provides IU students with low-cost health care, counseling services, and healthy-living resources. n If you have a car, find out if your insurance company has discounts for students with good grades or for students who attend school more than 250 miles from home and plan to leave their cars at home. n If you’ll be flying home for the holidays, ask about student discounts and make your reservations far enough in advance to qualify for lower fares. n Ride the bus. Save money on a parking pass by taking advantage of Bloomington Transit and the IU buses. These on- and off-campus bus services are free with a valid CampusAccess Card (student ID). n IU students also have access to a wide array of computing discounts on software and hardware.

Credit Cards: Good and Evil

Proper credit card use is an ongoing issue for college students. Credit is a contract based on a promise to pay in the future for goods and services received today. The advantages of credit cards are numerous—they offer an alternative to carrying a lot of cash and can be helpful in emergencies. Credit cards can also help students become better money managers as they learn to use credit responsibly. Remember, though, that the drawbacks of using credit cards can outweigh the benefits. When you carry a credit card, it’s easy to spend more than you can afford to pay back when the bill arrives. If you only pay the minimum balance due each month, you may be surprised to find out how many years it will take to pay off the balance; interest charges can add hundreds or thousands of dollars to your bill. Research all credit card offers carefully, read credit agreements closely, and make informed decisions. The Credit CARD Act of 2009 included protections for college-aged individuals who were often enticed by freebies and giveaways to sign up for credit cards. If you are under the age of 21, you will most likely be required to obtain a cosigner in order to be issued a credit card. Not only will your spending choices impact your credit future—they could also affect the credit future of your co-signer. Keep in mind that each account you open becomes a part of your financial history and will be part of your credit record when you leave college.

Banking in Bloomington

A list of Bloomington-area banks and banking associations can be found at www.chamberbloomington.org. Click on “Business Directory” and type “bank” in the “Category/Keyword” search field. Many of these banks have branch offices and/or ATM locations on or near campus. All have a variety of checking and savings options, some specifically designed for students. Many students choose to open local checking and/or savings accounts, particularly to avoid added fees for services such as accessing ATMs using a card from an outof-town bank. It’s important to consider what’s convenient for you and your banking needs and habits.

Bikes and Bloomington are nearly synonymous. If you’re thinking about bringing a bike to campus—whether it’s for transportation to class, to train for the Little 500, or just to ride the rolling hills of southern Indiana—it’s important to remember these guidelines. n Bicycles must be registered with Parking Operations. When you register your bicycle, you’ll receive a permit that must be affixed to your bike. The $10 permit prevents tickets and impoundment, helps prevent theft, aids in the recovery of your bicycle if it is stolen, and allows the university to plan for improved biking facilities. n Invest in a good lock and use it. Park your bike on the bike racks—don’t lock it to a tree, handicap ramp rail, or lamppost. n The IU campus supports a wide range of transportation alternatives, including walking, buses, bicycles, motorcycles, and cars. Remember that your bicycle is a vehicle and is subject to Indiana’s rules of the road. Here are some important safety and usage tips: • Always wear a helmet. • When riding in the dark, make sure you are clearly visible. Bike lights, flashers, and reflectors are important, as is wearing lightcolored clothing and reflective patches. • Ride with traffic. Whenever possible, ride on the right side of the lane or street, where most motorists expect to see you. Before turning left, move into the left lane or the left side of the lane to avoid cutting off motorists, or worse, getting hit. • Before turning, be sure to check all directions and signal with your hand. • Allow at least four feet, if possible, between your bicycle and parked cars to avoid colliding into a suddenly opened door. • Be courteous to faster traffic. Let motorists pass when conditions are safe. Help motorists by taking up the full lane as a signal that passing is not safe. When motorized traffic slows due to a jam or traffic signal, do not pass cars on the right. • Obey all street signs and signals, including stop signs and lights. • Be courteous to pedestrians. Give them room to change direction unexpectedly and pass with caution.

Zipcar—A Car-Sharing Service Web: www.zipcar.com/iub

Students at IU Bloomington now have wheels when they want them with a new car-sharing program. IU Transportation Services has partnered with Zipcar to provide cars on demand 24/7 that can be reserved by the hour or by the day. IU students can apply for a discounted membership on Zipcar’s web page at www.zipcar.com/iub and also get a $35 driving credit. Car sharing is convenient for those trips that can’t be conveniently met by Campus Bus Service or Bloomington Transit, and it is much less expensive than owning, maintaining, and paying for parking a car on campus. Gas, insurance, roadside assistance, and 180 miles per day are all covered by the rates that start at $8 per hour. All you need is to be at least 18 years old, have had a valid driver’s license for at least one year, and have a safe driving record.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY: “ICE” FOR SAFETY Use your cell phone contacts to keep you safe. Enter the contact numbers for two or three people, including at least one parent or guardian who could make decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so. Enter your contacts in your cell phone as “ICE—CONTACT” replacing the word “CONTACT” with a name. Emergency personnel can identify these numbers quickly and can contact someone for you if necessary.

Diversity on Campus

IU Bloomington is truly a representation of our global society. We are home to students from all 50 states and more than 130 countries, and from a wide variety of religions, ethnic and cultural backgrounds, experiences, and political persuasions. We recognize, respect, and embrace the differences that exist among people, and celebrate our commonalities. We encourage students to ask when they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand, question in order to learn more, share their own experiences and culture with others, speak out against injustices, and explore the world around them. As outlined in The Indiana Promise, students are also expected to respect faculty, staff, and other students and are encouraged to be open to learning about, from, and with others. IU is especially sensitive to issues that sometimes challenge students as they adjust to college life in Bloomington. As a multicultural institution, IU strives to provide a rich and healthy environment for all students. Students have many opportunities to explore and celebrate culture and diversity at Indiana University. From Welcome Weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CultureFest to the many programs, events, and activities offered in the residence halls, through culture or support offices, by student organizations and in the classroom, we encourage students to actively participate, share, discuss, and connect.

STUDENTS: DID YOU KNOW? REDUCE YOUR RISK OF BEING INVOLVED IN NONCONSENSUAL SEX

MEN: DID YOU KNOW?

WOMEN: DID YOU KNOW?

Statistics

1 in 12 men admit to committing acts that meet the legal definition of sexual assault or attempted sexual assault. n More than 1 in 5 men report “becoming so sexually aroused that they could not stop themselves from having sex, even though the woman did not consent.” n 84% of men who committed sexual assault said that what they did was definitely not sexual assault. n

Consent n

n n n

Consent is an unmistakable, often verbal positive response to participate in a sexual activity. Consent must be freely given and not coerced. Any sexual activity in which one partner has not given consent is sexual assault. If you are unsure about your partner’s wishes, ask for consent before continuing. Don’t assume a woman wants to have sex because of how she’s dressed or how she acts—these are not indications of consent. Don’t assume that when a woman wants to spend time alone with you, it means she wants to engage in sexual activity.

Alcohol and Other Drugs

75% of male students involved in a sexual assault had been drinking or using drugs. n Alcohol and other drugs may interfere with your ability to recognize your partner’s feelings about, and comfort with, what’s happening. n Be aware of your friends when they are drinking at a party. You might be able to stop them from doing something they’ll regret. n Consent cannot be legally given when someone is intoxicated by alcohol or other drugs. It is safer to not engage in any sexual activity until you and your partner are both able to make a sober choice to do so.

1 in 6 women will experience a sexual assault during their time in college. n 90% of women who are sexually assaulted had a prior relationship with the assailant. n

Consent

Consent is an unmistakable, often verbal positive response to participate in sexual activity. Consent must be freely given and not coerced. n Any sexual activity in which one partner has not given consent is sexual assault. If you have not given consent, no one has the right to have any type of sexual interaction with you. n

Alcohol and Other Drugs

55% of female students involved in a sexual assault had been drinking or using drugs. n Alcohol and other drugs may interfere with your ability to recognize your partner’s feelings about, and comfort with, what’s happening. n Consent cannot be legally given when someone is intoxicated by alcohol or other drugs. It is safer to not engage in any sexual activity until you and your partner are both able to make a sober choice to do so. n

HOW TO SUPPORT SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN SEXUALLY ASSAULTED When assisting someone who has experienced sexual assault, remember the following:

What to Do n n n n n

Listen to and believe her/him. Ask what her/his immediate needs are. Allow her/him to come to her/his own decisions and conclusions. Direct her/him to available resources. If she/he would like to have a medical exam performed for evidence, remind her/him not to shower. This way, there will be evidence if she/he later decides to prosecute. Ask for assistance if you feel uncomfortable dealing with the situation.

What Not to Do Do not blame her/him. Do not ask questions about what happened or imply that it was her/his fault. n Do not reinforce the sense of victimization by making decisions for her/him. n Do not evaluate her/his statements or make value judgments about them. n Do not minimize the seriousness of the assault. n

about becoming a Savant, please let us know by contacting owa@indiana.edu or by calling us at 855-3849. Though OWA desires to work proactively, it also assists students in responding to challenging events that have occurred. For example, in conjunction with the Gender Incidents Team and Sexual Assault Crisis Services, OWA provides consultation for individuals dealing with concerns about gender-based incidents. It connects women with resources and suggestions for coping with and responding to problem situations, gender-based violence, and conflictresolution strategies, which empower women to overcome difficulties, thrive, and succeed.

Office of Overseas Study Franklin Hall 303 Phone: (812) 855-9304 Email: overseas@indiana.edu Web: www.indiana.edu/~overseas No matter what you’re majoring in, you can study abroad. IU offers more than 100 programs in 37 countries, in 17 languages, and in nearly every field of study.

Online Communities: Facebook, Twitter, and Beyond

Many students use online communities to make new friends and keep in touch. Being a part of an online community can help you connect with people at IU Bloomington and keep you informed of campus happenings. Remember that your profile is an extension of your identity. Potential employers can— and often do—look at your online profiles before hiring you. It’s easy to post false information online, so be careful when meeting new people in online communities. Avoid sharing personal information such as addresses and phone numbers with people who you are not familiar with. If you plan on meeting someone you met online in person, meet in a public, crowded place, such as a restaurant or mall. Don’t engage in cyber bullying or the spreading of rumors online.

IU has long been noted for its serene beauty, set against the backdrop of a small, bustling city. While we are fortunate to enjoy this location, personal safety is a national concern that touches all communities. In addition to the dean of students and the residence center staff, many other offices and programs work to ensure student safety at IU. As important as resources, however, is the need for students to take responsibility for their own safety. Being aware of your own safety at IU isn’t all that different from what you’ve been learning all your life. For example: n Look both ways before you cross the street. Texting a friend while walking across campus or having earphones in means you don’t always pay attention to bicyclists, cars, or buses. They’re bigger than you. Pay attention. n Lock your door—take your key. How annoyed would you be if you came back to your room and your laptop or wallet was gone? How much worse would it be if you realized you made it easier by leaving your door open or unlocked? Talk with your roommate(s) about locking the door every time they leave the room. You and your stuff will be safer for it. n Use the buddy system. While we have a lot of ways that we keep the campus safe, use common sense when walking at night or when you go to unfamiliar places. Make sure roommates or friends know when they should expect you back.

Safety Escort Service

This service provides safe van transportation for students who would otherwise be walking alone at night. Call for current hours.

Sexual Assault Crisis Service (SACS) 600 N. Jordan Avenue IU Health Center 24-hour crisis line: (812) 855-8900 Appointment line: (812) 855-5711 Hours: 8 a.m.–4:30 p.m., Monday–Friday Web: www.indiana.edu/~health/departments/sacsmain.html SACS is a comprehensive, free, and confidential service that provides education, crisis intervention, and individual and group counseling to victims of sexual assault and their family and friends.

Reduce the Risk of Sexual Assault

A sexual assault is never the victim’s fault. Nothing that you do can prevent someone from making the choice to assault you. However, there are some things that can reduce the risk of a sexual assault occurring. n Go to parties with friends and leave with friends. n Trust your feelings. If you feel uncomfortable and are being pressured, recognize it and get away from the situation. n Sexual assault can happen with people you know fairly well and with whom you’ve had previously positive and comfortable interactions. n Look out for your friends. If your friends appear to be drunk or are with other people who are drunk, don’t leave them alone together. n If you choose to drink, be aware of how much you have had to drink and whether you can communicate clearly. n Be clear about your expectations. Ask your partner about her or his expectations. Now is not the time to be shy or coy.

POLICIES

Remember that in committing to the Indiana Promise you are promising to be ethical in your academic work, take responsibility for your actions, and respect the dignity of others, treating everyone with civility and understanding.

Student Rights and Responsibilities

As a student, you have both the rights and the responsibilities that come with being a member of the IU community. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important that you are aware of each of these. Policies and procedures exist not only to uphold the academic mission of the university but, as in any community, also to help keep individuals safe and encourage responsibility. As a member of this community, you need to be familiar with the behaviors expected of IU students, and to make and keep the Indiana Promise. In addition, each Indiana University student is expected to be familiar with the Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct (www.iu.edu/~code). Be sure to review this booklet, as it outlines policies and procedures regarding both academic and personal misconduct.

Religious Holidays and Classes

IU respects the right of all students to observe religious holidays and will make reasonable accommodations, upon request, for such observances. Students must notify their professors early in the semester if potential conflicts exist in order to discuss appropriate accommodations that will allow certain religious holiday observations. Such accommodations may include alternate arrangements for classes, examinations, or other academic occasions. For each of your classes, be sure to read your syllabus, which outlines the class structure, exams, and assignments, and discuss your specific situation with your professor within the first two weeks of the semester so that arrangements can be made. More information and the required form needed to request an accommodation for a religious observance can be found at teaching.iub.edu/ policies_religious.php?nav=policies.

Office of Student Ethics and Anti-Harassment Programs 801 N. Jordan Avenue Bloomington, IN 47405-2107 Phone: (812) 855-5419 Web: studentaffairs.iub.edu/ethics

To report student misconduct, incidents of sexual assault, and other forms of victimization, email ethics@indiana.edu. Below are resources to help you become acquainted with the behaviors expected of IU students and the rights you can expect as a student. n The Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct (www. iu.edu/~code) is distributed to all new students. This pamphlet contains descriptions of policies that apply to all IU students and information about the procedures used to address student misconduct. n Your Neighborhood from A to Z, a booklet that is distributed to all students living in campus housing, explains rules and regulations for residence hall living. n In the Enrollment and Student Academic Information booklet, given to all students each semester, you will find regulations and policies that cover academic ethics, student academic and personal misconduct, and other topics that apply to IU students. n A course syllabus will be provided for each of your classes. Your syllabus should include information about what constitutes academic misconduct. Read the syllabus carefully to avoid violating course policies. n If a student feels unsafe or cannot study because of the actions of another student, a report can be submitted to any residence hall staff member, to a faculty member, or directly to the Office of Student Ethics and Anti-Harassment Programs (see above for contact information). When reports are received, action is taken if policies appear to have been violated. To avoid having complaints filed against you, familiarize yourself with the policies. Ignorance of policy is not permission to violate policy.

Alcohol Policy

Each year, college students across the country die or suffer serious injuries because of inappropriate alcohol consumption. The majority of campus vandalism, academic failure, student discipline, and criminal justice problems are alcohol-related. Indiana University is committed to maintaining a campus environment that enables students to succeed academically, and has policies concerning the use, misuse, and abuse of alcohol as defined in Part II, Section H (22) aâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;f of the Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct. Alcohol use is prohibited in most undergraduate residence halls. Additionally,

students are expected to abide by Indiana law. The university has nearly 40 distinct programs designed to educate students about alcohol misuse/abuse, and faculty infuse information and research into their curricula. The CampusCommunity Commission on Alcohol is a multidisciplinary group that advises the administration on policy issues. Students are highly encouraged to participate.

Privacy and Parent Information

What information about academic or discipline issues can parents or guardians get directly from university officials? As a public institution, IU adheres to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), which is designed to protect students’ private records. If a parent wants more information than what is provided by his or her student, IU may release information either (a) after the student signs a statement releasing information to the parent, or (b) after the parent provides appropriate documentation to show that, according to FERPA, the parent meets the criteria for accessing information without the student’s consent. In addition, IU notifies parents or guardians under certain conditions when students who are under 21 years of age violate alcohol or drug policies. For more information, contact the University Division Records Office at (812) 855-7797.

Issues of safety and harassment are taken very seriously at IU. There are four teams designed to handle safety and harassment issues based on race, gender, religion, national origin, or sexual orientation. Team members include faculty and staff with expertise in diversity issues. Furthermore, these individuals are trained to resolve conflicts, assist with mediation or judicial action, and serve as a support system for students. Incidents can be reported anonymously, over the phone, via email, or in person. Don’t let harassment continue—report it. To report bias-motivated incidents based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or national origin, email trust@indiana.edu.

Phone: (812) 855-4463 Email: trust@indiana.edu

WRONG ANSWER! Avoid serious academic trouble at IU. Save yourself time and trouble by following these guidelines: n Don’t cut and paste directly from the Internet; your professor can do web searches as easily as you can. n Never use anyone else’s ideas, words, or concepts without proper citation. n Don’t use the same paper for two classes, even if the classes take place in different semesters. n Don’t work in a group unless your professor approves. n Never, ever use a “test file” or a paper your friend turned in during a previous semester. n Always cite your sources. If you aren’t sure how, ask your professor or associate instructor. For more information about academic or personal misconduct, see the Indiana University Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct at www.iu.edu/~code, talk to a professor, or ask an advisor.

IUBeginnings

Kick off your college career with an IUBeginnings adventure! IUBeginnings is your opportunity to explore leadership opportunities, civic engagement, future careers, the arts, or a wilderness adventure while establishing friendships with other new students before fall semester even begins.

IUBeginnings is a great way to get a head start on your first year. IUBeginnings is only available to students starting their first year in the fall, and offers 15 distinct trips over five different tracks, with options for incoming freshman and transfer students. Participation is limited and trips are priced accordingly so check out the website for more information: fye.indiana.edu/iubeginnings.

Proud Traditions: Welcome Week 2011

Welcome Week begins on Wednesday, August 24! Welcome Week is specifically designed to help you learn your way around campus, to get to know lots of people, and to help you start to feel more comfortable and connected in your IU home. You’ll meet faculty, staff, and other new and returning students, all while having a great time and learning about IU. No matter how familiar you are with campus right now, whether you’re new to the college experience or just new to IU’s campus, you’ll be glad you participated in Welcome Week.

Here’s What Other Students Had to Say About Welcome Week: n

“Mostly it was a lot of fun. Traditions and Spirit of IU was great, and so was CultureFest. But I also felt like I know my way around campus much better after Welcome Week.” “I live off campus and went to a different school my freshman year, so I didn’t think Welcome Week was going to be any big deal. But I went for the free stuff—and ended up going to things with people I met at that first event. These are now some of my best friends.” “At first, I didn’t think I needed to go to any of the Welcome Week events because I’ve been to campus many times. But I did, and I’m glad. I found out about tons of things I probably wouldn’t have otherwise.” “Going to lots of Welcome Week events, and the Student Involvement Fair in particular, was a great way to meet other students and IU groups.”

All new students entering IU Bloomington for fall semester should plan to be on campus and checked into housing on August 24. Welcome Week events begin on that day with the Freshman Induction Ceremony and opening meetings for both on- and off-campus new students. Academic, social, and IU tradition events continue through the start of fall semester classes. Other orientation and First Year Experience programs continue throughout the semester. Check for information and updates on the FYE website, and be sure to pick up your Welcome Week schedule at your residence hall upon check-in. Schedules are also available for off-campus students at the Office of First Year Experience Programs and online at fye.indiana.edu after August 15.

Freshman Induction Ceremonies

Traditions and Spirit of IU n

Family Events—Parents and family members are invited to take part in opening day activities on August 24, including the Freshman Induction Ceremony and the Induction Picnic. These are great activities to do together before your family returns home, so be sure to invite them. There are two Freshman Induction ceremonies, two hours apart, to accommodate freshmen and their guests and to provide flexibility for travel time after the ceremony. You will be asked to RSVP to one. Off-Campus Students—Even if you won’t be living in a residence hall, there are many events for you. Pick up your Welcome Week schedule and information booklet at the Office of First Year Experience Programs or at the Induction Picnic. Don’t miss your first opportunity to find your place at IU.

Placement Exams—There are several optional placement exams offered again in the fall. Look through your Welcome Week schedule for dates and times. IU Guides—Watch for IU Guides to help you get around campus during the first two days of classes in the fall. These current students, staff members, and faculty members are here to help point out buildings, hand out campus maps, and answer your questions.

Interfraternity Council Recruitment/Panhellenic Association organization functions—First-year students are not permitted to attend IFC/PHA organization functions until formal recruitment officially begins. Formal IFC recruitment typically begins within the first month of classes at the annual Dunn Meadow Rush Kickoff. New students who do not abide by these rules may be restricted from partaking in recruitment in the future; penalties may be incurred by chapter houses who allow new students to attend events. For additional information regarding any of the greek council’s recruitment plans, please refer to www.sao.indiana.edu/councils_greek.html.

Attending New Student Orientation in August?

If you’re coming to IU for orientation just before the start of the semester, you may be nervous that you won’t get the classes you need, or that you won’t have time to move into your living space, buy books, and get settled before the start of classes. Relax—you will have time. The August New Student Orientation program has been adjusted so you can learn basic details, participate in academic advising, and register for classes as quickly and effectively as possible. During the fall program, you’ll be finishing up with registration just before the start of Welcome Week activities. Whether you’re a freshman or are transferring in from another school, there are Welcome Week events just for you, including the Freshman Induction Ceremony and the Transfer Student Welcome.

Admitted to IU in January?

At January New Student Orientation, you will spend a few days with other students who are starting IU at the same time. Together, you will attend sessions about your transition to IU as well as take care of some of the business aspects of becoming a student. Most importantly, you will finish registering for your spring semester courses before the semester begins. Use the weekend right before the semester starts to get settled so that you can dive right into campus life. Many student organizations hold their major events during the spring semester. GRE

Information for Transfer Students

Transferring to IU might seem like an overwhelming process. If you’re a year or two (or more) into your college experience, you already have a good idea

of who you are as a college student. You know what it takes to be successful inside and outside the classroom. Keep in mind that although you’ve already experienced your “college firsts,” you’ll still need to learn how to navigate this campus. New Student Orientation isn’t “just a freshman thing” at Indiana University. Programs before you start—and even throughout your first year at IU Bloomington—are designed to help you learn the IU “language.” Each campus has its own set of terminology. For example, residence hall convenience stores are called “C-stores,” an “AI” is an associate instructor who may be a doctoral student assisting your professor. The sooner you learn the lingo, the campus, and the many resources here to support you, the smoother your transition will be. Now that you’re advancing in your academic career, you’ll be taking higherlevel courses. While you may not have needed help at your previous institution, make sure you know how to take advantage of services such as free tutoring or workshops on doing research in the library. Create a solid foundation for your academic career by taking as many workshops and sessions as possible during the first few weeks of the semester. You’ll also want to visit the Career Development Center (CDC). Whether you are looking for part-time work during the semester, need to have your resume critiqued, or want to build your skills through an internship in the summer, the CDC has everything you need. As a transfer student, you’re a little further along in your course work, so make sure you get a jump on your life after graduation starting right now. Be sure to check out the resources and services outlined in this Resource Guide and on the FYE website often. EK ORGANIZATIONS

THINGS TO DO YOUR FIRST FEW WEEKS AT IU: n Get started right. Be sure to go to as many Welcome Week events as you can.
