Getting Ready

You need to have two-factor authorization (two-step login or Duo) enabled. Perhaps the simplest approach is to use the Duo Mobile App on a smartphone. But there are other options, including receiving a code by text message. See About Two-Step Login (Duo) at IU
Basic Access

You do not need to change your email address as part of this migration. You may later wish to change your primary IU email address to [username]@iu.edu, instead of [username]@indiana.edu. You will continue to receive email addressed in either of these forms. The migration might cause complications if you are using your former IU email address with certain outside services, such as group email listservs.
