About IU Mobile Web
IU Mobile Web at https://m.iu.edu/ is a mobile portal service for the Indiana University community, designed for smartphones and other mobile devices; see Recommended devices below.
From IU Mobile, you can access a wide range of services. Many are publicly available, while others have features requiring authentication.
-
Oncourse: With Mobile CAS
authentication, Oncourse Mobile displays the number of new messages,
forum posts, and announcements for each of your classes or
workspaces. You can read the messages from your mobile device;
future versions will expand these functions to include other
Oncourse CL tools.
-
Classifieds: Classified ads from
OneStart.
-
Bus Schedules: The first version of this
service provides static pages of the IU bus and Bloomington Transit
schedules; future versions will feature both schedules for other IU
campuses, and dynamically updated real-time schedule information.

STC Availability: Displays real-time ratio of
open computers to total available in each IUB lab. Information for
other campuses is planned.

People: The mobile version of

OneStart; see For IU emergency notifications, how do I update my contact information? If you use an iPhone or BlackBerry,
any campus alert issued will display an icon on your home page.

libraries and the Knowledge Base; you can also search Wikipedia.

services or to provide feedback to the developers. UITS encourages
you to help improve the service by offering your suggestions and
comments.
