Want to learn more about joining a fraternity or sorority? Our many Greek organizations will be available to meet you and answer your questions. Do you love playing tabletop games?

Campus Involvement and Employment |
Think about your interests, and explore the clubs or organizations you could become involved in at IUP.
How does campus involvement benefit you?
|
-
Sharing an activity with people who enjoy the same thing is a natural way to connect with potential friends.
- Being involved with campus groups means working for a common goal and sharing successes and setbacks.
- College is a chance to try something new.
-
Develop leadership experience through team projects or on-campus jobs, and highlight these experiences on your résumé.
- It is never too soon to learn that everyone you meet has the potential to change your life. Create a strong network by building meaningful relationships with your peers, professors, staff, and administrators.

I’m a Returning Student. Is It True That I Need a New I-Card? |
Yes! Due to everyone receiving new OneSIS ID numbers, all returning students must obtain new I-Cards. To ease the transition, your current I-Card will still work in the housing and dining system. You will not need the latest style of I-Card to eat at the dining hall.
When it is convenient for you, please stop by Clark Hall to exchange your old I-Card for the new style that includes your new University ID. Please have your new ID number, which begins with the letter “P,” ready when you come to Clark Hall. This can be found in the MyIUP Portal under the card “Your New Banner ID.” Clark Hall is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m.

MyIUP Has Been Updated, so How Do I Find My Navigator? |
Your Navigator’s information is now located in MyIUP, on the Student Dashboard card pinned to your home screen. Once in the Student Dashboard, select the Student Profile, and you will find both your Primary Academic Advisor and your Navigator.
| How Do I Update My Personal Information on MyIUP? |
Please log in to your new MyIUP Portal and verify that your information is correct. This information includes your personal/demographic information like name, address, phone number, etc., as well as academic info (i.e., major, minor, etc.). Our new system was implemented over the summer, and we want to ensure everything is accurate. Look for a communication from your Navigator for instructions on how to verify and update your information.
| Do I Need to Set Up Proxy Access? |
As part of the new system, you will need to set up proxy access for your parents and other authorized users. This process replaces the old Record Release Authorization. Proxy access will enable your chosen individuals to view specific information about your records, so it’s an important step to complete. You can find detailed instructions online to complete the process.
