More Help: More Resources to Help You at IUBThis page provides a brief overview of five other key IUB resources . . . Your academic advisor Your Academic AdvisorYour academic advisor is very knowledgeable about everything IUB has to offer. Ask him/her for help in exploring academic majors, learning about student organizations, or getting help with questions you have about any aspect of life at IUB. For most of you, your advisor will be from University Division (UD) and s/he will have an office in your residence center. For UD students living off-campus, your advisor is in the main UD administrative offices located in Maxwell Hall. Exceptions are those students who are participating in special programs such as Groups, Athletics, FASE, and the Hutton Honors College; or have a faculty advisor assignment; or were admitted directly into a degree-granting unit. If one of these exceptions applies to you, consult with your assigned advisor in your program or school. Your RAMost freshmen live in residence centers on campus. In addition to offering great locations and many conveniences, residence center life makes another excellent “in person” resource available to you—your Resident Assistant (RA). Your RA has direct personal experience with IUB’s many opportunities, and s/he also has specialized training in how to help you resolve the kinds of questions and problems you may find yourself facing on a day-to-day basis. When in doubt about where to go for information about IUB, your RA is a great resource. The Office of Orientation Program’s Resource GuideThis bright red notebook was distributed to you when you attended the Orientation Program prior to starting your classes here at IUB. In addition to providing the scheduling and assignment information you needed to get through Orientation, it includes an extensive reference section on various types of academic resources, support services, and campus activities at IUB. It also includes information on key campus units such as Residential Programs and Services, University Information and Technology Services, and University Division. Key sections of the Resource Guide are available on the web as well at http://www.indiana.edu/~orient/students/resources/ IUB Libraries Information Commons Undergraduate ServicesThe IUB Libraries get you to the ideas and information you need by providing access to the printed word and the digital world. It’s a large system, and the best entry for all new students is through Information Commons Undergraduate Library Services. ICUS librarians and staff will help you find the information you need for your courses and for your life outside of class. Consult them for all your information needs: What bus goes to the College Mall? What database is best for psychology research? What is deconstructionism? When is Spring Break? Answers are available in-person, by telephone, e-mail, or via the web. Don’t wait to learn about the most comprehensive resource on campus! Get started HERE.
