IU’s Summer Jobs Fair is an excellent opportunity for students who are staying in the Bloomington area over the summer. Over 75 employers will be on hand to recruit summer employees to fill full- and part-time vacancies on and off campus. If you are looking for a summer job, you will not want to miss this event.

Enrollment Appointment/Transcript Info in SIS

've received a lot of questions about where to find enrollment appointments in the new SIS system, so I thought it would be worthwhile to post a message explaining the process:

1. Under Self-Service on OneStart, click "Go to Student Center" under the red SIS logo.
2. Once you are on your Student Center page, you should be able to see your enrollment appointments, in the box called "Enrollment Dates," located on the right side of the screen (summer appointments appeared today; fall appointments should be available soon).
3. Click the "Details" link to see your start time.

If you are also interested in accessing your Degree Progress Report and/or transcript (another question that has repeatedly arisen), on the Student Center page, click "My Academics & Grades"; you can then click "View my advisement report" to see your DPR or (further down) "View my unofficial transcript."

I strongly encourage you to review the "Student Center Guide" and "Registration Guide," accessible from the Self-Service page at the bottom of the box containing the red SIS logo. Using copious screen shots, these guides provide instructions for navigating through SIS.
