How Do I Access/Use MyÄ¢¹½tv?

Log in to using the @iup.edu email and password that was set up upon admission. This is where students access Ä¢¹½tv accounts such as D2L, Ä¢¹½tv email, and EasyPay. Students also have a Success Team card. This team is comprised of the student’s academic advisor, Navigator, and any other personnel applicable to their career at Ä¢¹½tv.

The Card Index is a compiled list of all the cards on MyÄ¢¹½tv. While the Card Index lists all the cards in MyÄ¢¹½tv, the Student Cards list specifically compiles all cards that are useful for a student. Some of these cards are locked to the MyÄ¢¹½tv dashboard, but many can be found through the Discover feature and bookmarked to the homepage. MyÄ¢¹½tv allows students to customize which cards they have readily available.
