The new portal requires using an up to date web browser.  See our browser support page for a complete list of supported browser versions.

If you have to use Internet Explorer 6, or some other web browser that is not listed on the browser support page, you might try one of these 3 options:

• Upgrade to either Internet Explorer 7 or 8
  • Download Internet Explorer 7
  • Download Internet Explorer 8
• Install FireFox 3.0 web browser (http://getfirefox.com)
• Log into each service separately using your myUSI username and password (bypassing the myUSI portal) by using the myUSI Start page available at http://www.usi.edu/start

If none of these resolve your situation, call the myUSI Helpdesk at 812.465.1080 at once.

If you are having problems logging into the myUSI portal, http://my.usi.edu, you can try logging into the services that you want to access, myUSI Mail (for your email), Blackboard (for online course materials), and Self Service (for registration, checking or updating grades, financial aid, etc.) by going to the myUSI Start page:

myUSI Start page:  http://www.usi.edu/start

Just log in to whichever service you need and it will open in a separate window or web browser tab.

NOTE: When you are finished with each service, make sure to log out of that service by clicking the respective Log Out or Sign Out links and then close the tabs and browser.

There are a number of phishing scams going around the Internet all the time. When a site like myUSI is undergoing a change, it can lead to confusion among the site’s users if they receive requests via email for sensitive personal information, username’s and passwords from seemingly trusted sources.

To be clear, any request for passwords, usernames, or sensitive personal information should be treated as a scam.

The myUSI support team will never ask for usernames, passwords, or sensitive personal information by email.

If receive these types of requests from seemingly trusted sources, do not respond to them. If you are concerned about them, and want to verify that they are indeed scams, you can contact the USI Helpdesk by email at it@usi.edu or by phone at 812.465.1080.

Many students try to print PowerPoint slides  or Word documents from inside Blackboard.  Doing so may be causing problems depending how the web browser they are using is configured.

They may need to save the PowerPoint presentation OUTSIDE of Blackboard

2. Right click on the title of the PowerPoint presentation or Word document.
3. Select SAVE and save the presentation or document to the desktop.
4. Minimize Blackboard.
5. Open the presentation or documentfrom the desktop.
6. Select FILE, and then PRINT from the top menu.
7. A print window will open.
8. For presentations, about two thirds of the way down the print window, find Print what:
   1. Open the drop-down list directly below that and select Handouts.
   2. To the right of that, select the number of slides per page.
9. Then click OK. This will send your project to the printer.

On January 29th you will be mailed a 1098T form from USI, which can be used to calculate possible income tax credits. These forms will contain zero dollar amounts in all boxes. Federal regulations do not require that the University provide financial data on your 1098T form. We understand that to complete your tax return you will need financial data.

In order to aid you in calculating what your deduction may be, we have placed all necessary information on myUSI (http://my.usi.edu). Due to privacy regulations, we are unable to provide this information over the phone or by fax. By signing onto myUSI, you are identifying yourself by using your confidential username and password and are therefore able to obtain your information. Please see the additional 1098T related FAQs that follow this for detailed information on how to find dollar amounts.

If you do not have your myUSI username, you may obtain the same by following the steps listed on the myUSI website. If you have misplaced your password, please contact us at (812)465-1080.

Your Username is a Person Id assigned to you by USI. To determine what your Person Id is, go to: https://www.usi.edu/webservices/lookup/. Your Password is initially a randomly generated 6-digit number assigned to by USI, but may be different if you changed it at any time. Newly admitted students receive this in a letter from the Admissions Office. If you cannot recall what your Password is, go with your picture ID to the USI Department of IT Helpdesk located Located in the Forum Wing of the Wright Administration Building across from Forum II  and they will be able to assist you.

How can I find my myUSI password?

You should wait for the entire screen to load before you start typing your Username in the login box. Many web browsers have a status bar along the bottom that will tell you when the page is done loading. Wait for the status bar to display Done before continuing. Sometimes if you typed a few characters before the page is loaded, the system will “lose” those characters.

Once logged into myUSI, you will access Student Services from the Self Service button from within myUSI or from the myUSI Start page.

From the Self Service button, click on Student & Financial Aid. This should take you to the main menu of Student Services.
