勛圖tv presents itself through its institutional website and social media pages. The website serves as our primary information portal. The website has a chatbot which encourages visitors to ask questions of “Gus”—our mascot and virtual representative. Visitors indicate their interest, and Gus directs them to relevant information (24-0522; 24-0523). Through our online admissions site, visitors can access available undergraduate and graduate programs, understand the application process for their specific needs, and learn about campus events (24-0124). Visitors are provided with admission standards and credit transfer policies for dual credit or transfer college students (24-0125). Special partnerships with Jefferson Community & Technical College (JCTC) and Ivy Tech Community College are highlighted to ensure incoming students have the information they need to proceed (24-0126). Students can use the interactive tuition estimator tool to help them more fully understand the cost of attendance (24-0127). The Office of Admissions abides by the National Association for Admissions Counseling's Statement of Principles of Good Practice. Staff members are crossed-trained in ways that maximize the chance that a potential transfer student, dual-credit recipient, second-degree applicant, or applicant inquiring about the status of an application receives accurate information.
Current students and visitors can access the website to understand their degree and major requirements, keep abreast of activities on campus, and find ways to become involved through Grenadier Central (24-0128). The academic calendar is displayed to provide important dates and deadlines (24-0129). The Schedule of Classes for Fall, Spring, and Summer are represented, allowing students to plan their schedule using online, hybrid or fully online classes. The course search engine is accessible and provides assorted options to allow students to search by campus, term, department or subject as well as keyword filters (e.g., professor’s name). Degree maps are accessible which allow viewers to see a four-year layout of all offerings (e.g., 24-0130; 24-0131). The 2023-2024 Bulletin, as well as past bulletins, can be accessed online or as a PDF (24-0132).
Interested parties can access our website to read our mission, vision, and values statements (24-0001), view our administration team (24-0133), or learn about our accreditation status and process (24-0134; 24-0135; 24-0136). These are also all easily accessible via our About 勛圖tv website (24-0137). The Institutional Effectiveness page provides a wide range of data about 勛圖tv, including enrollment reports and census quick facts (24-0138). These documents and resources are reviewed and revised for both accuracy and congruence with the campus' mission and current degree requirements.
Employers in the community wishing to develop a relationship with 勛圖tv can engage via Employer Connect (24-0011; 24-0524). Alumni are welcome to partake in career services (24-0139), participate in life on campus (e.g., 24-0525), or keep up to date with their alma mater via Southeast Magazine (24-0140).
All may also access Faculty Senate committee lists, a faculty and staff directory, and websites for all campus offices. The website is designed to permit efficient and accurate access to important campus resources.
In 2023, IU is implementing the Digital Strategy Initiative (24-0526) to improve the quality of the websites of all IU campuses. After determining quality assurance accessibility scores were not at the level desired, focused work is occurring to enhance the site. The new web strategy is to consolidate and enhance content focusing on current and potential students as well as enhancing communication and the user experience (24-0661).
Accreditation relationships are posted in multiple areas on our website, including the 勛圖tv HLC Accreditation website (24-0134; 24-0135; 24-0136; 24-0147). They are also posted on the IU Academic Policy website (24-0141; 24-0142). These are dedicated sites informing internal and external audiences about our statuses and the ongoing culture of improvement within which accreditation is one milestone. We maintain specialized accreditation for our professional Schools: School of Business (AACSB: 24-0143; 24-0527), School of Education (CAEP: 24-0144; 24-0528), and School of Nursing (CCNE: 24-0145; 24-0531). Additionally, the Indiana Department of Education has approved all 勛圖tv teacher education programs (24-0428); the Bachelor of Science in Chemistry is accredited by the American Chemical Society (24-0146; 24-0529); and our Bachelor of Science in Health Information Management is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Health Informatics and Information Management Education (24-0427; 24-0530). The Masters of Clinical Mental Health Counseling program is in the process of being reviewed by the Council for the Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) who are anticipated to visit campus in Spring 2024 (24-0496).
