Oncourse CL
Oncourse is an IU computing system which assists faculty and students by providing opportunities for class record-keeping, interaction with students, posting of homework assignments, and other options via the Internet. Oncourse basically enables you to develop a website for each course you teach within a set format. We encourage you to explore the many features of Oncourse CL by going to the following Web address: http://oncourse.iu.edu. You must log in with your IU network username and passphrase. Then a list of your current classes will be shown, and you can select one of them and begin entering information for your students.
Among other features, Oncourse provides your class roster, a syllabus page, a calendar page, an electronic grade book option, and a class discussion forum. You can choose to use one or many features of Oncourse, and it is easy for students to access.
Students simply go to the same website and log in; then a list of the classes they are currently taking will appear. They can then select your class and view the information you have provided.
OneStart Web Portal
OneStart is the website through which IU support service offices have gathered all relevant support for IU faculty, staff, and students according to their role in the University. The website is located at http://onestart.iu.edu, and you log in using your network user name and passphrase. Select “Faculty Systems” in the left hand column to obtain access to the “Faculty Center” where you’ll find your class rosters and where you can post your students’ grades. You will also find a link to the eGrade Change form in case you need to change a student’s grade after the final roster deadline.
Select “Services Home” to find the “Employee Self Service” box. Here you’ll find links to your pay check information, your direct deposit information, and a way to sign up to receive your W2 tax form electronically.
Students use OneStart as their starting point to register for classes and view their schedules and transcripts. They can also find their Bursar account balance and a wealth of other information through the OneStart "portal."

Students also use the on-line registration system available on the OneStart portal to add and drop classes after the semester has begun. During the first week of classes, students on waitlists will be automatically placed in classes as spaces become available. They will be informed of these placements via e-mail. Students can change their schedules in OneStart during the first week of classes using the same procedures they used to register for classes in the first place. If you would like to increase the enrollment limit of your class to let in more students before or during the first week of classes, please ask Isabel.
After the first week of classes, students who want to drop a class should initiate an electronic document (e-doc) in OneStart, called an eDrop. This document is routed to the department and to the dean’s office of the student’s school for approval, and then it goes to the Registrar’s Office, where the schedule change is made. The FRIT staff will automatically approve drops for undergraduate students. Graduate student drops will be routed to the graduate advisors before being approved.
Students who want to add a class after the first week of classes can also do so by initiating an e-doc, called an eAdd. This document is routed to the instructor for approval, and then to the department staff and the Registrar’s Office, where the schedule change is made. The FRIT staff will automatically approve adds if the instructor has approved the add first.
Any questions about class enrollment levels or the student schedule adjustment process should go to Isabel as Scheduling Officer.
