Connectivity Guidelines
IUP online services are best utilized when accessed via high-speed/broadband internet connection such as DSL, cable modem, or other high-speed service. Dial-up service may be an option for course material and collaboration that does not rely on media-rich content. Please consult the course syllabus for media-rich course material or connectivity requirements.
