What is CAS?
The Central Authentication Service (CAS) is a “single sign-on” service allowing an account holder to logon a single time to university services, and then access other services without the need to login again each time a different service is desired.
CAS recognizes four levels of access: IU faculty/staff, IU students, IU affiliates, and guest. Guest accounts allow non-university affiliates limited access to certain university online services.
Prerequisite for Establishing a Guest Account
You must possess a valid E-mail account that you can access.

Preparing for Account Creation

Before creating the account and password, read carefully the next screen listing the password guidelines.
Then, practice writing passwords on a piece of paper until you decide on one that you can remember and that meets all the password criteria!
