How Do I Get Started?


To avoid having your account deactivated, you must complete the Student Training Course and begin your class within the first 15 days of the start date. You must continue to progress weekly, completing assignments and communicating with your instructor. You may complete the class earlier than scheduled.


  1. From the Indiana Online Academy website www.indianaonlineacademy.org click Login from the top right hand corner.

  2. Enter the Username and Password you received in a previous e-mail then click Log On. (If you do not have your login information, click "Forgot Password?". Enter the same e-mail address you provided on the registration form into the box...and your username and password will be immediately sent to that e-mail address.) Be sure to WRITE DOWN YOUR USERNAME & PASSWORD and don't lose it!!

  3. After you have logged in, click "Proceed to your Classes" on the top left side of the screen. You will NOT have this option to click until classes have begun.

  4. All IOA students must complete the Student Training Course BEFORE gaining access to the classes they have enrolled in. The Student Training Course is the first item in your class, so once you have clicked on the class name, click on Lessons to locate the link. You will be required to THOROUGHLY READ the IOA Handbook. When you have completed ALL activities in the Student Training Course and passed the test with 100%, you will have access to the units in your course.

  5. It is advised that you create all of your work first in Microsoft Word, (or PowerPoint) SAVE IT, and then "paste" it into your course. ANGEL will "time-out" for security reasons after a period of inactivity. In such cases, you may lose your work! Make sure to ALWAYS have a backup copy of any work that you complete. You may be asked to provide a copy to your instructor for grading.

  6. Click on the button located on the left side of the Home Page that looks like a person's head to modify your settings, such as changing your email address or your password. Be sure to click Save when you are finished.

  7. If you have any questions at any time, contact your instructor. The Instructor's telephone number can be found by clicking on the Communicate tab within the class.
