Create an account for faculty and students

Moodle ISU is connected to the University's registration system. When you are added to a course as a student or teacher by the Registrar your Moodle ISU account is automatically created. You can log into Moodle ISU with the University's single sign-on (SSO) using your same credentials to log into MyISU or ISU Gmail.

Moodle ISU Community is connected to the University’s single sign-on (SSO) system. When using ISU SSO on the login page, your Moodle ISU Community account is automatically created.

Create an account for staff or unassigned faculty

Moodle ISU is connected to the University's registration system. For staff who have never been enrolled into a Moodle Course by the Registrar, an account will need to be manually created. 

To request a manual account, send the following information to the Instructional Technology Resource Center (itrc@isu.edu):

  • First & Last Name
  • ISU Username (the same username to log into MyISU)
  • ISU primary email

Moodle ISU Community is connected to the University’s single sign-on (SSO) system. When using ISU SSO on the login page, your Moodle ISU Community account is automatically created.

Create an account for external users

Moodle ISU is connected to the University's registration system. External Users ( accreditors, guest lecturers, etc.) will need to first work with their ISU Representative to obtain an ISU username from the IT Service Desk. Once created, the IT Service Desk (help@isu.edu | 208-282-HELP) can assign a task to the Instructional Technology Resource Center (itrc@isu.edu) with the users' information to manually create a Moodle ISU account:

  • First & Last Name
  • ISU Username (the same username to log into MyISU)
  • ISU primary email

Moodle ISU Community has an email registration option. External users can create their own Moodle ISU Community account that is associated with their personal email. On the login page, select “Create new account” to get started.

If the external user has an ISU email, they can use the University's single sign-on (SSO) system to log in. Their Moodle ISU Community account is automatically created.
