The Auxiliary Services Office, formerly known as Service Enterprises, oversaw all offices and departments on Indiana University that were self-supporting and operated independently of the state budget. From the 1940-1941 Report of Service Enterprises: "The department of Service Enterprises was introduced for the first time in July, 1940, as a unit of the Comptroller's Office. Harold W. Jordan...was at this time appointed Director of Service Enterprises. This office coordinates the work of nine self supporting departments on campus (Indiana Union and Union Food Departments, Halls of Residence, University Printing Plant, Indiana Daily Student, Duplicating Department, Home Economics Practice House, and the University Bookstore and Auditorium). In addition to the work of these service departments, this office is responsible for the organization and planning of campus conferences and conventions."

Since its establishment in 1940, Auxiliary Services has had four Business Managers (early title was Director of Service Enterprises); Harold Jordan (circa 1942-1960), Donald Clark (circa 1959-1969), Theodore Jones (circa 1969-1984), and Gregg Floyd (circa 1985-2003).

In addition to the various names changes, Auxiliary Services has had several adjustments in the departments it oversaw. Although many of the same departments remained functioning, changes in circumstances and needs of the University meant the extinction of several departments, such as the Home Economics Practice House and the Duplicating Department, and the creation of several others, such as the Motor Pool and Parking Operations. During this period, Auxiliary Enterprises encompassed the Auditorium, Bookstore, Campus Bus Service, Campus Foods, Communications, Halls of Residence, Indiana Memorial Union Building (IMU), Motor Pool, and Parking Operations, and the supervision of committees.

There is no longer a separate office for Auxiliary Services and Programs, though it is not clear when the office dissolved. At the time of this writing, all auxiliary units report to the Office of the Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.
