Watch the video below to see what the new sign in process will look like.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed wp-block-embed-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Log in to VIULearn with Single Sign On\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" src=\"https:\/\/viu.video.yuja.com\/V\/Video?v=677206&#038;node=3196600&#038;a=13677493&#038;autoplay=1\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Your username and password are not changing. Students will enter their student number with no spaces or dashes as their username. Employees can choose whether to use their VIU username or their institutional email address instead of their username.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are having trouble logging in to VIULearn, or any other online tool at VIU, you may need to reset your password. Information on how to reset your password for both students and employees can be found here: <a href=\"https:\/\/technology.viu.ca\/help\/forgot-password\">https:\/\/technology.viu.ca\/help\/forgot-password<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">No More Anonymous Email&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As you will know if you\u2019ve received email in VIULearn, the name of the person sending you email from VIULearn is not automatically included. For students (and some employees) this means that emails sent through VIULearn display only an email address (for example <strong>VIUD2L_1234567@d2l.viu.ca<\/strong>) and not a name. This can make it very challenging to know who has sent you a message unless the email is signed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting July 31, when anyone (student or employee) sends an email from VIULearn, their first and last name will appear along with their email address. (for example: <strong>Jane Doe &lt;VIUD2L_1234567@d2l.viu.ca &gt;<\/strong>). This setting will apply to all users in VIULearn, making it possible for students and employees to see the first and last name for anyone who sends them an email from VIULearn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This change is designed to make it easier for all members of the VIU community to communicate through the VIULearn email tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Questions?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any questions about these changes, please contact <a href=\"mailto:learnsupport@viu.ca\">learnsupport@viu.ca<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This post was updated on July 24, 2020 to reflect a change to how users enter their username.
