VIUTube Not Accessible

Update: UBC is still working to resolve issues on their servers resulting in VIUTube (http://viuvideos.viu.ca) not loading at this time.  Videos which are embedded in VIULearn or on external websites should now play as expected.  We apologize for the inconvenience and will provide another update by 9:30 am Wednesday June 19.

Challenges with VIULearn in Chrome Browser

At this time we are experiencing a challenge that is preventing system dialogues and pop-ups from behaving as expected in VIULearn when using Google Chrome. If you are experiencing challenges with VIULearn at this time, please switch to another supported, modern browser (such as Firefox, Edge, Safari or Opera). We apologize for any inconvenience.

If you have questions or concerns, please contact us at learnsupport@viu.ca or call 250-740-6179.

VIU Computer Password Reset Not Available

IT is currently investigating a challenge with Web services on the server isapp.viu.ca and students.viu.ca. This challenge is preventing all students from accessing anything in their student record.

Until this issue is resolved, faculty, staff, and students will not be able to reset their VIU computer accounts. If you are having difficulty logging in to VIULearn, VIUBlogs, or VIUTube, you will need to wait until these services are restored before you will be able to reset your password.
