VIULearn Scheduled Maintenance April 21-25

We will be updating the way VIULearn receives information from VIU’s registration and records systems between April 21-25. During this update window, new information about enrolments, courses, and users will not be automatically imported to VIULearn. All changes made between April 21 and 25th will be imported once the maintenance is completed. 

If you need immediate access to a course in VIULearn during this window, please email learnsupport@viu.ca with your name, student number (if applicable) and the full course name (including the semester and section) so we can assist you.

All Systems Stable

If you need support with VIULearn, VIUTube, VIUBLogs, or Zoom, please contact the Centre for Innovation and Excellence in Learning at learnsupport@viu.ca or call 250-740-6179. We are available Monday-Friday from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm PST, excluding days when the university is closed.

UPDATE: VIULearn Some Services Delayed or Not Available

We are seeing some improvements to VIULearn loading and functionality, but users may still experience slower than normal loading times and challenges seeing course tiles in My Courses. The VIULearn ePortfolio tool may also experience intermittent challenges.

To access your courses when the My Courses area does not load, please use the Course Selector icon in the upper right navigation bar.

Our vendor is continuing to work on resolving these challenges. If you have any questions or concerns, please email learnsupport@viu.ca or call 250-740-6179.

VIULearn Some Services Delayed or Unavailable

Course images and banners may not load for all users at this time. If you do not see your course tiles under My Courses, please use the course selector icon (the waffle icon in the upper right) to access your courses. You may see an error on the course homepage where you normally see a banner.

Users may also experience slower than usual loading times for some parts of VIULearn at this time. This may cause challenges with uploading and viewing assignments and with completing quizzes. If possible, please postpone these activities until the issue is resolved.

Our vendor is currently working to resolve this issue and will have full service restored as soon as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience.

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