What Alumni Need to Know

The Division of Information Technology is working to improve the way that online accounts are created and managed. These improvements are summarized here. The changeover became effective on January 29, 2018.

The biggest change affecting alumni is that G Suite for Education applications (Gmail, Drive, Docs, etc.) has moved under the Login service, enabling access with your PID (VT Username) and password, and providing 2-Factor Authentication protections.

The separate G Suite password are no longer needed.

If you remember your VT Username and password, then you are all set – you will just see the familiar Login screen, and log in as usual.

However, if you do not recall your PID (VT Username), password, or have not set up 2-Factor Authentication – you need to take a few additional steps to access your G Suite applications. Please follow this link to: Reset your password, or recover your PID

The setup for 2-Factor Authentication will happen automatically upon resetting your password.

Note: If you use other applications, such as a desktop email client, to pull email from your vt.edu Gmail account, click here for some additional points you may need to consider.
