Technology Support
All semester-based
students are given a Blackboard and/or Moodle, email, and VitNet account.
Blackboard and Moodle are Viterbo University’s online course management
software for most programs. Blackboard and Moodle also serve as a repository
for certain guidelines and forms for communication. Instruction in its use will
occur within specific courses or
through an online training module. The assigned email address is used
throughout the duration of the student’s time at Viterbo University and is the official
means of communication to students. Students are responsible for reviewing all information transmitted to
their Viterbo account, and are advised to check it daily. Students may forward the Viterbo University
email to another email address. VitNet is the online
student information system and is used for registration, grades, and billing. A
Help Desk is available at 608-796-3870 or helpdesk@viterbo.edu
for assistance with computer, Internet, and Blackboard/Moodle
issues.
