Other News:

  • Email is not a secure or private file exchange method. Never send private information such as passwords, Social Security numbers, credit card numbers by email or as attachments to email. Over the next year, we will begin implementing additional security measures through Office 365 that will help draw attention to potential security concerns.
  • With the Viterbo website redesign comes the increased need for internal sites for @viterbo.edu users. We’ve started intranet sites rollout using Office365. Check out the HR, IITISSARC sites and contact me if you need one for your department or committee.
  • Over the last year, we have been slowing rolling out Vitnet Self-Service. This will eventually replace all current Vitnet functionality. Check out the links under the Self-Service menu in Vitnet.
