Important update to how you communicate with students
As of August 1, 2026, VIU is communicating with students only using their MyVIU email addresses. Moving forward, you will only receive lists with that email address on it — no personal email address. Please remind students to check their MyVIU email accounts! Learn more about the MyVIU email accounts
