Every MSU Virtual
University student will receive an "MSU NetID" and password.
This ID is used by all MSU students,
faculty, and staff, on and off campus and provides access to:
The ability to
connect to the Internet via modem from around the State of Michigan is an
important privilege of Virtual University students, and it is governed by
the MSU Acceptable
Use Policy.
If you don't live
in the state of Michigan there are other options! Please call us at 1-800-500-1554 (North
America and Hawaii) or 517-355-2345 (other international) if you need
help.
Students taking
courses through Virtual University may also use the resources of Michigan
State University Libraries. MSU
Library Outreach Services is designed to meet the information needs of
students registered for off campus Virtual University courses and provides
on-line means for requesting library books, materials and services.
In some courses,
MSU will provide other resources (e.g., books or software) with the associated
expense included as part of the enrollment fee. Please consult the information
describing the course in which you are interested.
Finally, VU has
set up an Online
Orientation for the MSU Virtual University (How2VU). This web site will
step you through creating your MSU network authorization and provide a hands-on
overview of basic VU web site tools and navigation. Exercises are included
to give you an opportunity to explore the various tools at your own pace
and before you are required to use them in your courses. We strongly recommend
that you complete the exercises over several visits, as there is a great
deal of information contained in this site.
