•  You'll use your VUnetID to access various VUIT services, such as:

  • Accessing any Vanderbilt University resource behind Single-Sign-On (SSO) portal.

• VUIT Support: When you need technical assistance or troubleshooting help from VUIT's IT support team, your VUnetID will be used to identify your account along with any related accounts.
