Autodesk, the renowned publishers of technical software such as AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, Inventor, and many more, makes available their software for free for educational use. Vanier ITSS is pleased to promote this to students and employees who are using or are interested in exploring their industry-standard applications.

If you’re a student in a non-credit class, whereby you utilize Mia instead of Omnivox, your login process for Vanier resources (such as printers, computers, and the WiFi) is now different. You must login using “m” followed by your student ID number for your username, and “van” followed by your birthday mmddyy.

e.g.: Username: m1234567; Password: van121368 for December 13, 1968.

Vanier IT Support Services is very pleased to unveil a new cornerstone offering, taking advantage of our campus licensing with Microsoft to provide the Office 365 service to all students. As part of this, students will be able to download and install Microsoft Office for Windows, Mac, or iPad for free, in addition to gaining 1TB of cloud storage on Microsoft’s OneDrive, accessible from any mobile or desktop device. Most notably however, students will now have their own Vanier College email address, formatted as their student number @edu.vaniercollege.qc.ca. This will allow them not-only 50 GB of email storage, but a education-standard email service, linked to their educational institution, which can then be utilized on other services to leverage the frequent discounts and services available exclusively for students – ranging from software to services, such as the New York Times subscription at half-price.
