Announcements

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.

The Vanier interactive map which launched at the beginning of the Fall 2014 semester has gotten even better with its first major update. We’ve heard the suggestions from the Vanier Community, and have eagerly implemented some of them into the map. We are making every effort to grow this interactive map to meet the needs of new and current students alike, as well as the entire Vanier community, who, in the first week of classes alone used the interactive map over 1000 times.

Vanier’s Finance Department has come up with a list of questions and answers for members of the community designed to help you navigate through the Clara/Omnivox Finance and Purchasing System.
Should you require any additional information you can send an e-mail to accounting@vaniercollege.qc.ca

As you may know Vanier is launching its new portal this Wednesday October 8th at 10:00 a.m. As part of this new feature as of Wednesday October 8th at 10:00 a.m. all staff and faculty logging in to Omnivox will have to use their email prefix and email password. Additionally, all students logging into college IT services, including computer labs and printers must use their Omnivox password.
