Online Access

VandalSetup
The VandalSetup guide provides instructions for establishing the following online accounts. You will need your student ID number to begin.

VandalWeb
VandalWeb is the university's main source of personal information forstudents. It is a secure site, and provides access to your:

• UI payment records, including WebCheck instructions;
• Personal contact information, such as mailing and e-mail addresses;
• Student records, including course registrations and degree audits;
• Final grades and transcripts (official transcripts must be ordered through the registrar's office).

Note: EO uses online forms for registration, course status changes and withdrawals. DO NOT USE VANDALWEB for these functions; instead, access the EO Online Forms System.

Contact EO to order an unofficial grade letter for your employer.

 Blackboard
Not all EO courses require the use of Blackboard (UI's course management system), but all new students are required to set up a password for a Blackboard account for possible future use.

 VandalMail Live
The University of Idaho requires all students to activate and use VandalMail Live for all official UI correspondence. Your VandalMail address is provided on the VandalSetup page.

If you need assistance setting up any of these accounts, contact the ITS HelpDesk.
