Setting Up Accounts
Vandal Accounts
As a student, you are automatically provided with a University of Idaho account. To go through the initial setup process to activate your account, you will need access to a phone number or email address you provided on your registration form to receive a six-digit code for verification. Your University of Idaho Account provides access to Canvas (course materials), Office 365 Email (@vandals), VandalWeb (unofficial transcript and other personal records) and more.
Setting up a new student account:
To set up your accounts please follow the links below for step by step guides from the university's information technology services department.
After setting your password and enrolling in DUO, connect to your VandalMail email account ending in @vandals.uidaho.edu at mail.uidaho.edu. All ISI correspondence will be sent to this account. However, you may set up email forwarding to a personal account.
If you encounter any problems during the setup process, please submit a service ticket at support.uidaho.edu. Please contact the ISI office if your course does not appear in Canvas within three business days of the date of registration.
Once you have set up your security profile and activated your account, you will be able to access your course via Canvas. The "Course Rules" section on the Canvas website provides information on how to contact your instructor, submit assignments and the textbook and other materials you will need for your class.
Take a few minutes to read the process on the New Student Guide. Next, proceed to the information below.
