Employees: The form for requesting access to data/reports/document management/IIT systems for your specific work area has been updated. The link for this form is found on the IIT sharepoint/website or can be found by logging into etcentral.viterbo.edu. The request process still goes to the supervisor for the employee that needs access, as well as the data steward for the information requested. Both parties will need to approve this request prior to any action being taken by IIT to grant access/create reports. Supervisors and data stewards will approve/deny access using the form in the Etrieve Inbox. When a request has been made an email will be sent from the Etrieve system indicating a form is ready for your action. If you have questions/concerns, contact IIT.

Students who identify as nontraditional (including transfer and part-time students) are invited to help pioneer "VU Nontrads" - a student club focused on sharing mutual support and strategies for success at Viterbo and beyond. In addition to building connections on campus, club involvement/officership can be a great way to demonstrate leadership skills and community involvement. Those interested can contact Grace Ideker at gideke64808@vitebo.edu.
