This guide will walk you through the steps to change your VUSD password from either a personal computer or mobile device. You can change your password at any time. After changing your password, it will be valid for 180 days (about 6 months), after which it will expire. You will receive email notifications reminding you to change your password as the expiration date approaches. The first reminder will arrive 30 days before expiration, followed by additional reminders at 14 days, 7 days, 3 days, 1 day, and on the day it expires. If your password expires, you will need to contact our Helpdesk at 730-7627 for assistance with resetting it.
