_{VT Email} 

Retirees may keep their Virginia Tech email addresses ("@vt.edu"). These accounts can be set to forward to another desired account. 

** On April 26, 2023, changes were announced to Virginia Tech Google services including email, calendar, and storage. For retirees, the Virginia Tech email address will still be “VTUsername@vt.edu” but, if a retiree is currently using Google, the email and calendar will move to Microsoft 365. More information about the email, calendar, and other changes is available on the Google Service Changes at Virginia Tech website. On this site, select retirees for more specific information. 

PID/Credentials

A Virginia Tech retiree may keep their PID with its associated password. The university's Acceptable Use of Information Systems of Virginia Tech applies to use of the PID. Periodic renewals may be required.

Connectivity

Retirees expecting to spend time on campus can use VT Open Wireless.

Passwords can be changed in OneCampus, Account Manager or MyCat. An option to reset a forgotten password will appear when logging in to Virginia Tech online services. To change a password for the telephone answering system, contact the 4Help line.
