Staying Safe With VUX

VUX is used by everyone here and it contains loads of personal information. Information that, in the hands of somebody else, could lead to the ruining of your college career. It is important to know how to use VUX properly and how to keep it safe.

Tip 1. Always log off when you are done. This should be a no brainer but it happens all the time. Closing the browser does not log you off. To log off go to the top right corner of your screen and click your name, then click Sign Out.

Tip 2. Keep your password secure. A password is only useful if only one person knows it. Even if they are your friend, there should be no reason for you to give them your password. The IT department will never ask for your password.

Tip 3. Create a unique password. Many people have access to your A number and it is not safe at all. It is important to change your password manually to something only you know. Follow the instructions here.
