HELP! My files in my Teams chats aren't accessible anymore!

These files are stored in OneDrive for Business of the person who originally shared it inside a folder named Microsoft Teams Chat Files

That person will need to re-add each file using the following directions:

  1. Go to the Files tab

  2. Click Share

  3. Select OneDrive

  4. Click on the Microsoft Teams Chat Files folder

  5. Select the appropriate file

  6. Click Share

  7. Repeat 2-6 for all files shared by you in that chat

  8. Repeat 1-7 for all appropriate chats

 

HELP! I can't access my student stuff in MyFVTC Account!

If you are both a student AND an employee for the college (such as interns and workstudy), you have one extra step to see your student information in MyFVTC.

When you log into your MyFVTC account it will default to your staff access, but if you click in the top middle of the screen you'll see a drop-down with "MyFVTC" indicated.

That is how to access your student panels (register for classes, see your study list, pay your bill)

PROJECT DETAILS 

As our processes, systems and security requirements change, several of our older sign-in processes at FVTC are no longer able to support current standards of safety, security and technology best practices. 

As a result, FVTC will be transitioning to using a single account sign-in for ALL USERS of FVTC systems. We are calling this project "One Account."


There are TWO major components to this change

The first is HOW you sign into FVTC systems

No matter who you are: student, staff or Dual Credit instructor, you will sign in with a nine-digit FVTC ID.

The second is a CHANGE to your FVTC email address

If applicable, your staff or student email will be updated to a different naming convention. 


For More Details

  • View the "Identify who you are" section below to see how these changes will affect you, your account and your email.

  • CONTRACT STAFF (Faculty, Support Staff & Management) - View the Staff Preparation section on what steps you need to take to prepare for the transition BEFORE June 17.

  • Scroll down for more answers to your questions on this change.

  • Feedback or additional questions are always welcome:  helpdesk@fvtc.edu  

Identify who you are, to see the changes to your Sign In & Email

I am a student only (Degree-Seeking, Program student)

Account Sign In

For all your FVTC Sign ins, you will CONTINUE TO USE your nine-digit FVTC ID number.

  • This includes, but is not limited to: MyFVTC Account, Blackboard and your Office 365 (FVTC Email) accounts.
  • For some systems you will have to add @fvtc.edu to the end of your sign in (e.g. 123456789@fvtc.edu)

Email Address Changes

A NEW email address will be added to your FVTC account and be delivered to your inbox:

  • Your preferred first name + a dot + your preferred last name + the last four digits of your FVTC ID number + @fvtc.edu 
    e.g. - mary.smith6789@fvtc.edu
  • If no preferred name is listed on your account, your primary or legal name will be used
  • Spaces will be eliminated, however, dashes will remain

As a courtesy, the following, existing email addresses will still be delivered to your inbox:

  • Your full ID and @fvtc.edu 
    e.g. - 123456789@fvtc.edu
  • Your first eight letters of your last name, then the last four digits of your ID number and @fvtc.edu 
    e.g. - smith6789@fvtc.edu

I am a student taking one class, training or seminar. 
This includes DUAL CREDIT HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, Criminal Justice, ICAC & AMBER Alert customers, APICS customers.

Account Sign In

For all your FVTC Sign ins, you will CONTINUE TO USE your nine-digit FVTC ID number.

  • For some systems you will have to add @fvtc.edu to the end of your sign in (e.g. 123456789@fvtc.edu)

Since you are not eligible for an FVTC student email address, we will continue to contact you using the preferred email on your FVTC account (i.e. - Gmail, Yahoo, iCloud, etc).  Your login to those email systems is not affected by this.

I am a student AND I have an Internship / Work-Study job

Account Sign In

  • You will CONTINUE TO USE the same password from your previous STAFF sign in, NOT your student sign in (this is different for you than your other classmates who have a single account).
  • For some systems you will have to add @fvtc.edu to the end of your sign in (e.g. 123456789@fvtc.edu)

Email Address Changes

A NEW email address will be added to your FVTC account and be delivered to your inbox:

  • Your preferred first name + a dot + your preferred last name + the last four digits of your FVTC ID number + @fvtc.edu 
    e.g. - mary.smith6789@fvtc.edu

  • Spaces will be eliminated, however, dashes will remain

    e.g. - 123456789@fvtc.edu
  • Your first eight letters of your last name, then the last four digits of your ID number and @fvtc.edu 
    e.g. - smith6789@fvtc.edu
  • Your first eight letters of your last name and @fvtc.edu (your old "intern" staff account)
    e.g. - smith@fvtc.edu

Student Account Merging

PLEASE NOTE, because you have a student account and a staff account, we will be MERGING these accounts into a single FVTC Account.  You will not lose any of your documents from either of those accounts. You will use your previous staff password to access this information, NOT your student password.

Timing Details on Merge for this group on Friday, June 10

Just a reminder --- we are beginning the merge of your STUDENT email and OneDrive into your STAFF email and OneDrive this Friday Morning, June 10.

This is in preparation for our transition to One Account, which takes place the following weekend, beginning the evening of Friday, June 17.

 As we begin the merge process, a few things to note:

  • New email sent TO your student account will BEGIN to arrive in your staff inbox Friday morning.
  • We will create a sub-folder in your staff mailbox with your current student inbox and subfolders. (NOTE: this sub-folder will ONLY have your old student mailbox content, not any new emails which are now delivered to your staff inbox).
  • We will create a sub-folder in your staff OneDrive with your student OneDrive folder and subfolders.
  • Your access to the student files MAY BE LIMITED throughout the weekend. 
  • Your staff files and access will remain unchanged.

 Login procedures after the merge:

  • The week of Monday, June 13:  You will sign in with your staff sign in to access all your FVTC email AND OneDrive files for THIS WEEK ONLY:  
    You WILL still need to sign in with student sign in for MyFVTC and Blackboard.
  • Starting the week of Monday, June 20:  You will sign in with your FVTC ID number to access all FVTC systems (your OneAccount will have all your staff content and copied student folders & files).
    This is your login GOING FORWARD:   

Thanks for your patience during this extra phase of the OneAccount conversion.


Answers for your Questions on the move to One Account

Why are we doing this?

Many of our current systems work better with a single account sign in, rather than handling the multiple accounts we currently use to sign in.  Our systems will now be able to better differentiate "who" you are when you sign in (no matter if you are a student or staff member).  It also prepares us in the long term for newer systems in the future.

When is it happening?

Right now we are targeting beginning the transition process in the evening of Friday, June 17

IT WILL INCLUDE DOWNTIME IN ACCESS TO OUR SYSTEMS THIS WEEKEND.

We anticipate that you will use your new login on Monday, June 20.

How does this affect me as a student?

For log in purposes?  Not much will change. You'll use your FVTC ID number to sign in.

However, if you have an FVTC email, that WILL change a bit.  See above under the heading: I am a student only (Degree-Seeking, Program Student) or if you have an internship or work-study job, please see the heading:  I am a student AND I have an Internship / Work-Study job

PLEASE NOTE:  Prepare for downtime the weekend of the transition, beginning Friday, June 17.

How does this affect me as a staff, adjunct, or Dual Credit instructor?

So, you have the biggest change to deal with.

First change?  You will drop your current sign-in name (last name or "ext" account) and use your nine-digit FVTC ID number to sign in to everything. (sometimes referred to as your employee ID or your EMPL ID).  Please note if you have multiple accounts (like a student account), we will merge all of those One Drive documents and emails into a single FVTC Account.

Second change?  You will get a new email address too IF you have an FVTC staff email.

Scroll up this page to pick the employee type you are, to read more on the changes coming to your group.

PLEASE NOTE:  Prepare for downtime the weekend of the transition, beginning Friday, June 17.

How do I find my nine-digit FVTC ID number?

Use the account recovery link here:  https://account.fvtc.edu/find

So what is the benefit?

As we described above, most of it is for security and updating our sign-in processes.

However, it also helps students and some part-time staff who may have multiple accounts (for instance employees who are pursuing an Associate Degree, or our student interns, or our Dual Credit instructors who teach high school and adjunct classes). Those individuals will simply have a single account to manage all of the different hats they wear at FVTC.

It also helps you as full-time staff when students, interns or partners ask HOW they access their account, or even what account TO use. Now everyone signs in the same way with the same type of account.

Wait.  Didn't we just change our password system?

Yes, we sure did change that system.

While the password change and the One Account update are somewhat related, the two are very separate systems and updates.  While they work together and complement each other, the change is necessary to make all of our systems work now and in the future.

This link has more information on that update:  https://kb.fvtc.edu/fvtcpassword

Do I need to change my password when this happens?

No.  You will keep the same password if you have a single staff or student sign in right now.

But if you have multiple sign in accounts with us? Such as a student sign in and an intern sign in?

You will use your CURRENT staff password, not the student password.

Is this happening because of Workday?

While Workday is a new system coming this summer as well, and the Workday logins will benefit from One Account, this switch to a single account has been in discussions across many of our IT departments and systems for many years. The Workday Project did create a bit more urgency to make the change to One Account, as there are many benefits to switch to One Account at the same time.

Staff, learn more about the Workday project here:  Workday Project Site (staff only) 

I still have questions.  Who should I contact?

We know this is a lot.  So if you still have questions, maybe there's a detail above we missed, we are happy to follow-up:  helpdesk@fvtc.edu

We will continue to post additional information on this site too.
