Welcome to the VSU eCore® web site. The eCore® are core curriculum classes taught via GeorgiaVIEW and are designed for students who need the flexibility and convenience of online learning. Core classes are typically those classes required during the first two years of a college degree. Since not all core curriculum classes will be available as eCore, you may need to take some core classes in a traditional classroom setting.

Username & Password change:

USERNAMES: Effective Spring 2009, eCore usernames will no longer be ecoreXXXXXX. Rather, the username for ALL eCore students will now be your VSU email address. (For example, astudent@valdosta.edu).

PASSWORDS: Default passwords for new-to-eCore students will be the student’s birthday in 8 digit format (example: student was born on February 15, 1987 – default password would be 02151987). When you log into VISTA for the first time, you will be required to change the password to something only YOU know. You can do this without having to contact the Online Support Center.
