Updated 2FA Text Message Method
Click to learn how to change your 2FA method
Microsoft plans to discontinue the use of two-way text message as a two-factor authentication (2FA) option in the near future. If you currently use this option, we strongly recommend switching to the Microsoft Authenticator mobile app now. If your device does not support the app, you can select to use the phone call verfication method instead.
NOTE: If you are using 2FA to access other VSU resources like remote desktop or remote labs, you will first need to log in at https://2fa.valdosta.edu to change to the mobile app or phone call method.
Updated Steps to log in to MyVSU using Text Message Method
- Log in to MyVSU and select "Text Me. You will still receive a text message with a verification code.
- On the MyVSU login screen, enter the verification code and click “Sign In”.
- Log in to MyVSU and select "Text Me. You will still receive a text message with a verification code.

Congratulations VSU IT Spring 2022 Graduates
VSU IT is proud of all of our graduates and wishes you the best on your future journeys.
To showcase all our graduates and their future plans VSU IT has created a Spring 2022 Graduates PDF.CODE RED Workshop
On Thursday, February 24th, VSU’s Career Opportunities and Volunteer Services hosted a CODE RED workshop on the topic “Planning My Career.” According to Phenix Culbertson, a VSU student career counselor, these workshops are hosted a few times a semester and include the “provision of resources, insight, and networking opportunities for students” hoping to promote future career preparedness. VSU IT was excited to receive the collaboration invite and is proud of Chief Information Security Officer Gary Miller and Chief Information Officer Kevin Overlaur for speaking to the students during this workshop. Overlaur feels that events like CODE RED allow “students with diverse majors to get a perspective from professionals on how our story and careers could possibly be lessons that each participant could use, at least in part, to be better prepared for their career choices.” During the meeting, the CIO and CISO talked about their own experiences in technology and leadership focusing on career readiness. Overlaur states that he “was very impressed with the thought-provoking questions from the student participants” and felt that “there were very exciting and promising goals that each student had after their time at VSU is finished.” The IT division looks forward to participating in future CODE RED events as well as continually providing on-the-job training opportunities through student employment, internships, and graduate assistantships.
