If you need assistance with MyID, contact the SVA IT Help Desk, email helpdesk@sva.edu.

Zoom

Zoom is a remote conferencing service that combines video conferencing, online meetings, chat and mobile collaboration. Zoom has removed the 40-minute time limit for schools affected by the coronavirus.

Office 365

Office 365 is available for all faculty and staff through MyID. However, before using this new tool, you will see a banner message with a green button in MyID telling you that one of your apps needs a plugin. Follow the prompts to install the plugin or “extension” to your browser and begin using Office 365 on your laptop or computer.

If you need assistance, please email helpdesk@sva.edu.
