Accessing your Email

While using a desktop mail application (such as Outlook) provides the most robust experience, your VSC email can also be accessed via the web and mobile apps.

Outlook

Microsoft’s Outlook is the only fully supported desktop mail application that is compatible with your VSC email account. You can download Outlook for free from the Microsoft account installs page (sign in using your VSC credentials). Once downloaded and installed simply open Outlook and enter your VSC email address to begin (username@vsc.edu). You will be redirected to the standard VSC login page—just enter your credentials and Outlook will take care of the rest. As Outlook downloads a full copy of your mailbox it may take some time for all your emails to show up, which will happen in the background as long as Outlook is open.

For more information How to install Microsoft Office on your personal device outlines the installation steps.

Web Access

Login to Outlook right from your browser at https://www.vsc.edu/mail. Enter your VSC username and password to sign in. This page can be accessed from any device with an active internet connection, just make sure to log out when using public devices!

Mobile App

Downloading the Microsoft Outlook app provides the best experience when using mobile devices. You can use the appropriate link below to download the Outlook app from both the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store:

• Outlook for Android
• Outlook for iOS

Once downloaded, simply launch the app to get started. It will first prompt you for your VSC email address (username@vsc.edu), and then redirect you to the standard VSC login page. Log in using your VSC credentials, then sit tight as your mail is downloaded. Once logged in, the Outlook App will not prompt you to sign in again when accessing your mail, so mobile devices may prompt you to set a lock-screen PIN/password to keep your device and email account secure.

Other email applications

VSC IT strives for the best experience for both students and employees, but does not have the capacity to support every mail program that is currently available. VSC IT recommends using Outlook because we fully support Outlook for Windows, Mac, and mobile devices, but can only put our best effort forth to support other applications that support modern authentication.
