Over the next few months, you'll receive a series of messages about the transition and integration between the technology services at EVMS and the services provided at ODU. Taking one step at a time, we will establish your new ODU identity and email address, then connect your computer to ODU systems using these new logins. This page outlines each step in this transition, and will be updated as we go along.
Technology Help
The ODU and EVMS Help Desks have joined forces, with addition technicians to answer your questions and resolve issues around the clock. The EVMS phone number and email address for IT support remain active; you can reach us using the contact info below or continue to get help at 757-446-7400 or evmsit@evms.edu.
IT Town Hall
On July 29, leadership from the Division of Digital Transformation & Technology answered your questions about the ongoing migration of technology services. If you weren't able to make it, you can watch the recording here.
Your ODU Identity
By now, you should have set up your new ODU digital identity (your "MIDAS ID") which is synchronized with your EVMS identity. Your user name and password are the same on both sides (with very rare exceptions); this ID unlocks ODU and EVMS technology services. (If you still need a MIDAS ID, see this guide.)
ODU Accounts
You automatically received access to services like email, Office 365, Google Apps and network access when we integrated. You don't need to do anything to activate these services; just log in with your ODU ID and password. Additional services, however, must be requested through MIDAS. These requests are automatically routed to the appropriate people for approval, and most accounts are processed within 24 hours. Request the following services and accounts at midas.odu.edu:
- Banner
- BDMS
- Database Accounts
- Web Time Entry
Workstation & Email Migration
One of our largest integration tasks is the migration of individual workstations and email accounts to ODU servers. This is happening a little at a time over the next several months, and we are working closely with each department to ensure that all needs are met and concerns are addressed. We will let you know exactly what date your workstation and mailbox will be migrated and what you can expect, and we will work closely with you to make sure your files are safe.
Changes to Other Technology Services
Learn what will change (and what won't) as you use services like Zoom, cloud storage, printing, badging, and more.
