Getting Started: Your Account

As a distance instructor, you'll first want to create your client account on the Centra server.

If you have a Virginia Tech PID, please set up your account as follows. The following domains are available for enrollment. If you are unsure which domain you should choose, contact us via our help request form.

Enter your Virginia Tech PID and password, then select Continue. If you enter a PID / password combination that is not valid you must try again. If you have a Centra account, you will be logged in at this point. You may continue to the scheduling section New users will be taken to a page to enter in their account information.

When entering in New User Information:

Enter your name with your first name in the first field and your last name in the second field.

The email address entered should be your primary email address that you will be used for contact with IDDL Support.

The display name will be used by the rest of your class to identify you. Do not use your login name here. Instead enter in how you would be addressed in a classroom setting. Good examples of Display names are Dr. Davis, Professor Orum, Miss Shaeffer or Mike.

If you find it necessary to change any of your information, you will need to request the changes through our help request form.
