OASIS

OASIS

or Online Access to Student Information Systems, is a tool that makes information available to students, faculty, and staff via the campus network. OASIS is the primary method that students use to register for courses. OASIS was developed by Management Information Systems in conjunction with the University Registrar.

Questions related to connecting with the University network should be directed to the Help Desk for Information Technology Services at 343-1631 or any school computer lab. Questions about the registration process, use of OASIS, or dates and deadlines should be directed to school registrars. A list of these can be found here.

OASIS requires the use of a VUnet ID and an e-password. Information about obtaining a VUnet ID can be found at VUnet Services. Information on e-passwords, including instructions for obtaining an e-password and dealing with forgotten e-passwords is available here.
