Connecting From Off Campus

This is also the prefix to your email address. If your email address is user@bvu.edu, then your NetID is user.

If you are unsure what your NetID is or you have forgotten your password, please contact the BVU Computer Center Help Desk by email 2fix@bvu.edu or call 712.749.2349, 800.248.4462 (toll free).
