Many USC Lancaster campus systems depend on University E-Mail to communicate with Faculty, Staff, and Students.  It is very important that each faculty and staff member changes their own e-mail address in VIP from the Groupwise e-mail address to the Outlook e-mail address. 

Here are instructions to access and modify Online Data Directory information.  This information identifies all users in the Exchange Global Address List.  (ie:  E-mail Address Book)

Login to VIP using your USC ID/PIN Login (SSN 4 and digit PIN) or your VIP ID/Password Login.

Click the “I’ll do this later, take me to VIP" Button if you have not set up and are using the USC ID/PIN Login to access VIP.

Click on the Personal Link.

Click on Show Me Online Directory Data and Alias

On the Directory Data page it will show your contact information that displays on University systems like the online Directory and the Exchange Global Address List.  Click the Go to Update Form Button to make your desired changes to your Online Directory Data.  You can change the following Directory data; Preferred Name, Fax Number, E-mail Address (right now it is the Groupwise address and you will want to change it to reflect the recent change from GWM to MAILBOX), and Alias.  As far as the Alias you can have this where you can receive e-mail at an alternative address, example faulkejb@sc.edu, dropping the “mailbox” from the address. The Alias allows you to receive e-mails at both addresses.

Click the Update Button once you have made all the desired changes.  A confirmation notice will display show the changes you made.    

You can also update your Campus address and Phone number that displays in the Exchange Global Address List (E-mail Address Book).
