PIDs - virginia tech personal IDs
Your Virginia Tech 'PID' is a unique Personal IDentifier. The PID you have been assigned belongs to you and you only; it, along with your PID password, serves to grant you access to your e-mail, Virginia Tech systems such as Blackboard, Filebox, Hokie Spa, the university libraries' electronic resources (databases, e-journals, e-reserve, and some electronic theses and dissertations) and more.
Go to the university's PID page to learn how to get a PID, how to change passwords, setting up aliases, forwarding to another email address, and searching for people.
If you already have an email account through another service (e.g., HotMail, Yahoo, etc.), you should forward your Virginia Tech email to this existing account. The library, for example, sends out overdue notices and other annoucements only to official VT email addresses.
