General OneVU FAQs

Okta is a platform that securely connects faculty, staff and students to the applications and tools they need through a single sign-on. 

Access your organization’s OneVU powered by Okta sign-in URL OneVU. 

You can access OneVU from your mobile device by navigating to your OneVU.vanderbilt.edu from your browser. You can launch most applications directly from the mobile dashboard. Apps that rely on the Okta plugin, specifically apps where you have manually set a password, will require you to copy the password from the dashboard and paste it into the sign-in page. You can’t launch apps configured with an admin-defined password from mobile devices.  

If you have any issues, contact VUIT to submit a support request at help.it.vanderbilt.edu call 615 343-9999 for further assistance. 

The Okta plugin is a browser application that you can install and use with your web browser. These plugins are sometimes called Browser Extensions (Chrome and Safari) or Add-Ons (Mozilla Firefox). Click the link below to install the plugin for your preferred browser.

VUIT recommends using the Okta plugin because it can help you access your apps faster than through the web Dashboard. The Okta plugin can autofill usernames and passwords for apps where the admin has configured a username or password for you.

OneVU doesn’t automatically sign you out of your applications when you sign out of your OneVU session. Each app has its session lifetime, and you can manually sign out of the app after completing your task.

If you’re a Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) user accessing a Vanderbilt University application through OneVU, you should log in using your VUMC email address (e.g., firstname.lastname@vumc.org). 

Once you enter your VUMC email, you’ll be directed to the appropriate login experience based on your account. Just follow the on-screen prompts to complete authentication.
