Step 1: Login to the AIUB Admission Portal (https://admission.aiub.edu) and download your username and password for the  AIUB Web Portal (www.aiub.edu), also known as VUES (Virtual University Expert System). VUES is AIUB’s own web-based software system for all its university operations. Throughout your academic life at AIUB, you will be using VUES for all your academic needs, like, registration, lecture notes, grades, etc.

Step 2: Login to VUES (www.aiub.edu) using the username and password you downloaded from the AIUB Admission Portal. The username for VUES login is basically your university ID. To login, you can click the ‘login’ button located at the top right corner of the homepage (www.aiub.edu) and reach the web portal login page, OR, you can directly visit https://portal.aiub.edu.

Step 3: After logging into VUES, you will find your username and password for Microsoft Teams. Microsoft Teams is the application used for online classes at AIUB. It is a renowned application of Microsoft and AIUB is a licensed user of this application. You can find Microsoft Teams at the website: https://teams.microsoft.com, OR, download the ‘Microsoft Teams’ Application in your laptop/ desktop computer (Microsoft App Store), or mobile phone (App Store/ Play Store).

The format of your Microsoft Teams username is ‘universityID@student.aiub.edu’. This username is actually your AIUB student email address. You will be using this email address for all official correspondences with the university. It is a Microsoft Outlook 365 email address and can be used to access any Microsoft platform. With this email address you are also entitled to all licensed Microsoft Software that are enlisted under ‘Microsoft Outlook 365 Education’. For the email account, you can login at mail.aiub.edu.

So, for all your online classes at AIUB, Microsoft Teams will be the platform you use from October 11, 2020 (Sunday) as per your class routine. The orientation session on Saturday, October 10, 2020 (Tentative) will also be held online using the Microsoft Teams platform. Kindly check the AIUB Homepage Noticeboard later for the specific time slot for the orientation.
