VT PACE Accounts
Virginia Tech provides a secure and accountable method for groups to share departmental or workgroup email through the use of Personal Access for Collaborative Email (PACE) accounts. A PACE account is useful for situations when a department or workgroup needs a long-term, stable email address; and multiple members of the department or workgroup need to access the same email. Also with a PACE address a department or workgroup gets a simple email address (e.g., account_name@vt.edu) and the ability to control who may access the email. PACE accounts could also be used for events like a conference or symposium. One of the advantages to using a PACE account is that it helps keep your Inbox clean since all email sent to the PACE address actually goes to a separate Inbox which you can have in your Folder List in Outlook or access via weboutlook.vt.edu.
One of the requirements to using a PACE account is that you must have a Hokies account which limits their usage to Faculty and Staff. The table below lists the current PACE accounts that the college has along with a brief description on their usage. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have questions or would like to obtain a PACE account for your workgroup, unit, or event.
