If you are having trouble logging in to your VECCS account, please email [email protected].
No, you do not need to subscribe to VIN, but you do need a VIN login for access. To do so, please email VIN at [email protected] by close of business on the Friday before the webinar. In the email, include your full name and contact information.
If you have already created an account, but are having trouble getting into VIN, you can also email [email protected] for support.
Most likely, we have an old or incorrect email address on file for you or you have accidentally unsubscribed from our emailing list. Please contact [email protected] and we will troubleshoot this with you!
If your status has changed from student or intern/res to veterinarian, our system doesn’t enable you to change this yourself when renewing, at this time, so please contact [email protected] to let us know and we can happily change that for you!
Email [email protected] with the conference/year attended and the name and email address you registered under.
