How to request access

Creating and Accessing User Accounts

VU Amsterdam Qualtrics Central Brand (hereafter VU’s Central Brand) at vuamsterdam.eu.qualtrics.com allows for user’s auto-enrolment, an automated account creation and registration process. Any user with an enabled VU email address may auto-enroll on VU’s Central Brand. The email address will function as the account’s username.

VU’s Central Brand makes use of Single-Sign On (SSO). This means that users can log in to Qualtrics using VU’s internal login system. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is mandatory to all Qualtrics users utilising the vuamsterdam brand (i.e. employees and researchers – students will be informed of upcoming project for MFA implementation). MFA acts as an additional layer of security to prevent unauthorised users from accessing accounts and resources, even when the password has been stolen. Qualtrics will use multi-factor authentication to validate user identity and provide quick and convenient access to authorised users.

To create a user account and access the Qualtrics environment at the Central Brand, please proceed as follows:

  1. Go to: https://vuamsterdam.eu.qualtrics.com

  2. On the login page, choose: Vrije Universiteit SSO

  3. Log in with your VU account credentials (email address and password)

A disabled account status does not affect its data.

Users who receive an error when trying to log back in after extended periods of inactivity (User account is disabled) should contact the RDM Support Desk to have their accounts re-enabled.

Are there costs involved?

There are no costs involved. All students and researchers with a VU email address can use Qualtrics for scientific purposes.
