ACVR Database Migration and Website Update
Just a reminder to ACVR members that the launch of our database with the integration into our website is coming soon. You will receive an email updating you on the start of the migration.

During this time, users may notice a disruption to the ACVR Shop and the VRU Journal, along with other functionality of the website.

Many of the changes are only going to affect the backend of our website and will not be seen by our members. We will provide instructions and resources to help you navigate the changes you will see with minimal disruption.

Once the transition is complete, you will receive an email requesting that you reset your user account password. After that, you will be all set to navigate the ACVR website as you did before.

We appreciate your patience as we complete this project. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to ACVR Administrative Staff.
