Welcome to VPN

When connecting from off-campus, there are several remote options based on your needs including the university's virtual private network (VPN) or the use of remote desktop and applications.

Please note that you will need to request access to the university VPN first. Once you have permission to access the VPN, install GlobalProtect on your device. You will be prompted for multi-factor authentication with Duo during login to the VPN. Registration and installation of Duo will need to be completed prior to using either option.
