If this is your first time accessing the network from off campus, you must first download the VPN (Virtual Private Network) client.
Tips for using the VPN
- VPN licenses are limited. We recommend that you download the file(s) you need to access, and then close your VPN connection so others may access the VPN.
- VPN access is typically limited to a one hour session.
- The VPN may automatically log you out after 15 minutes of inactivity.
