Virtual Private Network (VPN) Overview

The GlobalProtect Virtual Private Network (VPN) allows users from a remote location, public network or Internet service to securely connect to protected university resources that are not accessible off-campus (e.g., file servers, print servers, SQL servers and remote logins to university-owned computers). Using the VPN ensures that university resources are accessed in a secure manner. The VPN is ideal for accessing sensitive data, such as HIPAA, FERPA and research data, when not on the university campus.

All University employees have been provided a VPN1 account. University students must request a VPN account via the Identity Access Management portal.

To use the VPN, users must complete the GlobalProtect onboarding process.
