Requesting VPN Access
The first step is to request VPN access using the attached form. Fill out the form and get your supervisor to sign it. Make sure “Remote Access to Desktop” is checked. Then, have your supervisor forward the form to the CIO by fax at 594-7500 or by campus mail at 121 Ratcliffe. Once VPN access is granted, you will have access to the VPN software, and you will have your desktop set up to allow incoming connections.
Preparing your Work Computer for Remote Connections
To be able to use the VPN to connect using these instructions, your computer will have to remain on campus and be turned on. You will also need to record your computer name.
