Campus VPN login process will be different as of March 12

  • If you already use the Duo app for multi-factor authentication, you will begin using it to access the campus VPN as well. You will be prompted to authenticate each time you connect to the campus VPN.
  • You will see fewer options in the drop-down menu.

We are adding this additional layer of security to the VPN to protect the university. There have been a number of targeted attacks against higher education institutions where their VPN was used as a means for unauthorized access to systems and information.  


The Cybersecurity Improvement Initiative

Technology Services and our campus IT partners are embarking on a multi-year effort to increase protection for our people, resources, and data.

Need a Privacy Review?

We can provide free consultative services.

If your university responsibilities include storing, capturing, or processing PII, you could benefit from a Privacy Review. A Privacy Review looks at projects that create or collect new PII or use existing personal information in a new way.
