Connect via VPN Client

Virtual Private Networking (VPN) software creates a secure, encrypted connection between your off-campus computer and the campus network. Members of the University community can use VPN software to connect securely to the campus network from off-campus.  This software, called Junos Pulse, must be downloaded to your computer,  installed and configured. To connect using the full VPN client, download it below, install and configure it as directed.
