Overview
The University provides a virtual private network (VPN) to enable secure remote access.
NOTE: Most campus services, including campus email, Dolphin Files, and CI Records can be accessed securely from remote locations without VPN using myCI.
VPN enables University users to access to group network shares (such as “G Drive”) and keyserved campus software remotely. Learn more about what campus services require VPN for remote access.
Please note that all VPN requests must be approved by the Information Security Team. Please allow 3-5 business days for VPN access to be granted.
