The most common need for this is accessing network shares, such as the N and Q drives, and specific webpages. Items such as E-mail, Box, Canvas, etc. will all function without the use of a VPN.

There are a few ways to connect from off-campus, which vary based on the type of computer you use to connect.

Windows computers have 3 options to connect to campus:
