Virtual Private Network (VPN) Access

Summary

This knowledge base article describes how to request VPN access for college owned laptops

Body

Many of the college's computing resources (like Microsoft Office365, ctcLink and Canvas) are available from any device/location connected to the Internet.

There are occasions when the resource you need is located within the protected areas of the college's network. The most common resource that falls into this category are network shares, but click here for a full list. There are several network shares used by individuals, departments, committees, etc., and are normally mapped to specific drive letters when accessed from on-campus computers. To access these shared/shared drives from afar, you must be able to create a secure tunnel between your Internet connected location (your home, coffee shop, etc.) and the college's network. This is accomplished with the use of a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection.

To get started, complete the Virtual Private Network (VPN) Access form

Faculty and exempt employees are not required to complete this form, however, ​​​​​​​during "Stay Home/Stay Healthy," classified staff are NOT required to complete a Telework Agreement
