VPN/Remote Access

SCSU supports the following remote access services available to faculty and staff.

Virtual Private Network Client (VPN):

Virtual Private Networking (VPN) software creates a secure, encrypted connection between your off-campus computing device (laptop, phone, tablet) and the campus network.

The full VPN client option allows members of the university community who have a NetID to securely access SCSU networks and provides full service access to network resources similarly to being on campus. A client needs to be installed on your workstation.

To connect using this method on Windows, Mac, or a Mobile device (recommended), please see the Connect via VPN Client page.

Remoting into a Windows desktop:

In the event that you would need to remote into a SCSU Windows computer, the videos below will walk you through each portion of the process.
