VPN Access

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) allows a computer to create a private connection over the internet to the UVU network. Using VPN technology, you can connect to the UVU network from anywhere and securely access UVU resources as if you were physically located on campus.

Remote access to the campus network and some online university services require use of the AnyConnect virtual private network (VPN) client. The VPN is a limited resource, and is not necessary for most work. Please use cloud services whenever possible to reduce strain on infrastructure, only connecting to VPN when using VPN-dependent resources.
