VPN Update to Faculty and Staff

Dear Howard University Employees,

We are writing to provide information on the new way employees will be able to access the University’s IT network through VPN. As with all networked services, and in alignment with the University’s hardened security strategy, VPN services are currently available to the members of the campus community whose devices have been whitelisted.

Your device was whitelisted if:
a. You recently received a new laptop from ETS; or
b. Your computer was reimaged by a member of the ETS team.
