VPN Access (If you need to access Banner 9)

Faculty, staff and vendors can request VPN privileges to access internal campus resources remotely.  Examples of this include Banner INB and RDP connections to individual desktops and/or departmental servers.  VPN access requires supervisory approval. Due to current capacity limitations, please only connect to the VPN when using a service that requires VPN and be sure to disconnect from the VPN when you are no longer using that service.

To request virtual private networking (VPN) privileges to access internal campus resources remotely, complete the forms at the links below. 

Note: Due to current capacity limitations, please only connect to the VPN when using a service that requires VPN and be sure to disconnect from the VPN when you are no longer using that service.  Please note that most NCCU and cloud resources, such as Blackboard, Banner SSB, Office 365, and don't require the use of VPN.
