Utah Tech uses GlobalProtect VPN to provide secure access to University network resources both on and off-campus.
- Current employees may use the client on both University-owned and personal devices. Some features and access to certain resources will not be available unless you are using a University-owned device.
- Students are also eligible to use the GlobalProtect client. At this time, access is limited on a case-by-case basis, typically as needed for special access for a class or lab. Your instructors will have more information for those who need access or you can contact the Help Desk if you believe you have an access need. Wider access for students is coming soon.
- **Note** You must not be signed into a sponsored account on your device along with your outlook account as Global Protect works off your Digital Id account and it will notify you that you do not have access and must contact a System Administrator. You also cannot be logged into a PC on a local account (i.e Dept. Account) If this happens then simply log out of your sponsored account and/or local account and proceed. Once you are connected to Global Protect then you can sign back into your sponsored account on outlook.
- If you are using an Android, ChromeOS, or IOS device, download the GlobalProtect Client from the Google Play or Apple store, then proceed to step 6.
