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. Any student can use the VPN for a secure connection back to the general Campus network and Internet.  More specific access is granted on case-by-case basis, typically as needed for 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.
• Vendors, contractors, or others using a sponsored account for VPN access to the UT internal network will need to coordinate with their campus contact person and/or IT Services.
