Faculty and staff who need to access to services listed in the Admin VPN section of our Do you need VPN? page need to submit a request describing the Admin VPN resource(s) that you require on the following form: Request VPN Access - Help Desk - Jira Service Management (atlassian.net). Once you are approved, you can use the same VPN client as standard users with the elevated permissions granted by that form. 

  1. Install VPN using this link: https://remotevpn.wwu.edu 
  2. When prompted, enter your Universal username and password.
  3. After you sign in, Windows and macOS users will be presented with a download button for the Cisco AnyConnect client.

  4. After installation, the client will automatically start and connect to WWU. Later, you can access the client by going to:
    • Windows: Start > Programs > Cisco
    • Mac: Applications > Cisco
    • When you click the Connect button, the client should connect automatically to the WWU VPN server. If the "Connect to" field is blank, enter the address of the VPN server: remotevpn.wwu.edu
