VPN
  • VPN allows you to connect to University resources requiring a secure Washington University network connection to access.
  • You must have WUSTL 2FA enabled for your account in order to use VPN. For more information, see it.wustl.edu/2fa
  • Many tools do not require a VPN connection to access them. For example, Canvas, Zoom, Teams, Box, Outlook, and Office 365 apps. For a list of WashU systems that do and do not require VPN, view WashU Systems VPN Requirements (PDF).
  • You will need to be granted access to use VPN. Your office computer will need to be configured to allow remote connections. (Does not apply to Danforth students)

To request VPN access, complete the online ServiceNow request form. New requests for VPN access are subject to departmental approval. (Does not apply to Danforth students)
