As part of our ongoing security efforts, Technology Services is updating Acadia’s Virtual Private Network (VPN) Services. The new VPN service has enhanced security features and supports mobile devices. The existing VPN service will be decommissioned on the morning of Friday, January 18^th, 2019.

A VPN creates a safe and encrypted connection to Acadia’s internal network for use when off-campus. The VPN is required to remotely access Financial Services and Human Resources secured systems.
