Virtual Private Network (VPN)

Engineering Graduate students are eligible to request and use VPN access.  Please note that usage is restricted to a single device.  Undergraduate students involved in teams or clubs may be granted access on a case-by-case basis. If applicable, please email enghelp@uwo.ca 

Process for Graduate Student VPN Requests

  1. The Engineering graduate student completes and submits the Grad Student Remote Desktop Access Request Form.
  2. Upon submission, we verify the IP address and other form details (e.g., RDP vs. SSH).
  3. If the information is correct, we approve the Kuali Form.
  4. We then submit a ticket to WTS to have the IP address added to the Graduate Student VPN.
  5. WTS will add the IP address to allow RDP access on the Grad VPN.
  6. Once approved, we send an invitation to the graduate student.
  7. The student follows setup and login instructions provided.
  8. The graduate student should then be able to connect to the VPN and access their computer remotely.
