To improve security, the college now requires you to connect to our systems via a VPN before connecting to RAS.

If you have not already done so, you will need to set up a device to use multi-factor authentication.

Instructions on how to do this can be found here.

Please note the step by step guide below is for personal devices only. College-issued devices are already set up to connect to the VPN.
