VPN Connection

The UCCSVPN connects your UCCS or personal computer to the UCCS campus network from an off-campus location.

This allows you to access University resources off-campus such as Columbia, Z drive (Faculty/Staff), Z drive (Students), CU-SIS or HCM, and OnBase.
If you are on-campus, please note a VPN connection will not function on Mac OSX.
You can contact the UCCS OIT Help Desk to confirm the VPN is setup correctly.

Open Settings and add a VPN configuration

Open the Settings application on your phone, then tap Add VPN Configuration

For the VPN Type, select L2TP

Then click Back. You should see the page below
