A UA VPN connection is required for access to some campus resources while off-campus (i.e. when you are not connected to UAWifi or plugged into an on-campus wired connection). The VPN provides a secure connection from your laptop, mobile device, etc. to the UA network. You do not need to use VPN when connected to the on-campus UAWifi network.
In particular, VPN is required to use the LearningSpace software used by the Doctoring course. To install UA VPN:
In a web browser, navigate to vpn.arizona.edu
In the login box, verify that the default Group is "1-UASSLClient"
Enter your NetID
Enter your Password
For the Second Password option, type the word push (Please see image below and instructions for additional methods)
If you see this box, you are required to type something in the NetID+ Method depending on the NetID+ two-factor authentication method you choose.
For example, if you set up the Duo Mobile app on your smartphone (the most common method), then type the word “push ” into the NetID+ method box, click “Login”, and look for the push notification on your phone to approve.
If you use NetID+ via an SMS text message, you would type the word “SMS ” into the NetID+ method box, and wait for a text with codes, then type in one of those codes in the NetID+ Method box.
