For security purposes, Cognos 11 will only be available on the internal campus network. You will be able to access Cognos 11 from off Campus using VPN and our Remote Desktop Server (Windows users only). Visit this Working From Home page for more details on using VPN.

The Cognos server will not be shut down for a few months to allow for a smooth transition, but will no longer be accessible to personnel outside of the IT team. If you need information from Cognos 10, please submit a request to the IT Support Portal. Note that Cognos 10 requests will be given low priority due to the long transition and testing period and ample communication about the End of Life timeline.
