VPN Access

The purpose of the Virtual Private Network (VPN) is to provide a secure connection when connecting to the Marist network from off-campus.  If you're connecting from off-campus, you must first be fully connected to the Internet via your ISP first. VPN access is available to current Marist students, faculty, staff, or special contract employees.

If you require assistance with the VPN please email the Help Desk at helpdesk@marist.edu or call 845-575-4357.
