ITS -- VPN information

Weather Alert

Due to the recent winter storm that brought significant snowfall on Sunday and Monday, Springfield College will operate remotely on Tuesday, January 27, 2026. This decision prioritizes the safety of our community and allows Facilities staff the necessary time to clear parking lots and sidewalks. The campus will reopen on Wednesday, January 28, 2026. Please check your email for full details and updates.

Most people do not need VPN (Virtual Private Network) to do work remotely. The VPN is primarily for Staff. You must have your supervisor request/approve VPN access before it will work for you. Supervisors can make VPN requests directly to tsc@springfield.edu. If you are using VPN, please disconnect when you are done. If you are using VPN only to retrieve files from your PC on campus, consider uploading your files to Google Drive and then accessing them remotely from there (do not move files containing PII, HIPPA, or PCI data).
