  • You will need administrative access or “elevated rights” to install VPN software on your device.

  • The GlobalProtect VPN app uses your default browser for you to input your login information and to display messages related to connectivity. (Learn more about changing your default browser on Mac, or Windows)

  • Department email accounts will not connect to the VPN. Connect using your personal Cal Poly account.
