What is the policy for accessing Loyola IT resources remotely?
Please review the Policy on Responsible Use of University Computing Resources Addendum for COVID-19: Accessing some university resources through the internet off campus may require a VPN (Virtual Private Network) connection to do so. This does two things: it guarantees that the communication will be encrypted and that you are using a University IP address.
For security reasons Loyola will not allow VPN access on anything other than a Loyola owned device. We must make sure that the device has an Anti-Virus software that is up to date and that the hard drive is encrypted. For this reason Loyola is allowing users to take their Desktop machines home. However, call the help desk at x2255 because we need to install the VPN and we will encrypt the hard drive. You also must check with your supervisor, chair, or dean.
Contact the Help Desk at 504.865.2255 or email them at support@loyno.edu.

We have technicians manning the phones during normal business hours, and we are checking messages even on the weekends. You can also leave an urgent message and someone will be paged.
