Remote Access to Administrative Systems

To help prevent unauthorized access of sensitive employee and student data, connections to several University administrative systems (see list below) are only permitted from on-campus (by default). However, any employee with a business need may request authorization for off-campus or remote access.

The following services require authoization and the KSU Cisco VPN for off-campus access:

• Internet Native Banner
• Cognos Reporting
• WebFTP (ICSS)
• Document Imaging

Kronos may be accessed through the KSU Cisco VPN by non-classified supervisors; no special request or authorization is required.

Note: Only an approved computer (such as a university-owned laptop) may be used to access these administrative systems from off-campus.

Instructions for requesting authorization:

The employee and his or her departmental security administrator must complete a  Request for Remote Access to Administrative Systems form and submit it via: 

Fax:	(330) 672-3253
Campus Mail:	Information Services Access Management Group Library 140

Once access has been granted, an e-mail notification will be sent to the departmental security administrator and employee.

KSU Cisco VPN:

Haveing been granted authorization, off-campus access is available through use of the KSU Cisco VPN (Virtual Private Network).
