Get Connected to the Campus VPN

UCSB operates a Ivanti Connect Secure (formerly Pulse Connect Secure) VPN service for secure remote access to the campus network and selected Departmental networks.  This requires the installation of an Ivanti Secure Access (formerly Pulse) VPN client, a connection profile that has been configured for UCSB's VPN server, and at least one device enrolled with UCSB's MFA service (Duo Security). Ivanti Secure Access VPN clients are available for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android and ChromeOS.

Please click on and follow the appropriate instructions link below. You will need to login to UCSB BOX using your UCSBNetID and password in order to download the client software.  Please contact our help desk or call 805-893-5000 if access to BOX is blocked from your location, and we can provide an alternate link for download.
