When you are off-campus (e.g. working from home or travelling abroad), you can still access U of T resources in a secure manner.
Many web-based resources are available to you over a regular Internet connection by logging in with your UTORid, password and UTORMFA. Examples include:
These resources can be accessed from your own device; a U of T-owned laptop is not required.
If the Internet connection you are using is potentially insecure, such as when you are using a Wi-Fi connection provided by a coffee shop or other public place, use U of T’s UTORvpn service to protect your Internet traffic from being intercepted or surveilled.
To access ROSI (including ROSI Files and ROSI Express) and AMS systems such as HRIS and FIS, you will need to open a secure connection using the AdminVPN service (Not UTORvpn) and validate your identity with UTORMFA.
Your department may have implemented remote access solutions for your shared network drives and your full office workstation.

Some resources are restricted to on-campus networks or specific IP addresses, but they may have been configured to work over specific VPN connections as well. For example, UTORGrouper and the Licensed Software Office can be accessed via UTORvpn while off campus. Check with your local IT or the system administrators if you are unsure how to access the specific resources you need.
