NEW: GlobalProtect VPN and Duo MFA was retired on April 7, 2025; new VPN, multi-factor authentication services now available

What's VPN (Virtual Private Network)?

VPN connects students, faculty, and staff to campus-restricted resources. To access VPN, you must use multi-factor authentication (MFA). MFA enhances the security of your Marquette account by using a secondary device to verify your identity. Marquette University uses Microsoft Authenticator for MFA.
