Jeff IT Applications
Remote Access Service

When off-campus either at home or on the road, it is possible to access your applications and connect to TJU network services through remote access.  Currently there are two methods: VPN (Virtual Private Network) and RAP (Remote Access Protocol).

Virtual Private Network (VPN)

VPN is a secure service that permits you to create a secure encrypted “tunnel” over the Internet to get to the TJU secure network and your applications and storage.  Provided by our network provider Cisco, this method requires a local software program be installed on your computer.

For more information on VPN, contact the Service Desk at 3-7600.

Remote Access Protocol (RAP)

The other more common method of remotely accessing your campus resources is Remote Access Protocol.  RAP doesn’t require a client software install.  Instead you register for this service and simply access the network remotely using the Internet Explorer browser.

Note: You must be on the Jefferson campus to access the TJUH intranet, which is where the links below will take you.

If you have an account, you can connect to RAP.
