Pulse Secure VPN is being replaced by Cisco AnyConnect. If you use the University VPN, AnyConnect offers the same functionality as Pulse but delivers an enhanced and faster experience for online conferencing and content streaming.
Pulse Secure VPN will be available until the end of January 2022. The Cisco AnyConnect installation has already been pushed out to Division of Student Affairs computers and is ready to use.
