VPN required

VPN stands for virtual private network. Think of it as a private highway for Internet traffic. Only authorized people (MCC employees) can use the MCC VPN. It allows us to send and receive data like we were directly wired in to the campus network. It is a secure way to transfer data.

At MCC we use Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for our VPN.

Connect to VPN on your laptop or PC off-campus and use a web browser to connect to:

  • Argos Reports
  • Banner 9 (was INB)
  • Banner Workflow
  • ePrint
  • TYPO3 (approved web liaisons-Chrome browser only)
  • WebFOCUS
