How do I VPN into the Northwood network while off-campus?

1. Make sure you're off campus and have internet (WiFi or Ethernet)
   • You should only be using VPN to access programs like Perceptive Content, Colleague, Share Drives or changing your NU password if not on-campus
2. Open FortiClient VPN from the Start Menu
3. Choose SAML Login
   • If this option isn't visible and it shows "Register with Zero Trust," enter ems.northwood.edu, select Connect, and you should then see the SAML Login option
4. Enter your Northwood email (i.e. username@northwood.edu) and password
5. Use your chosen Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) method, or choose Sign in another way for a different verification method
   • Disregard the Don’t ask again for 90 days box, you will be prompted every time to enter a verification code
6. Accept Northwood's AUP
   • When connected, a yellow lock icon appears.

To disconnect, right-click the blue FortiClient icon in the system tray and pick Disconnect from Northwood VPN
