Network Services

The Department of IT provides the following network services for all users of the campus community.

NJCU WiFi

NJCU now provides wireless connectivity to all locations on the Main Campus, both inside buildings and on the campus grounds. Plans are currently on the way to expand services for better performance. For connection details, visit the NJCU Wifi page.

Remote Network Access (VPN)

Remote Network Access through a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection is a secure solution that allows NJCU employees, contractors, and consultants to access the campus network and network services from off campus over the public Internet. This allows members of the University community to access NJCU network resources as if they were on campus. It is an essential tool for those who need to work while off campus. 

Please review Remote Network Access Policy & Procedures and Responsible Use of Computing Resources.
