Student VPN2 Account NotificationWe are aware that some students have received an automated email stating that the VPN service has been removed from their account.

This notification does not affect your primary University computer account. You can continue to log into MUSE, Gmail, and Blackboard as normal.

The VPN is only required for accessing specific, restricted University internal services from off-campus. Most standard student resources remain fully accessible without it.
If you believe you still require VPN access for your studies or research, please visit https://students.sheffield.ac.uk/it-services/get-connected/vpn for instructions on how to manage your access.

If you do not use specialised University software or internal systems from off-campus, no further action is required.

Please note this table is only updated in office hours (8am - 5pm Monday to Friday).
